A day at the park

(I love Isabel in her sunglasses!)

Yay for cooler weather! We took a trip to the park the other day and just relaxed. Isabel had fun watching Daddy fly the kite (and get it stuck in trees) and Coralie loved playing with her ball. The breeze was so cool that Cora even had to wear a sweater!

Halloween

Isabel was a fairy this year. She looked sooooo pretty, I even curled her hair and put some make up on her. How cute is she!


Of course for our little Corabear's first halloween she had to be a bear! She looked so funny with her big bear nose and belly.

This is the girls getting ready to go trick or treating.

I think Cori's belly was too big for her, she couldn't sit up in her stroller! She just layed back with her hands resting on her tummy the whole time.

Isabel and Francisco are not good picture takers, they cannot keep their eyes open!

Me and the girls (they would not cooperate! Izzy wanted to watch Dora and Cora wanted to go play.)

Since neither of our girls eat candy we let them trade it for a toy today. Isabel got a new Dora doll that comes with a big horse. There is a commercial for it on Nick Jr. and everytime it comes on she will not look away so we knew she would like it.

Coralie got this little stoller that she can push around (once she learns how) and a little baby doll to go with it. I think she likes it :)

She loves her dolly :)

Introducing Sergeant Campos

Kind of an old picture....but still a good one :)

This month Francisco got promoted to Sergeant!!! It is a very big accomplishment and the girls and I are so proud of him. He is a super hard worker and he really deserves it. Congratulations Francisco!

Corabear

This girl is growing up so fast! She loves to stand all the time and can even pull herself up sometimes.......and she is just soooo darn cute!

She also likes to chew on everything, as you can see in this video. She thought it was very funny when I told her no....of course I thought it was funny too so I wasn't being very serious about it :)




Coralie has been trying to crawl for the last two months but the poor girl just cannot figure it out. I read this funny little thing the other day called The Lifestyles of the Almost Crawling and these two totally describe what Cora has been doing. • A little backward: Baby sees a desired object, only to experience frustration when crawling moves her farther away from it. • Roll over Beethoven: Not so much crawling as a kind of blowing-tumbleweed movement from one spot to another. Sooooo funny because that is exactly what she does! But today she finally did it.....a little! Yes, I had to tease her with the remote, but it worked and she actually moved forward!

Francisco and I have been having so much fun waching Cora grow so fast and learn new things. It is a totally different experience for us because Isabel was never able to move around very much. I think we will be in shock when Coralie starts moving all over the place!

An easy way to raise money for SMA....

Anytime you need to do a search on the internet use http://www.goodsearch.com/ . Just type in families of spinal muscular atrophy or your favorite charity and then search as usual. A penny will be donated to the charity for each search. Over $4500 has been raised for SMA so far this year!

Walk-n-Roll to Cure SMA!

Once again our family will be participating in Arizona's Walk-n-Roll to cure Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Our daughter, Isabel, is affected with this disease. SMA is the number one genetic killer of infants under two and researchers are VERY close to finding a cure! Unfortunately this kind of research is also very expensive. We are doing this fund raising as a way for us to personally help our daughter, who we believe will be able to benefit from future treatments. Please help us by donating to our personal fund raising page

http://www.fsma.org/LWC/FranciscoCampos
and forwarding this information to your family and friends. Donations can also be mailed to us at 1603 E DeBruhl St Apt C Yuma, AZ 85365. Thanks to everyone for taking to the time to read this email and help us with our fund raising efforts!
With love,
Francisco, Erin, Isabel, and Coralie Campos
