Tia Rosa

Two weekends ago we had another special visitor, Tia Rosa (Ricardo's aunt). She is Aldo's mother so it was fun to see each of them one weekend after another. She was in town for business so she came over for dinner on Saturday and we had a great time. We enjoyed a nice dinner together and then made s'mores at the fireplace. Diego and Alexia really enjoyed her company and spent a lot of time discovering all the tricks of her iphone :) She brought Diego a Mcqueen shirt, vest and jacket set so he was thrilled!!

I think Tia Rosa and Alexia are pretending to blow the fire

Ricardo carved a pumpkin with them that weekend and at first, Diego did not want to touch it. He wanted to hold the top (as shown in the above photo) and let Ricardo do all the scooping.

But of course, Alexia dug right in and was all about scooping the slimy seeds out. Diego eventually warmed up to the idea and pitched in to help.

We took care of a friend's daughter last week and the kids LOVED her. It was so cute to see how they treated her like their little sister and worked as a team to make sure she was happy and entertained. Please pray for Abby today. She is in California on vacation with her parents and she had a seizure yesterday. After being released from the hospital with no answers, she had another seizure and was transferred to a specialty hospital where she has undergone countless tests today. She has now been released and they still have no answers as to why she had these seizures. Please pray that it was an isolated case and that she will continue to be a healthy and happy baby girl.

When Asher's mom dropped him off last week she said he had to finish up some schoolwork. He was so sweet and sat on the couch and read his book out loud to the kids.
