I love all your new "Fall" pictures! The puddle wompin' looked like fun! Looks like your kids will be warm enough for a visit to Wisconsin this winter!!
Looks like the kids had a blast helping with the yard work too! You'll have to do some scrapbooking pages so you can remind them 10 years from now how much fun that kind of family time is!! Our kids always enjoy helping us outside too, even our 12 year old but I don't know how much longer that will be the case!
Julie, I can not believe you only have 10 weeks (or less) to go until Ava arrives. It doesn't seem like that long ago that she was just a prayer away ; ) Your pregnancy is just flying by!! She'll be here before you know it!
Hope you're doing well. I check on you guys everyday, but I haven't had much time to post messages. Just getting over a nasty cold. Our weather can't figure out what season it's in and it's messing us up!!
Take care and hope you're doing well! Lots of love, Kristin

I loved meeting your family. I love your fall pics! Look forward to reading more stories and pics. -Jennifer http://www.babyhomepages.net/batesfamily/ Sep 25 2007
Julie, Those were great first day of fall pictures! Wow, it must have gotten cold there. Not here yet. It has cooled off but not that much! We are waiting for it.... Well guess what, Mason rolled on outta his bed again, so we are going to take it off the frame and just set the mattress and box spring on the floor so he don't have so far to go. I am not sure whats going on. He did so good for such a while and now....2 times in 2 weeks. Luckily though he has not been hurt. Just shook up! Hopefully Landon will not fall out! Keeping fingers crossed for you! Love, Stacey -BHP/winsteads Sep 25 2007

Boy, do I miss puddle wompin'! I haven't done that since college and it looks like it is as fun as I remember! I love you all! Can't wait for October 20th! -Jen Sep 24 2007
Julie,
I clarified my story on Kate! :) Your children are so beautiful and I love the rain pictures of them!! They would be perfect in BW and framed!!
Have a good week and I hope you are feeling better! -Jen Wilson Sep 24 2007
Jules,
Love the pix of the kiddos playing in the rain. I wish I had thought of that. Except I didn't know where my camera was, but I do now. Landon looks adorable in the new jacket we got him for his birthday.
Talk to you soon.
-Tina Sep 23 2007
Hi Torresluna Family, I just love your page. I have been here a few times and have yet to leave a little comment. Julie, your girls are just beautiful and that Landon is such a cutie! Can't wait to see little Ava when she arrives! (By the way, LOVE the name!!)
Feel Free to visit my website anytime, although it is definitely nothing compared to this one!!!

