I wanted to get pictures done in a familiar yet beautiful location with the kids. It was a lot of fun and work! But when I look at these pics even the ones that didn't make the holiday card, I just think to myself how much I love my family.<br />

We took many walks in our neighborhood just looking at all the spooky decorations. People go all out where we live. In fact Marin County holds many fall festivals and Halloween events right before the big day. A week before Halloween I decided to take some pictures of the kids wearing different costumes before they outgrew some of their old costumes.<br />

Lately I've been thinking that I need to document of some of their crazy antics because I am so forgetful. I made these capes for them over spring break and they love to wear them. Isela likes to run around the house yelling, "I'm a supa hero!". Max likes to wear it to the park or when he's riding his bike.</div>

Northern california is so beautiful. I really love where we live. It does take a little longer to cool down than in states with all four seasons but the good thing is that it is not as cold or confining as the snow. <br />
Although it has been cooling down we have still been very active. I love being outdoors and I am fortunate that my city has many trails for me to explore.<br />

Last cool thing about this Fall is I found more trails! First time I tried to go Max freaked out about mountain lions and rattle snakes. I told him about the possible dangers so he was informed about running off by himself or poking around in those holes in the ground but it ended up scaring him. Hence, our first attempt at the new trails was a FAILURE. We can back again with Blair because he is a big strong daddy and no lion would go up against a daddy haha. Anyways we soon found out that there are so many poeple on these trails it is unlikely we would encounter anything dangerous.</div>

<em>Comet 8 1/2 weeks. Her ears weren't sticking up yet.</em></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
Max learned how to draw pictures over the summer. He started drawing pictures of us and then he moved onto drawings of a dog who he named Comet. He just kept talking about this dog Comet who would be his "doggy friend". After going to many rescues and having no luck we ended up finding a <strike>backyard</strike> breeder who had just had their first litter of white german shepherd puppies. We drove two hours to Sacramento to "look" at the puppies and of course walked away with Comet. <br />

<em>After a few days of getting her, her ears perked up. Here she is trying to sleep with her "littermates".</em></div>
There were two puppies left and the kids were running around and playing with them. Max came to me and whispered in my ear that one of them had given him a hug and that he wanted to take that one home. So we did! I held the puppy in my arms as we drove home and we shared our first bonding experience when she became car sick and threw up on me. Not very fun then but funny now :).<br />

<em>Still small enough to sit with us on our laps. On our way to Target and Petco for socialization.</em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Since then life has been amusing, hectic and frustrating at times. Its hard to raise two small kids with a puppy around. Now that I have the hang of it I like it. You know how when you have a newborn your life revolves around their nap schedule, well for me it kind of revolves around Comet's play schedule. Whats great about it is that I get plenty of excercise. I have a companion with me when we take the kids to the park and that when she is tired she is a cute cuddle bug. Whats not so great about it is when she doesn't get enough exercise she gets bored and she chews up our shoes, clothes, trash, door mat, dead grasshoppers, hands, toes and basically anything that will fit in her mouth. But she keeps my life interesting and I have met a ton of people because of her. We have a doggy playgroup we go to every night. We have made friends with other herding dogs and go on trails. We had the chance to meet an Irish fellow who let Comet become familiar with horses and let Max sit on this beautiful horse. It was awesome. The kids are learning (slowly) to care for something. We teach them to think of her feelings and wants and to be gentle and loving. We have been to some beautiful places because of her. Rodeo Beach is a dog beach, Indian Valley Trail is for hikers, mountain bikers, dog people, and horse back riding. We love Comet and are so happy to have her in our lives. I never would have thought that I would love a dog like I love Comet. I actually wish the kids weren't around sometimes just so I could explore some more advance hikes and do other cool activities like flyball, agility...even just to watch her do what she was bred to do: herd sheep.<br />

