We all have been so busy so we have tried to get together for family dinner more often. It's hard with me managing a company and Otani trying to be media Magnante. I just feel that we are losing precious years of our Quads growing up.

Otani agrees and he and Ismir have decided to play more outside. He tries to get Angel and the boys to go out and play games.

Now that just leaves Otani and myself. We are so busy with Quads and now he has said that he wants to get his masters. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell him that I too wanted to get my bachelors. I said it and Otani thought it would be too much. I admit that it hurt me when he said this to me.

But in the end he said he thought it would be a great idea. I just hope that we are both going to make it through this rough patch that is coming up.

Otani thought that there was no time like the present to get started on our degrees.

He began to study after work and it was hard for him and me.

Some days I would try to lure him away from his studies with food but he said he would eat later. I on the other hand took a more slower approach to my degree.

In the end we both knew that we had to put time aside for the kids. Sure we want our degrees but we also want the kids to know that we are there for them no matter what.

Its so cute seeing Otani bond with Sergio. I think we will be OK.