What fun rain playing pictures! We also love the picture of Christian ready for the Big and Rich concert. We were just wondering what his large and in charge belt buckle says! -Love Matt and Christie Sep 22 2007
Isn't it funny how we get all gooy over those tiny little baby clothes. That was super sweet of your friend to return the clothes to you! Memories Memories. Its funny as Ryan has a good bit of clothes that were Mason and everytime I see him in them, Mason just flashes through my head, so I had to buy Ryan a few of his own clothes so he could be his own as well. I hope you are feeling a bit better! I never got them while I was preggo, just after. They were so bad with Ryan, that I couldn't sit down for about 2.5 weeks after he was born and thought I was going to die everytime I moved! Have a wonderful weekend! ~Stacey~ -BHP/winsteads Sep 21 2007
Ohh Juile I just love the new hair DO! It looks really good! I sure hope you are feeling better soon. Gosh I remember those little darn buggers. I only got them after pushing the girls out.
Praying that these last few weeks will go fast and you are holding Ava in your arms and all is well!
Hugs,
Tina
P.S. Oh, I just love Libby LU! If I ever have a party there for Emily I will be sure to let you and Tina know lol! -babywiggins Sep 20 2007
Ooooooh I'm super late... Happy 2nd birthday Landon!!! Glad to hear you had a wonderful day!
Ooooh Poor Julie, I am just catching up on your stories... I feel for ya girl... I actually named my hemmeroid 'Henry'... My hubby would come home from work and ask 'How are you and Henry doing today?'... HAHA! Ugh I hope you get some good meds that will help ya out... I have a feeling that the only thing that'll help is to push that lil Ava out!
Not much longer YAY... I LOVE your new haircute, super cute!
Take Care, -Terresa - www.babyhomepages.net/ourfirstbaby Sep 20 2007
Hey Julie!! I LOVE your hair!! The color and cut looks great on you! It looks very easy to keep up with, which Lord knows you need!! Mommy's just don't get the time we used to. How nice to get pampered a bit!!
I love Maddy's poses before her school picture!! She looked so cute! I can tell from their personalities that Maddy and Emma would have a blast playing with my girls!! If you're ever near Wisconsin...
The stockings your Mom made are just beautiful! What a sweet thing to do. Even Ava will have her very own for her first Christmas!! How lucky for you to have a mom who does such sweet things!!
The pictures of the kids in the doctors office are adorable!! They look pretty darn happy even though they had shots coming!! That's pretty scary that Emma had a reaction like that. After Rebecca had her last MMR, she ended up with a fever the next day and didn't feel well, but I've never seen a reaction like that at the site. Thank goodness for Benadryl!!
Hope you all are having a good week!! I hope you continue to feel better Julie!! Hang in there!!
Lots of love, Kristin
-bhp/schauers Sep 20 2007
I love, love, love your hair. The cut the color everything, it is great. I really like the picture of the stockings too. I will have to get a copy for my records. I love the one with Emma holding it. The doc pics are cute too. What good grandbabies I have.Glad you are feeling better, Hope you remember to not over do. I love you, -Mom Sep 18 2007
Jules,
Love your hair! Can't wait to see it in person.
Madeline looked so cute for her pictures for school.
I am also very happy to hear that you are feeling better too.
Love,
Your sissy~Tina -bhp/ekman5 Sep 18 2007
Hey Julie:
Thank you for the kind words you left on our site. We are so very much enjoying our little precious angel Avery. You have quite a beautiful family yourself and congratulations on your pregnancy. I love the name Ava Claire!
www.babyhomepages.net/babybessho -Tricia Bessho aka "Mimi" Sep 18 2007
They are so precious. Maddy at a piano recital, what a great job she did. You and Christian must have felt truly blessed. Landon climbing up such BIG steps to go down a slide. All of them are adorable. I cannot wait to see what Ava is about. Thanks for keeping in the Torresluna "loop".
May God continue to bless you and your family,
-Joe and Karen Moore Sep 18 2007
I really like your hair. The cut is real similar to mine! The color is nice too! Madeline was too cute for her school pictures. Hope you are feeling better today. Not tooooo much longer and dec will be here and your little angel will be in your arms not on your butt...LOL You posted some good pictures of the kids. The girls acting like maniquines (mis spell), it to funny! Have a great week and I will be checking back! Love, Stacey -BHP/winsteads Sep 18 2007
Hello, I just have to say your kids are adorable, your site is really cool :) I was wondering if you mind sharing what font you use on your front page, I absolutely LOVE it!! -~micki & Ellee bhp/princess_eliana Sep 17 2007
We have some good news....
I can feel your pain. I hadm ild ones and boy did they hurt. But hang in there Mamie- December is not too far off and she'll be here soon.
Happy belated birthday. I'm sorry I missed it in all the confusion over here. Hope you had a great day. -Rondha and the gang/ahrenjudekarransingh Sep 16 2007
Hi there! No, I was unaware that you shared the same birthday as Eric. Although, Rondha Singh's (BHP Mommy to Ahren and Aryanne) husband Raj's birthday is the same day, too! Eric was born in '78. Thanks for the sweet comments about the cake. I actually teach cake decorating so I enjoy doing that in the rare spare time I have. I'm excited for you and your upcoming new arrival. Maybe I can get some hints from you b/c we need some pink in this household. All males except for me pet included LOL.
Have a great weekend, Jamie -bhp/ejhaynes Sep 15 2007
Hi Julie, I finally had a chance to catch up with your website. I see you guys had a great a summer. Happy belated birthday to you and Landon as well. Let's see when we can get together and scrapbook all these wonderful memories. Maybe some digital scrapbooking. XOXOXOXOXOX
-Claudia Sep 13 2007
HUGS!!!!!! YOU NEVER EVER complain so I know it must be bad! I am so sorry my friend, hang in there. This too shall pass. Know that you are my hero and you are an AWESOME Mama. Miss Ava is a VERY lcky girl to come into such an awesome family! -Cheryl Sep 13 2007
Awe. . . I'm so sorry, but you kinda made me laugh a little with that story. It's so honest. Who would have thought that being on your feet would cause hemmorroids? Obviously, I wouldn't know. Well, once better, hopefully we'll be able to do our shopping day. Take Care, and I think I remember someone saying that an Epsom Salt bath helps. Have you tried that? Take Care. . . -Montse Sep 13 2007
I'm soooooo sorry sweetie. I remember the leg cramps like it was yesterday. Oweee, The pain in the rear I remember too, I don't think I was as bad as you or Tina. This to will pass, I hope the doc can help sooner rather than later. I will pray for that. I love you, -Mom Sep 13 2007
I am so sorry that you are in such pain! I would like to tell you that you will feel better soon:o) I remember those days....
Try and get yourself some rest. That should be easy with a toddler! LOL -Your sissy, Tina Sep 13 2007
Hey Julie!! If it makes you feel any better, you look terrific in your birthday pictures! You certainly have that glow going on. Sorry Miss Ava is being a pain in the butt. (LOL, Sorry I just couldn't help myself!) Hope you feel better soon and the doctor can give you some relief. I had my share of that and can sympathize with you. All I can say is Tucks medicated pads, and bananas for the leg cramps. I had those too and I don't miss waking up crying. Thanks for complaining and making this Mommy feel better about not having to deal with the things you forget about!! This too shall pass... It won't be long and Ava WILL be in your arms. Hang in there!!
Congratulations to Landon on moving into a big boy bed. What a big milestone!! Yeah Landon!! Hope you keep staying in your bed like a big boy so Mommy can get her much needed rest!!
Hope school is going well for everyone!!
Renee and I are going to be going camping for Girl Scouts this weekend. The low at night is supposed to be in the 40's. I can't tell you how excited I am to be camping. (Can you hear the smile on my face?) I'm hoping we're one of the lucky ones to get a cabin (although I'm sure not heated) instead of a tent.
Hope you guys have a great weekend! Lots of hugs to everyone!! Love, Kristin
-bhp/schauers Sep 13 2007