Its been a long time since my last post. Here's a brief summary: We moved to Novato, Ca which is in the north bay part of San Francisco. Its about 20 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. At first we were excited to be in our new area and its totally beautiful up here. We have made some great friends too. </div>
<div>
Well its been a rough few weeks for me lately. Its been a long time since I've been nostalgic about my family. I just wish my mom were alive and that my sister were here with me. Sometimes I just feel really alone and that I don't have anyone to share my feelings with. I love my grandmother and am very close to her but I don't want to worry a 99yr. old with my problems. I think about the times I would have wished to have my mom with me like when I was getting married and when I had my kids. Those are moments I'll always wonder what it would have been like with my mom around.</div>
<div>
Not having a husband around doesn't help either haha. I think thats the main culprit for my "lonely" feelings. We hardly ever have dinner together, he has only one day off a week. His hours are crazy, I'm talking from 5 am to 9 pm. Next month his schedule gets crazier because aside from his working hours he is on call everyday of the month except for two days. This schedule drives me insane! I can't plan for anything. No time for myself, can't take any classes, can't have any cool family outings because he might get called in or he does get called in and our plans are cancelled.</div>
<div>
On top of that I think my kids have been picking up on all these stress vibes because they are irritable and edgy. </div>
<div>
So with all this I decided to take the three of us to our stake's Temple Day. It was the best thing I could do for myself. They had activities for the kids and a devotional. I was able to do a session and some other stuff which was cool. A friend of mine received her endownments that day and that was inspiring and uplifting. I left feeling refreshed and renewed.</div>

Now she likes to say Sacha Sacha whenever we talk about cats.</div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581916348637600530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjckdW8nbSxGw4DlSRQHCMlXC3nsnXtwvdOyzcEcCJg9Sp5FOd4dsVidQLbf-uSzxbcoM8g-WIRZsan79GVs3onh1VHBaC6jkzSPj12VW8qilfo0a32zzW73Xw3zMTsLpre3jxTnrRw3hM/s320/utah+2011+031.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581916344115252098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixgsJdBa6XGDRwU-JTuY08TB68y_mjs0F6iv3JAecmD6JUBDBI2jI9vo5NEA12B8z5oPTFSnortUEjIKXk9qF_wrM8SGOxZL7zCTXyMyTXg0UzaBifid08Vzlra7CTXBPqiqU0SMLEQg8/s320/utah+2011+033.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div>Today however tops all her shenanigans. Max and Isela were so cute and innocent when they came down that I couldn't get mad at them. I just had to laugh. Max and Isela had gone up to their Nana's room to visit like they always do. Only problem was is that I didn't know that she wasn't there. Isela grabbed hold of the markers and went to town on all the walls. But Max had an even better idea. He saw some scissors that looked exactly like the scissors the hairdresser used on him the day before (his first professional hair cut.) He decided to give Isela a hair cut, <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">a really bad hair cut.</span></strong> They came down the stairs together and Max very innocently tells me how Isela's hair was getting long, so long that it was getting past her ears. And he thought he would help by giving her a hair cut just like his. </div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581916342205082322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN4crtU3G49085K-B76iFpjwDMRO2F3Qw6h_JkZY4sXpdC9QzLFgu-Bag1vgksIQO4Busq4ebVYHnAD5vJHEr04ydz4C5LNkEnGN2ZyXcOKLQJVgE1pASLuVajAeR_ZctDppJJan7Y1hg/s320/utah+2011+037.JPG" /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581916338379975474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxDEPydydartFNRNi6fei7p6i7gbCO7VyAT5YQGSJ8Opp0l3r527GLFJaPdqHbtYmyHrWYVVYtjw84qkKF8s1aU0UGQ3zSIqYsR0SpqsC-V3AKm_qtb5H7_zPJs0U2W0sNumd9cTArVFg/s320/utah+2011+038.JPG" />Isela has no clue of what happened. I can imagine her sitting perfectly still with a smile on her face as her big brother carefully clipped off huge chunks of hair. The back looks the worse. It looks like someone took a weed wacker to her hair. Afterwards we spoke sternly to Max about how you don't use scissors without our permission and we gave some examples of hurting someone's eye with scissors. To which he replied, "Good thing we have two eyes." I tried not to laugh as Blair explained that we wanted to keep both our eyes.</div><div> </div><div>Well now I'm off too look for some hats for Isela because I've decided that we will not shave her head.

