A year to be thankful for!

I love this time of year. It's the one time of year that we all stop and think of what God has blessed us with. We really should be doing this daily, however many times we don't. That is one of my focuses over the next year to take time to remember who my gifts our coming from.

There are so many things I'm thankful for that it's hard to keep it to just a few.

1. Mondo and I have been blessed to both still be employed, even in this rough economy. They are even giving us Holiday bonuses, which was a nice surprise.
2. The kids have are ALL healthy and doing well.
3. I'm thankful for the wonderful husband I have. We have been married over 10 years and I love him dearly.
4. We welcomed my nephew Romeo to our family this month. He is so precious and a great reminder of the miracles that God provides us.
5. My cousin Charity (Also one of my bff) and her family is moving to AZ on December 9Th. I'm so excited that they'll be so close and that our children will grow up together.
6. This Thanksgiving weekend my cousin Amy and her fiance Randy will become husband and wife. May God bless their marriage for many more years to come. She is one of my best friends and I'm glad to see that God has blessed her with a good man. I look forward to what their future brings.
7. We had some scares this year with Mondo's parents' health. We are both thankful that his mom is healing well and that his dad is still with us for another year. Please continue to keep him in prayer and we continue the fight with his cancer.
8. We're both thankful for all the good friends and family in our life.

There are so many more, these were just a few. May God bless your family this year and may we all thank him through out the year, not just on Thanksgiving.

Welcome to the family Romeo Armando!

We are happy to introduce our new nephew Romeo Armando. Born Nov 2. 8lbs 1.5 oz. 19 inches long.

It's hard to believe that my sister-in-law, who was was 7 years old when i met her, is now starting her own family. (That's younger then what my oldest is now.) Man 13 years has gone by fast.

We had some scares, but after an emergency C-section, mom, dad & baby are all well. His cousins are so excited to meet him this weekend.

He has tons of black hair and is cute as a button.
