The Cuz

Another highlight of our Acapulco trip was spending time with the Abuelos, cousins and everyone at the Home there. Justin got to meet 'the cuz' (Aaron) who is exactly 1 month older than him & using telepathy promised him to come visit again when he's older so they can play together.

Proud Daddies!

Happy Mommies!

Meeting 'the cuz'.

Dad's prayers have been answered & Justin is getting a darker skin color (though he was very white when he was first born). He really is my little 'brownie'.

Aaron: "I swear I didn't pinch him Mom! He just started screaming for no reason."

The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins.

Visiting Ruth

Daniel & Ruth flew to Acapulco for a week of vacation & the Lord worked it out for us to go see them. Yay! Though we were only there for a few days we had a great time; Chris & the kids took them to our favorite beach in Acapulco & we were all able to have breakfast together. We really enjoyed seeing Ruth & little Shia (though she was safely hidden away the entire time), meeting Daniel & hanging out together.

Such a tiny, beautiful belly. (She's 7 months pg already, please pray for the baby to turn as she's in a breech position right now.)

We had a nice brunch all together. Our table had a great view of the ocean.

Yup, he's got scrunched lips.

The kids loved Daniel & were very awed by the whole sign language experience.

It was tough, but by keeping the baby's socks on & a watchful eye on Ruth we managed to keep her from biting his toes.

Ruth had her camera so we tried to get some nice family pics which I'll post as soon as she emails them.

My little boys.

Our little brownies.

Thank you so much Ruth & Daniel, for making it possible for us to come see you and all you did for us while we were there. We love you and miss you already!

Acapulco vacation with the kids

Thanks to the Lord and a wonderful friend who provided 2 comfortable apartments we were able to spend 7 happy days vacationing in Acapulco. We had so much fun! We spent time at the beach, got to visit the 'abuelos' & cousins, met the newest addition to our family, relaxed and enjoyed the week.

Even though I am 8 months pg, the trip wasn't so tiring as Chris worked overtime to make sure I got enough rest. He took over with the kids most of the day so I could enjoy the beach and then drove the singles we went with out at night so they could enjoy a little nightlife. He must've been so tired but he never complained! I have the best husband ever! I love you Honey! Thank you!

Fun at the beach!

Ben showing off his slimy snail. Daddy & Lily collected a whole bunch to use for projects at Home. They also found lots of small jellyfish in the water which was cool as we'd never seen one before.

Lily lost a tooth at the beach and asked if the fairy would let her ride a horse instead of put something under her pillow, ha.

The kids were able to ride the horses every time we went to the beach & they loved it! We even took their 4 cousins with us to the beach one day and a sweet man let all the kids ride for free. He gave Chris & I the reins and let us take the kids for a walk. So nice!

Fat belly on the beach!

Yup, I got a lot of stares but people were really nice and even complimented me for being out on the beach with such a big belly, heh.

A very nice man whom we'd met last year let us use his tents for shade, tables & chairs, boogie boards, brought us fresh coconuts and let the kids ride his horses all for free every time we went.

One day daddy took the singles to the beach without the kids and ended up getting a very good deal on a ride on one of these cool contraptions that I have no idea what they're called. He said it was a blast! Julie went on it as well and I'm posting her pic cuz I don't have one of Chris.

Daddy's foolishness.

Last year we met a very nice lady who owns an apartment that overlooks the beach. We hung out with her again this year and the kids had so much fun at the pool.






Daddy being a monkey.

Like father, like daughter.



My beautiful babies!

And you just have to agree with me that he is the handsomest of all the handsome ones out there!