We were accompanied by my brother in law and his family along with their friends from Texas. After moving out of our apartment in Philly we drove straight to Dallas, Texas. I spent a week with my sister in law but we didn't get to do any sight seeing. Unfortunately the freezing temperatures seemed to have followed us down there. It got so cold in Dallas it was in the teens plus all the roads were icy. Luckily the weather cleared up just time for the cruise. I drove down to Galveston, Texas where we met up with the rest of our party.<br /><br />We took a 7 night cruise to the carribean. We stopped at Montego Bay, Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel, Mexico. We sent the kids to Camp Carnival every day. Unfortunately these kiddos were too young and had to sit with us during dinner. They entertained eachother half of the time. The other half our danicing waiters would entertain. Isela loved to clap as the Maitre D would sing and the restaurant staff would get on tables and dance. I really enjoyed that part.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdTs0SH2vBxUZuPqk88lhBHMay_L2qWmRnyhgXn1MSAw9mSSVTdjfypjjmsHgR7cwPu4BSdjDu3MrfCGL_QN7EOj0aeESyho916YxVU-Nk5vVof_fCzRKOJlJTVS9F4-GH32XQU4f8jc/s1600/Carribean+Cruise+2011+057.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576398255484587794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdTs0SH2vBxUZuPqk88lhBHMay_L2qWmRnyhgXn1MSAw9mSSVTdjfypjjmsHgR7cwPu4BSdjDu3MrfCGL_QN7EOj0aeESyho916YxVU-Nk5vVof_fCzRKOJlJTVS9F4-GH32XQU4f8jc/s320/Carribean+Cruise+2011+057.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg66yzigoNkBNmOKCL-D12Y1KWgNd-OhntfNhpPtzeBtLwBbj2VnnOdMyq_Idp3dGMmjWBcgb6ZGDvIHXq70n5UROO16ev2yyS8WPYQ730-G1gDbs_z8UuJnkgtGzOYaOjzJQqbu5KV-6k/s1600/Carribean+Cruise+2011+063.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576398254581095474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg66yzigoNkBNmOKCL-D12Y1KWgNd-OhntfNhpPtzeBtLwBbj2VnnOdMyq_Idp3dGMmjWBcgb6ZGDvIHXq70n5UROO16ev2yyS8WPYQ730-G1gDbs_z8UuJnkgtGzOYaOjzJQqbu5KV-6k/s320/Carribean+Cruise+2011+063.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IRpvC9z67aimgbcYY_w6__Mm4c-BfbowyrZ_IHWfL4zbImQ2tQsydVkpv__yfkMh8pgQWWEqY_wnqbRy9RT6wtoXUQ4K71eICeFZQvfaqzurXJuKoc-NW9QUtorKRBz9oxcZc_WAvTY/s1600/Carribean+Cruise+2011+058.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576398250207242594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IRpvC9z67aimgbcYY_w6__Mm4c-BfbowyrZ_IHWfL4zbImQ2tQsydVkpv__yfkMh8pgQWWEqY_wnqbRy9RT6wtoXUQ4K71eICeFZQvfaqzurXJuKoc-NW9QUtorKRBz9oxcZc_WAvTY/s320/Carribean+Cruise+2011+058.JPG" /></a> All dressed up for one of the fancy nights.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg4FHIeQhPICKRN7EyZgnjFI8j_xrYwRGHqfrw3HrSnFWOJBZ94nupqFp_pN-sKtx2INGLeTZVkRlLXaaTgeubDyDsh6ByR1nAw-9liU3Ld_CtvEF2LP76syw_y-KG8reFA2639J9L7UQ/s1600/Carribean+Cruise+2011+071.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576397738554056418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg4FHIeQhPICKRN7EyZgnjFI8j_xrYwRGHqfrw3HrSnFWOJBZ94nupqFp_pN-sKtx2INGLeTZVkRlLXaaTgeubDyDsh6ByR1nAw-9liU3Ld_CtvEF2LP76syw_y-KG8reFA2639J9L7UQ/s320/Carribean+Cruise+2011+071.JPG" /></a> Just about to dock in Jamaica.

