A Wonderful life

photos and stuff, but mostly photos
Well, Hello...

I'm in the middle of work, but I thought I would say hello to you all! It's been a really long time since I actually wrote about what we are up to. But, since I don't have much time, I'll try to make it short and sweet. :

First, this time of year up until Christmas, is always a busy time of year for me and I always look forward to it every year. My turn over time was awesome (sometimes a day) and everything was going smoothly and my HD crashed. I have hard drives for lots of different categories. For example: SMP, Design, Digital Scrapbooking. etc. etc. etc.... Well, my design HD is the one that dies on me and I lost EVERYTHING, except one page from a wedding album. That means I had to re-do the four albums that I had already done, just waiting for approval. ugh! Luckily, I still had most of them on-line and I could go back and look at them and put the pieces back together. Right now, I am ALMOST caught up again. I have one more album to do.YAY!  I to get that done today and then I can get back to the pictures I have in the que. If you are one waiting for pictures, I am EXTREMELY sorry, and I hope have your pictures up ASAP. :)

So anyway, besides that whole stressful situations, we are doing well. Eva is loving her Spanish immersion threes school, and is always coming home with something new to say. :) Tomorrow is Grandparent's Day at school, so I think my mom and dad are going, as well as Kenton's Mom (at least for a little while). Carrie has 5 grand kids, I think, to visit. :) But she is looking forward to that. :) I was a helper in her class and it was really fun! Very busy, since out of 15 kids, I think 10 were boys. :) Isabel is doing well too. She recently had foot doc appointment, 'cause she has flat feet, and they are talking aboutmaking shoe inserts for her. I did not know that those inserts were expensive! WOW! Our insurance is ok and they pay 80%. I thought great, I can pay the $50-$100 or whatever. NO, it will cost us $325. Which would not be a big deal if they could grow with her, but they don't. So, like shoes, when her foot out grows them, she needs new inserts. Man!! They also talked about maybe surgery in about a year or 2 also. We'll see how that all shakes out. Lucia is going great. She has started to eat baby food and rice cereal now. She has just started to roll over , and loves to try to sit up. She scoots across the floor, but not the normal way. Nope, she scoots across the floor in her back! I have NEVER seen anything like it. Eva and I were in tears laughing the other night because it looks so funny!! :) She is a very happy girl, most of the time, and she is such a joy! Dino is doing well. Not much has changed with him. He tried SO hard to retrieve whatever he could from that stinkin' hard drive, but it was gone. He is so wonderful! I don't know what I would do without him! He is my "cheerleader" for everything I do. :)He will be going on another far away business trip soon, and I am not looking forward to that. If you remember, please kepp him in your prayers!

Ok, here are some random pictures....

 Ok, that is it for now. I have tons more, but gotta get back to work. :) Have a great day everyone!

Your girls are getting so big... expecially Isa!  I'm sorry you lost so much on your HD and had to redo so much, so frustrating when you are caught up and moving quickly I'm sure!  Love the girls costumes and the vivid processing on the pics!

Those pics are unbelievable.  You have the most beautiful girls and I'm not just saying that because I am their aunt.  I just LOVE their cuteness.  And Lucia's cheeks are just adorable.  :)
