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

This year Miranda decided to have Silas's birthday party a little early. Just like last year, it was held at Lake Waterford Park.   Perhaps I should pause here and give the reason for the "dirt" cake: A while back Silas was annoyingly and repeatingly asking for something to eat. His dad, after being very patient with him finally said, "I am going to give you DIRT to eat." This upset Silas somewhat, and after he was told it was a joke, and we all ... Read More

Everyone came to the house today and Rubí seemed to notice at once that Connor had a haircut. Not sure Connor was crazy about the extra attention. Rubi gets excited anyway. Connor just is looking less sure about Rubí's attentions, he is trying to play a video game! Oh Connor, how can you resist such a cutie! In the end, he seemed resigned to it.   ... Read More

Laura and I wanted to do something today, and thought of walking around Kinder Park in this nice weather. When we found out that Cameron had a tee ball game today, we decided to walk to the park where he was at and watch him play. When we arrived there, we found the Zenglers, their son Connor playing the opposing team as Cammy. ... 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