Happy belated birthday to you and hugs to Emma for starting school and not crying. Yayy what a big girl. Maddy must be so excited to see all her friends after summer and Landon looks adorable in his 2 year pics. They are super cute.
28 weeks go Mama- youre almost there. I can't believe my Baby is 15 days old. Wasn't it the other day I was moaning about her not coming yet?
Well talk to ya soon -Rondha and her gang/ahrenjudekarransingh Sep 12 2007
Just checking in!! I can't believe you are 28 weeks!! I am jealous!! I want to be pregnant too! The new pics are too cute!! bhp/meesterfamily -Katie M Sep 11 2007

Jules, Happy Birthday to you, Happy, Happy birthday!! For some reason, I thought it was the 10th . . . . Oooops. . . You're the bestest sister-in-law ever!! How fun to have a day of beauty. In my opinion that is the best gift anyone can give a hard working gal. A day of self-indulgence. . . **sigh** Have fun!! Take pics so we can see the new-du. Love you, and please don't be hurt for my absent mindedness. . .as evident with the fact that I bought Landon the same book I gave him for Christmas. . . man :( its happenning already . . I'm turning into my mother!! I'm forgetting things. . .ps- don't tell her I said that! Ha :) Love you, Montse - The absent minded sister-in-law . . Montse :( Sep 10 2007
Hey Jules, just wanted to send you some birthday greetings! Can't believe how quickly time flys. I hope your year is a blessed one and filled with much love, happiness and laughter!
-Melissa Schmaltz-Poulin Sep 09 2007
Hey Julie, Happy birthday. I was going to call you but have been having what I assume is false labor all day. Hopefully your day has been better than mine. I will let you know when it is real. -Karin Herman Sep 09 2007
Happy Birthday Julie!! Hope you had a wonderful day filled with lots of love, hugs and kisses, and beautiful memories!! What a wonderful family to clean and make you a special cake! No surprise that they'd take good care of you!!
Thinking of you on your special day! Lots of love, Kristin
