Aline is HERE!!!

Aline (pronounced: uh-lean-E), our new au pair from Brazil, just arrived last night! Ben went to the airport to pick her up while I stayed home with the kids to get them ready for bed. Typically we wouldn't let them stay up past their bedtime but tonight was a very special night. Here are the kids waiting to meet Aline for the first time in person.

Now, I had every intention of filming the kids as Ben pulled in the driveway but just as I posted the above picture on Facebook he arrived. Unfortunately, this meant I didn't get the video started in time. BUMMER! It was pretty adorable to hear them chanting, "She's HERE! She's HERE! We are so excited, Mommy!" when Ben pulled into the driveway. The evening went great and the kids really enjoyed showing her their bedrooms as well as showing her, her new bedroom.

Today we took Aline downtown to see Santa Fe and the historical plaza. She enjoyed getting to see more of the city. We went to the kids favorite restaurant downtown, Il Vicino, and had a yummy lunch. Here is our first family picture (minus mommy) on the street downtown.