Cozumel was our last stop and we weren't really sure about what to do there. Right when we got there it started to pour but we decided to venture out anyway. We rented a car a drove to the south side of the island. Blair caught this picture of an iguana perched on top of this structure.

I was really scared they were going to snap at the kids but they were just hanging out. As we were leaving the guy at the post warned us not to get out of the car until we got to our next stop because the forest was full of wild crocodiles and they would attack. That was a little scary!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0VtUVFjOF4h785BRt1siSq-2cRUvvrxYKf3m6CyzcKHMGBwpdxEr1bH-e4LRWgWEmX6wGCNf-L3yzPs1ycZ998Huehtt1OyUtUNvp0pcrMR6VtqeSxqD0um3z5nPZwq3w7bHqM6AF_I/s1600/Carribean+Cruise+2011+103.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576395145308464418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0VtUVFjOF4h785BRt1siSq-2cRUvvrxYKf3m6CyzcKHMGBwpdxEr1bH-e4LRWgWEmX6wGCNf-L3yzPs1ycZ998Huehtt1OyUtUNvp0pcrMR6VtqeSxqD0um3z5nPZwq3w7bHqM6AF_I/s320/Carribean+Cruise+2011+103.JPG" /></a> Our next stop was El Faro or lighthouse. It was really hard going up all those steps with an 18 month old in your arms but P90X helped out in that department. This was the view from the top.

There was a sign over the pig area that said Three little pigs but the three was crossed out and was replaced by 2. Then under it was written the big bad wolf was here. I told Max about it. so when we entered the maze he was staying too far behind so I told him that the wolf was around and we needed to stick together in case he came to get us. At first he didn't believe me but coincidentally the maze had a wolf cave, and at one of the dead ends there was a trunk with feet sticking out. This started to scare Max that he didn't leave our sides. At the very end there was a big box with a sign that said to howl for the wolf to come out. Max was crying and I was laughing but I finally got him to howl with me and this little mechanical wolf rolled out. Max was so relieved!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_WrAFsqfUFXQwm-UAZKUlJ3w7HQK6v5YvS4yA-70rxWd9nyOaEAjixBvGsAtJL58EldBPRExmDe57rl-bxYKPGRu5OGSrlcUo-qPnNcKnByg0fvYQjjUYkiV8umGn_1Q1X0tRJfBEh6I/s1600/smth+house+cherry+crest+092.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521794246344464946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_WrAFsqfUFXQwm-UAZKUlJ3w7HQK6v5YvS4yA-70rxWd9nyOaEAjixBvGsAtJL58EldBPRExmDe57rl-bxYKPGRu5OGSrlcUo-qPnNcKnByg0fvYQjjUYkiV8umGn_1Q1X0tRJfBEh6I/s320/smth+house+cherry+crest+092.JPG" /></a> We got to take a hay ride.

Then its back to Philly to pack up and move out by the end of January! I can't believe we will be moving out in the middle of winter. I hope it won't turn out to be a nightmare.
<br />Well we have kept busy doing fun activities with the kids which includes PARKS! Philly has some pretty awesome parks. That is something I will miss. Although, I wonder if Oregon has parks like here??

<br />We took Max to meet his hero Thomas the Tank Engine. He was so happy it was so cute. He was really good too. When he met Sir Topham Hatt he couldn't believe it. He kept saying "Whoa" and would caress his face. It was actually pretty funny. Isela had a good time too.

