Roy and I are with child again. Haha, doesn't that sound so formal? "With child." In the midst of Rico's wild attempts to pull himself up and make his first steps, while I'm trying to keep up with his incredibly fast crawling, I have to keep in mind - I'll have to do this all over again. I feel such indescribable joy in being a mother. Even better, my loving husband shares in responsible of our active son. Rico really is precious, and I hope he will be a good brother to this little one. Hey, I'm rooting for a girl this time! :D Haha. Comments

Roy and I lay, side by side in bed, his warm arms around me, my head against his chest. Rico was fast asleep, after spending the day at uni with me. Yet, just as Roy and I were about to doze off, a cry came from the nursery. I began to get up, but I heard Roy say, "I'll get him." He smiled at me and left the bedroom. I lay there, listening to Rico's cries. His crying stopped. I could hear Roy's soft speech as he made his way to the living room. I waited... things were so quiet. Then I went to the living room as well. And there is was... such a perfect sight to cast my eyes on. Roy sat reclined on the couch, Rico in his arms, greedily sucking down the formula from his baby bottle. Rico held his bottle with his little hands, looking up at his daddy with his big blue eyes while Roy talked to him. I just watched them for a while longer. A smile touched my lips and I returned to bed, dreaming sweet dreams about my boys, able to get some rest. I love my man and my little man. Comments
#1. Aww, He drinking formula now!! Alexia Carter #2. Oh yes, he has a tooth! It was time for weaning!!! Rosa Rosewell-Barthel I remember this time last year, I planned to rush to New York for the birth of my best friend's baby. Well... that didn't quite work out. He was born before I could even purchase my plane ticket. But he really is a sweetheart.
His mum should be proud of him. Happy Birthday, little Gabe! I'll give you a present next time I see you! At last, we're on our way back to London! Oh how I've missed my hometown and my friends who live there. I'm a bit nervous to head back, because currently one of my friends is there but... I heard she's been wandering around the town. Like she's not in her right mind, or she's losing guidance. It makes me sad to think about it, but I'll try to make the best of things.
They say laughter is the best medicine. Is it possible to laugh when you're feeling sad? Is faking laughter the same as actually doing it? Eh, anyway, on the bright side, America was fun. Driving across the country was an experience to remember. At the hotel last night, I could've sworn that my little Rico started crawling, but I think my eyes are deceiving me. He's still a bit young for that... I better keep my eyes on him. Here I am at Shania's wedding. What a beautiful bride she is! Aww, what a happy occasion. :D
Between yesterday and today, Roy, Rico and I have been on the road. We travelled from Amsterdam to London, to NY, Nashville and at last we're here in LA. Being on the road gave me a lot of time to think. Rico was asleep for most of the ride. When I got to LA, I paid a visit to the Forever Jazz club, sat at the bar for a while and kept thinking... I got to the hotel and there was so much on my mind. It was late by the time I got back to the suite. Roy was asleep with Rico dozing on his chest. It was so sweet watching my two princes so peaceful. I can't help but think... I got so lucky... I met the love with my life, got married, had a baby. And we ARE happily married. Rico is a good boy. He loves us, we love him. I love the entire family. Kristel and John and the kids. Jonnie and Melissa. Little Roxanne... I have great friends: Angel and Romy are always willing to talk. Then there's Karlee and Shania, Duncan and Gabriel... soon I get to meet Rommie and Danny in person... It's like as close to perfect as like can possibly be. Yet, there's a dark cloud just looming over my lately. My heart cries for my friends who are going through so much sorrow. For my friends who can't seem to find someone, who can't settle down. For my friends who just aren't happy. For those who have become inactive, and have died. I feel like the word is on my shoulders... yet... I feel so lucky to have all that I have. I am happy but... I want everyone to be happy too... Comments
