This sweet little guy finally decides these white girls might not be so bad after all...that's right that is him smiling at us!! Thank You LORD!!! :):):) Think his ear infections are gone and he is feeling better so he's a much happier baby since last night. Yay for us...yay for him!! 
Mr. Franciso...aka "Chubs" with the cutest dimples you have EVER seen!! 
Me and Yovani after we had read ohhhh I think 15 books the other night together on the couch! 
"Uncle Jeff" helping Francisco with his "coke in a bag." This little guy loves him and I know it wouldn't be real macho to say so but Uncle Jeff is pretty doggone taken with him too! :) 
"Tio Jose" who is an absolute hit with the boys around here. This is at Didasko the other day when we were out there to visit. He was assisting the monkey on the bars.
Jody this picture's just for you. These hooligans are LOVING your playground. What a crew...we are POOPED but are so loving having these little guys around. Makes every paint stroke and scraped floor and whatever else so worth it when you watch them crawl up into their beds at night under those sweet comforters, and play in that room with those toys, and eat in that room that was painted by hands that we love, and well just the whole thing brings so much of life into perspective. I can't wait for you all to meet them. They are awesome!! Continue to pray for all of us as we transition. The journey has begun...
This is the baby...who is about a year old. He's certainly had a rough first few days with the transition and on top of that has ear infections in both ears and isn't feeling so good. So we're learning all sorts of good things about how best to give a baby medicine, etc. Beautiful baby though, and in a few days when he feels better I am sure he will be a happier guy.
This is the big brother and he does a great job!! When we got ready to brush our teeth last night before bed he took them all in there, told them what they needed to do, then showed them, it was adorable. They listen to him well for the most part, I think he's had practice at taking care of them. Thankfully he can be a kid right now and have someone else help take care of them. He's as ornery as the day is long but such a sweet kid.
Mr. Chubs...what a sweet disposition...he has pretty much smiled the entire time, oh yeah except last night in the middle of the night when he woke Karen up 3 times. During the day he's great though!! ;) Francisco is almost 3.
mr. marvin...what an adorable kid. does this smile melt your heart or not??!! Marvin is 7 and is quite the card. today i took he and his older brother with me out to didasko to drop off some things and on the way bought them a coke and a bag of chips at the pulperia and he didn't want to open them until he got home cause he wanted to share with his other brothers that weren't with us. very tender hearted but is pushing the limits to see how much he can get away with for sure. :)
This is Mario. He is absolutely hilarious. Has a will of iron, but is so doggone funny and smiles a whole bunch. This is his first day here in his new outfit after his shower....oh and of course with gelatina in his hair cause that is supremely important here. :)
