We had yet another sweet Thanksgiving, we missed part of our family, they were in Wisconsin. The tables were... ...all set and ready. This bunch came ready and excited to dig in. Daniel is all ready. Miquel knows how to relax, put his feet up, get a drink, and the TV has football playing. Time to eat all the delicious food. A different kind of Corn bread and crab dip were new items on this year's menu. Miquel and ... Read More

As a Baptist church, we do not baptize infants as we believe they need to make their own mind up as to their belief and faith when they are of an age when they understand what it is all about. However, we do dedicate babies to the Lord and thank Him for the gift of a child. We also covenant to bring up our children under God's blessing in a Christian environment where they can thrive and come to place of ... Read More

  Saturday we had as much of the family as we could assemble for a swim/picnic day. Of course there was food. Some of us couldn't wait to dig in. Roger had the boys playing ball. Aiden has a turn at bat. I think Lois was the umpire/catcher. Relaxing by the pool is a must. Best seats to watch the kids too! Silas in his own world with Kenny's watch. Lois shows the triplets how to swim. Rubí who is very ... Read More

Christmas morning I was so fatigued from all the preparations made weeks beforehand and our late night on Christmas Eve, that I wondered how I was going to manage this day, and no matter how hard I tried, I was STILL in my pajamas when people started to arrive! At that point, I realized I HAD to get it into gear, like it or not, as we had some special things lined up, one being a bit of  a surprise for ... Read More

This year for Thanksgiving, ALL of the family was together except Miquel who had to work and Jenny who stayed home. But unlike last year Miranda and Silas were away, as a family, we were all together for at least part of the day. We had a great time, and I think Silas decided he likes Thanksgiving very much. ... Read More

Birthday parties and actual birthdays don't always match in this family. We celebrated earlier this month Silas's actual birthday, but today was his birthday party. Miranda decided to have it at Lake Waterford. Sweet for me to think the very park I took Enric and Miranda's engagement photos at, now they are there holding their 3 year old's birthday celebration. It was nothing big, just family and Silas's playmate, Cameron. First the children played at the playground section of the park. ... Read More

Today we celebrated Daniel's birthday. With some fun at the pool... Miranda walks baby Rubí around the pool... ...while Aiden does a dive belly flop into the water. Silas preferred to try out a new bike that Connor and Aiden brought. Bikes going down the hill seemed like a fun idea.... Miquel waited around for the birthday party to start. Next, to the tire swing! Then we had party time! Silas loves cake and ice cream! Yaya helps Silas with the last bite! ... Read More

Our Thanksgiving was spent at Linda and George's. Everything was perfect as usual. Anxious for food? And yes, that is Miquel sitting on poor Jenny's lap! AFTER the dinner...Jenny and Miquel look done for! Laura is sitll alive though. Some just prefer good old peanut butter and jelly! Celebrating Laura's birthday again during dessert time! The desserts.... There was lots of football too. We drove home in some interesting fog, and when we got home safely, it was another thing to be thankful for! ... Read More

This Easter was special having John here with us. First we went to church, and afterwards, we did the typical picture taking in the vestibule. Here is ( l. to r.) Miranda, Laura, and Erin. John joined in with he picture taking, and showed the girls the three beauties he took pictures of, and how it turned in with a fisheye lens. I always have to take one of Miquel and Laura together. After a trip to Dunkin Donuts, John and I went on a drive around ... Read More

Conner also enjoyed his day at the pool. He is such a happy smiley baby. And what is more fun than a wheelbarrow ride?   An after swim cuddle is nice too....     ... Read More

We had the blessing that Linda, Roger, and Kim brought Dennis, Aiden, and Conner to come spend a day at the pool with us. It's been good to watch these boys grow and thrive. Aiden is like a charging bull, but he is so much fun. He enjoyed his day and I enjoyed taking pictures of him. I think I finally have a camera fast enough to keep up with Aiden. ... Read More

Well Easter at our house is ever changing of late. We're getting kind of used to Linda and George not being here, and we have come to realize that Stacey could show up with just about anyone, but for me, this year, Miquel was truly a missing piece. However after a nice morning in church, and spending part of the early afternoon relaxing, watching Across the Universe, my neices and nephew arrived with Aiden and Conner. We had a great dinner, ... Read More

  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with mom doing an outstanding job of making the house warm, cozy, inviting, and the food amazing. The weather was unusual, as the temperature hit nearly 80 degrees! Then clouds rolled in, the wind blew, and so many of the leaves that looked like they were going to stubbornly never come down, fell - making it looked like we hadn't done any raking at all by the time people arrived. Stacey keeps making holidays different as well ... Read More
