Last minute we signed Rune up to play #kidssoccer Last minute we signed Rune up to play #kidssoccer and today was his first game. He did really well at dribbling and kicking but got overwhelmed by all the kids getting close to him and trying to kick the ball. Tears were shed and hand balls were a plenty. I’m not even sure if his team won or not but it was adorable yet hilarious to watch these little guys. Shout out to lil miss Natalie who scored the most goals and ran circles around the boys.  Will Rune give soccer another try? Stay tuned for next week when the Clawson Puppies play again xoxo.#clawsonmichigan  #clawsonsoccer Also, thanks to both sets of grandparents for attending! After the game we got some Pokémon toys for Rune at @noblefishsushi and ate burgers and chicken strips @detroitburgerbar Also, #gogreen 😍🥳

Lola is the cutest lil stinker. She does what she Lola is the cutest lil stinker. She does what she wants. She climbs everything. When she is done eating, we have to be fast or else she throws her food on the floor. She karate chops her brother. She already knows how to punch without being taught. But when she wraps her arms around me and calls me “pretty mama” I know she’s really an angel sent from above👼

Gemma is settling in at home and we are taking tim Gemma is settling in at home and we are taking time to rest and relax after family visited. We are getting Rune ready to start kindergarten which sounds crazy. My maternity leave winds down in September so I want to enjoy the time I have left and plan some fun activities.  Everything revolves around breastfeeding/pumping which is actually going really well. It took my body having 3 kids to figure it out. 🤷🏼‍♀️ yay me! #newbaby
Yahoo Baby Gemma is home!! She still has a feeding Yahoo Baby Gemma is home!! She still has a feeding tube in but that’s ok!  She stayed up the first half of the night adjusting to her new home so I’m very tired but happy. Lola adores her and Rune is being very nurturing because he wants to be a good big brother. All in all it’s pure chaos but once we get into a new routine, things will settle down! #newbaby

Update on baby Gemma! It’s been about six weeks Update on baby Gemma! It’s been about six weeks since Gemma was born and she is still in the #nicu. We have seen babies half her size leave faster. Last week Paul, Marge (Paul’s mom) and I took turns feeding baby Gemma all day and all night for four days and nights at the hospital in hope that we would reach the feeding requirements to bring her home. We almost did it but Gemma wasn’t gaining the weight she needed to go home so we put her feeding tube back in and are giving it more time. Rune told his teachers at school that Gemma couldn’t go home because she has too many nipples and that they have  to remove them first. Ha! He must have heard us talking about “nippling” since that’s what the nurses call her feeding, and formed his own conclusions.  He also told Paul that Gemma wouldn’t be able to ride a bike since she has “no legs” which was assumed since she is always in a swaddle😅 The good news is that Gemma is slowly being able to drink more, and so far additional testing hasn’t found any physical issues responsible for the developmental delay nor expect her to have other issues. 🌈

Rune is a curious boy. This week he has wanted to Rune is a curious boy. This week he has wanted to know how many octopuses exist in the world. Do trees grow all the time? How do you know if something is alive? How was I made? When does Lola turn into a boy?  What food do ants eat? His brain is always working at full blast so he will either wear his teachers out or they will love him❤️ #precocious #boymom

    An Interview with Jessica Hernandez of Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas!

    October 11, 2014 / 0 Comments

    By Alexis Simpson We attended Riot Fest in Chicago last month, and were excited to see that Jessica Hernandez was performing there. We have seen her perform many times in Detroit, once in Orlando, and now Chicago. Jessica is a favorite of mine and one of the few artists I listen to week after week. She’s soulful, bohemian, and has a superb voice. I want everybody to know about her! Her album “Secret Evil” just came out, and she is currently on tour with St. Paul and The Broken Bones. We got the chance to do a quick Q & A with her to catch up. Also, at the end of the…

    By Alexis Simpson Detroit music lovers eagerly awaited Jessica Hernandez & the Delta’s performance this past Friday. This was Jessica’s first big local show since signing with Blue Note Records/EMI, and fans expected to hear some of the new material the band has been working on for the upcoming album. As a young singer/songwriter/artist, Jessica Hernandez is a blossoming talent in charge of her own image, musical style and career. This isn’t surprising since Ms. Hernandez comes from an entrepreneurial family that runs the successful Armando’s Mexican Restaurant and Mexicantown Bakery in Southwest Detroit. Before signing her record deal, Ms. Hernandez raised eyebrows when she cancelled her first meeting with Blue Note…

    Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas Play at Orlando Calling Festival 11/12/11 (Photos)

    November 15, 2011 / 0 Comments

    Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas traveled from Detroit to play at the Orlando Calling festival last weekend. The group put on a vibrant performance that generated a lot of positive buzz throughout the festival. Local Detroiters can find the group performing at various venues around the city. One of the best places to see them perform is at The Bakery Loft above The Mexicantown bakery. Jessica’s family owns both Armando’s Mexican Restaurant and The Mexicantown Bakery. Another interesting fact about Jessica is that she makes her own performance outfits! http://Jessicahernandez.net http://twitter.com/#!/DetroitJess http://myspace.com/jhernandezmusick http://jessicahernandezthedeltas.bandcam… http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/jessica-… http://www.purevolume.com/JessicaHernandez http://www.reverbnation.com/jessicaherna… Here are a few bonus pictures from Jessica’s performance at the Detroit Music Awards!
