Isabel is here posing in her Christmas Dress in Nina & Nino's home. We were able to stay here for our majority of our vacation. It wasquietand LOUD, full ofACTION with Isaac, Marcelina, Nathaniel, Olivia & Isabel running about. Boss & Sunny even enjoyed us there we could tell by the way they were barking telling us what to do and how to do it! Thank you Monica & Lujan for allowing us to stay, it was great fun. Craziness is what vacation is all about although we didn't have much. Just the usual Nathaniel couldn't wait to be around Isaac and than within minutes of laughing Nathaniel crying and back into the mix again. Isabel thinks she's just a little bit older playing with the girls and following the boys. She tumbled off Isaac's bed...YES, yes...I know. I even made a barrier and again she did, talk about feeling bad about falling asleep! 2 times with a fat lip we managed to keep her secured the next couple of nights although she still managed to have lots of laughter and fun with all of her cousins. Thanks Isaac, Marcelina & Olivia for sharing your room with us...we really do appreciate it. So this is the only moment that our two little ones dressed up and posed for a few pictures before Nathaniel being the lil 5 1/2 year old he is wanting to get into "cool" clothes with his skater/roller shoes that Santa brought. They are more like moon shoes with roller skate bottoms vs. Heely's he wanted although only we know the difference. The picture came out a bit dark although my camera was on the fritz so I am thankful for my cell phone which does rather well, I must say. Right before we left while Nathaniel & Isaac were playing with their Lego's assembling them Monica & I started some unfinished baking. He.He.Ha.Ha My orbitz didn't turn out like they were supposed, more like deer poo! The filling was great, though! Monica's fudge was in the works while we headed out. Lujan & Monica enjoyed the Lego's while the children watched and couldn't wait for the finished product! They turned out great while Olivia shared her Dora's Cashiering Setup with Marcelina and Isabel. Running all over playing while listening to Marcelina's Bratz movie was pretty great. All the comotion and craziness made it even better! So, all of us went as a family to the movies which was quite a task. Isabel normally doesn't sit well through the movies unless asleep well we found her pal, POPCORN! Chet and the boys headed to see another one and ended up back at Nana's for fun of their own. James, Myself, Nathaniel, Isabel, Monica, Olivia, Nana, Grandpa, JoAnn, Joey, Maranda, Niki, Grace & Jamie we all got to enjoy a great movie. Suprisingly to me viewing the movie withouth preview it was AWESOME! Great memories again THANK YOU Monica, Lujan, Isaac, Marcelina & Olivia for sharing your home with us and making us feel like we were home.

Footprints in the Sand!
Footprints Poem
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way, however I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there was only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

The Road Not Taken...
The Road Not Taken by: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the tother, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy ans wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference.
