ABNER AND I....



Well, we are doing well. Lots of lack of time alone together hinder our communication in a lot of ways, but it has been good to have just our family in our house these last couple weeks and Abner and I have been able to spend some much needed time together as well. I truly have a loving husband, who I praise the Lord for. I know that he loves God, loves me, and loves our children, what more could I ask for.

SUSANA...THE BIG GIRL..USES THE POTTY!


Susana will be 27 months on the 31st, and is starting to talk ALOT more. She is speaking a mix between english and spanish. It's cute. Her newest accomplishment is yesterday and today she has been using the big girl potty, with only one accident so far. She is loving the praise and the skittles that she gets every time she goes. She really is growing way to fast, but truly is developing into a silly, creative, loving little girl. She has had a couple hard months with illness, cuts, etc., but praise the Lord God has pulled her through.

ABNER DANIEL...



Our little buddy will be nine months tomorrow. He has three teeth, all on the bottom and the fourth is coming in. He is a little cruiser in her walker and is only wanting to be standing up. He's a happy little guy, who we are praying will begin sleeping in his crib SOON! After all the craziness over the last couple months, some bad habits have been formed. As I type, he is on the guest bed, which works for now, but once he becomes more mobile the crib will be necessary. He is a joy.

ABNER'S FAMILY REUNION...




WHERE HAVE WE BEEN!!!

I know, I know...we have been lost! I tell people that since June 14th, life has been like a blur. We picked the Brodine family up from the airport on the 14th, Abner's family reunion started on the 15th, we left for the U.S. on the 23rd, returned on July 7th, had a few days to ourselves before the Brodine family moved back to our house for 5 weeks. Last weekend, we took them to Lidia's uncle´s house, and we are trying to get back into somewhat of a normal routine over here. The last night that Lidia and her family were here, her and I laid on the floor together in the midst of all of their lugguge and we came to the conclusion that our time together deserved a gold medal. We were blessed with their stay, we learned from each other, we laughed together, cried together, and grew together, but there were some hard times too. Just imagine, 4 kiddos under 2, with four parents. YIKES! We made it though and were blessed! Here comes some pictures....
