Blog Famine is OVER!

For the past couple of weeks, we have had some internet issues that have prevented me from blogging, uploading photos, etc. on any kind of regular basis.  Therefore, I have a back log of blogs that I wanted to post, but - in reality - probably never will because I can barely keep up with life as it is.  Therefore, I am going to hit some highlights from the last month.  Hello, random, it's nice to see you again.

For starters, Annabellita turned 2!

And as sweet as she is

We're beginning to also see a lot of this

accompanied by this

Let the good times roll . . . 

and kick . . . and scream!

Okay, moving on . . . .

We got a new puppy to go with our other dog, 

Oreo, who was oh so lonely.  

Introducing Snickers 

(a.k. a. Snicky, snick-a-licious, snickster)

Yes, these little dogs are a far cry 

from the gentle giants we used to have.

Just so you know

 Jon prefers a sturdier dog . . . .

Somewhere along the way our cat had a litter of kittens.

2 of which we donated to 

the  tool shed to 

keep the rat population down.

Can I get an "Amen!"?

We had friends visit from 

Sagemont Church in Pearland, TX, 

who are looking to bring 

a short term mission team to

 to bless 

the surrounding community.

It was so energizing to have them around, 

and we are totally pumped about future visits.

Ummm, oh yes, 

Mamacita represented the U.S.A. 

in a celebration of countries

that her school, JCS, 

puts together every year.

Don't be fooled by the blue eyes and golden locks,

her escort, Marcos, is  Dominican!

Doesn't he just look like he stepped 

out of a GAP ad?

AND, she danced the merengue with 

her second grade class! So adorable!

Can I just say the music was REALLY loud!?

Okay, this event 

- JCS Dia de la Raza- 

could have been

one blog all by itself. 

Check out the slideshow for 

more pics of that one. 

Then there's just the normal, 

everyday stuff  . . . . 

perhaps in another post -soon!