#1. aww...rommie and i can't wait to meet you too sweety. and your a wonderful friend, to care like that. but you should be happy and concentrate on your family that's what's important love. Daniel Jackson #2. Thanks Danny! :) I concentrate on my family most of the time... but when it's quiet, like at night, and everyone's gone to sleep... I remember the sadness. Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #3. stupid limit..lol...but your friends know you love them, and that's all that matters, sadness comes and goes, but love of a friend stays forever..just remind them that. big hugs love your friend Danny Daniel Jackson #4. jinx..lol..didn't finish before you wrote..heehee..and ya, that's the bad part bout night..easier to think of sad things..if that makes sense? Daniel Jackson #5. haha, "stupid limit." And yup, that makes sense. Sad thoughts are like the boogeyman hiding under the bed, waiting to hop out at nighttime. That was a pitiful analogy wasn't it? Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #6. lol...actually seemed fitting..i couldnt' think of an analogy better than that.. Daniel Jackson #7. Cool, I can't think of a better one either. That's why I used that one. haha... but really, it's annoying. Rosa Rosewell-Barthel Well, my little Rico will soon be 5 months old and it's the first time I'm officially travelling with him. Well... he was born in Paris and we travelled to Amsterdam to spend time with the family. That's about it though. I think I'm a bit too overprotective of my boy. Maybe because he's my first child. Maybe I'll be a little more relaxed next time. In a few days, my friend Shania is getting married in LA. Which means I get to see the Americas! :) Rico gets to see NY, Nashville and LA. Then my other friend, Rommie, is geting married in Seattle. How exciting! Comments
#1. awww i toured with my Mom all the time as a kid..had a blast..p good luck..and hopn your comn to my weddn? hugs shania..now there's a cool name.. Andromeda Arzalluz #2. I hope Rico has as much fun as you did touring with your mom. And yup, of course I'm coming to your wedding. :D (and Shania is a cool name). :) Rosa Rosewell-Barthel Hey, today is New Year's Eve... which means it's also my birthday. I totally forgot. haha. Well then, everyone - Happy New Year!!! Hmm... if I take time to reflect on the past year, I can safely say that it was a good year overall. There were some sad moments along the way, but I survived. :) I hope this coming year is even better! Comments
#1. Happy New Year... and happy birthday! <333 Sofia Stoner #2. Thank you! Happy new year to you too! :D <3 Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #3. Year 54 will be a great year! :) Sofia Stoner #4. Oh, I love your optimism!! That's a great thought! :) Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #5. Believing it will be worse isn't a tempting thought... so we better think positive. :) Sofia Stoner #6. You're right about that! :D Well I'm happy to hear you talking so positively. :) Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #7. *laughs* I've got my positive moments in life. :) Sofia Stoner #8. Everyone needs positive moments every once in a while. *smiles* Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #9. Hey Rose! Happy *hic* birthday!

Roy Barthel #13. hehe, Thank you Kristel! And thank you, honey! Love you too! xxxx Rosa Rosewell-Barthel #14. happy b-day! ^^ Evangelina Renato #15. Thank you, Eva! ^_^ Rosa Rosewell-Barthel Yay! John and Kristel are married again. I'm so happy. I've been really hoping that they would get back together. They're just meant for each other. I'm glad that I was a witness to this declaration of their love. The wedding was beautiful. I'm glad that Rico's diaper bag had lots of tissues. They came in handy. :D
It was absolutely wonderful seeing the entire family again. I even hung out with Jonnie and Melissa. I even met her new baby (my niece, hehe). My hubby got drunk during the reception, but that lead to quite an interesting night. When we got home.... well, never mind... Congratulations John and Kristel! I wish you many happy years together! My son is quite the prince charming... and he's only 3 months. haha. He's just like his father (I remember that's what I used to call my Roy). Finally, Rico has met his grandma Kristel and his grandpa. He loves playing with his little aunts and uncles. He especially likes Leyla but he pulls Saphirra Tiara's hair. He even has friends already. He's already grinning at little Christine, who's just a couple of weeks. hehe. It's so cute. I love my little man... and my big man too. Comments
