Easter @ Benavides Ranch

Easter at the Benavides Ranch was much quieter than usual. This is probably due to the fact that the majority of us got together the night before for a BDay party/dinner for Tia Mamie (her and Grandpa share BDays, April 11). Nevertheless, we had a good time. Vic BBQed a brisket (estillo Aaron Trejo/Central Texas style) and Grace and her primas had a small Easter Egg Hunt.

Below is Grace and Shelley cracking a cascarone on primo Frank.


Mom bring's Genna back from the Easter Egg Hunt out in Momo's front yard.

Grace continues to be amazed by the cascarones.

Genna was having fun with a toy given to her by Tia Becca.

Pre-Easter celebration at the Day Care

The Casas girls all attend the pre-Easter celebration and Egg Hunt at Grace's day care

Genna...happy and smiling like always -- she is such a happy baby!

Grace, finishing up the Eater Egg Hunt -- check'n her stash.


Grace plays guitar?!

Grace and pulls out of her pink guitar to jam with Dad.


Then Grace decides she wants the jam on Dad's guitar! Check out that chord...looks like some "A" or "C" slide scale.

Oh yeah...and Sis is jam'n in the background. Here's a close up of Genna.

A few more pics from Grace's Bday

Grace (eating a PB&J sandwich) and Genna (on Grace's new Dora car - from Grandpa and Laura)

Yup...She's got her finger in his eye! Ozo is a really laid back cool dog...just don't sneak up on him if he doesn't know you.

Grace on Ozo like a horse!

Update on Genevieve & move to CC

Howdy ya'll - sorry it's been a while..we've been VERY busy.

Genevieve is doing great. She was given the OK to leave the hospital on Saturday...but Shelley and I, along with a ton of help (those thanks will come later in another post), were moving all our junk from 7101 Lilac Ln, 78745 to CC, TX, 78412.

We rented a HUGE 26 foot truck, literally filled it up to the TOP...and I STILL had to get another 5x8 trailer the next day to pick up the last minute stuff.

Shelley and I "roomed in" at the hospital on Sunday night and we brought Genevieve to CC, TX on Monday night.

Feel free to email me directly for our new mailing address.

Graciela is doing great - if I have time later this week I'll post the video of her when she first met her baby sister.

We close on the house this Friday -- everything seems to be going good...so let's keep your prayers up and hope everything goes through just fine.

We still have about 50 boxes pilled up in our game room here in CC, TX -- so we have a lot of work to do...that and our grass is higher than Chata! So I have some mowing to do...

Bueno...I'll try to post some pics later this week...

peace out,

still no pics...however, baby is good!

Sorry guys...the pics are just a bit too private to publish on the web. In the NICU it's just not the same as if the baby is in your room or in the nursery...so ya'll are gonna have to wait! :)

If I take a good one that I just HAVE to share...this will be the first place I publish it.

A good update though - Genevieve is doing very good. She started eating normal (breast milk) food today. She seems to be doing really well in both our eyes and the nurses' & doctors' eyes. Still no ETA on when she'll go home...but Shelley has been officially discharged. She and I will be going home tomorrow.

I'll do my best to keep ya'll posted via the blog...for now...I have to go wash some dishes (long story...and unless you've had a baby...you would have no idea what I mean...so anyway).

Gotta run...peace out ya'll,

Sorry no new pics...I'll try tomorrow

Day 2 -- Genevieve is doing great ya'll. She's still in the NICU, but she's "borderline" on being considered a "premature baby" versus a normal "newborn" -- according to her nurse this evening.

I'm sorry I don't have any pics today -- I had so much family and friends come by today -- thank you all for the gifts and well wishes! Thank you Shari, Dad (Vic Jr), and Laura for the nice gifts. Thank you Becca for bringing my lovely mother and all the rest of the clan.

I was so busy entertaining folks that Shelley and I hardly had more than 15 minutes to nap and only about 20 minutes together with Genevieve.

I hope and plan to get some good pics tomorrow and I promise to post as soon as I get a chance.

We're still unsure as to "when we'll get outta here" -- but I'll keep ya'll posted.

Peace out,
~Vc3

Why Genevieve (pronounced Jenna-Veev) Maria? We like Jenna...but we thought Genevieve was more unique. Maria is after my grandmother, Maria Casas :)

[Sorry - pic was taken down - we'll post more when we get out of the hospital]