He tells me every day that he is a big kid. Sometimes he'll tell me about he used to be a baby but that now he is past that. Since we've been back home in Philly, Max has noticed some crayon markings on the wall and other things he's done and he will ask about them. So I explain to him that he did those things when he was a younger and he frowns and says" Mami I was a baby and I didn't know. I'm a big kid now." I love this kid to pieces!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ac2_3CoDUee8RIvPQneTADwjY_fZ_djNItxfDZiMEqnarxhFt5Sjn0oTqQCevy-EzN8gf5MQP_9n3xnGjkAsCU9yDsolRf5YJWyNSlmdU84dK2bDbt-7PH7pd__WTSanVaFu3VhlyzI/s1600/Summer+2010+133.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514376609144346498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ac2_3CoDUee8RIvPQneTADwjY_fZ_djNItxfDZiMEqnarxhFt5Sjn0oTqQCevy-EzN8gf5MQP_9n3xnGjkAsCU9yDsolRf5YJWyNSlmdU84dK2bDbt-7PH7pd__WTSanVaFu3VhlyzI/s320/Summer+2010+133.JPG" /></a> I enrolled Max in three classes over the summer to keep him busy. He took swimming lessons which he loved. He was one of few who braved to go down the slide and jump off the diving board. Once he got to the edge he started to have second thoughts but before he could say no the lifeguard pushed him off. I thought it was funny but Max quickly stated that he would not be doing that again. Thats his swim instructor Miss Marilyn.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4CRl8GAQH3gOc3TBkX3nclNDWsI0_N_k2CU7-RsBTn_nAXhB4YOAvRlhGODiC_T99aIPH4_oF1elSjO5_FYs17Q3sZzu3qV8lvJTwg-KADtD2PYjMx0N4wEyRs4HveWCN_iDQ8vQoNqE/s1600/Summer+2010+130.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514376607743784306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4CRl8GAQH3gOc3TBkX3nclNDWsI0_N_k2CU7-RsBTn_nAXhB4YOAvRlhGODiC_T99aIPH4_oF1elSjO5_FYs17Q3sZzu3qV8lvJTwg-KADtD2PYjMx0N4wEyRs4HveWCN_iDQ8vQoNqE/s320/Summer+2010+130.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYttyHWrMHc88RKmfwu03n7Ty8aucUIGcapNxp7Iao56dQPOiBlFgo7f0gKilHBAGHcHAYYAvu3NReepB4udvyuatGAdcJA8-BzkpGCODFLneAaVbTx7HfX-Cf3I98aSuv0lSlRQGB_I/s1600/Summer+2010+128.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514376596895777010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYttyHWrMHc88RKmfwu03n7Ty8aucUIGcapNxp7Iao56dQPOiBlFgo7f0gKilHBAGHcHAYYAvu3NReepB4udvyuatGAdcJA8-BzkpGCODFLneAaVbTx7HfX-Cf3I98aSuv0lSlRQGB_I/s320/Summer+2010+128.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I also put Max into soccer because I would love it if he was a soccer fanatic like me but unfortunatly for me he has no interest in the sport. He plays well and gets the concept but I'm not sure if it was heat, time of day or what but he never was thrilled about going to soccer class even though he enjoyed himself while he was there. The good thing was that it really helped Max learn to follow directions though he had a little trouble with the teamwork aspect of it.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjFxB-4VCiWXh1qfyoFz8Wj33A0mxCVLuU-2dYqWUoizuaRJEETRf2A-tpAAZw4yPZ_X2BJ7fZYzbTDmX5igWCbNXf-g6VhVLK5SnK5Th6x5Fa0BTfALckXZLfC8QreiXfiAht7WnoOpw/s1600/Summer+2010+119.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514376594973310898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjFxB-4VCiWXh1qfyoFz8Wj33A0mxCVLuU-2dYqWUoizuaRJEETRf2A-tpAAZw4yPZ_X2BJ7fZYzbTDmX5igWCbNXf-g6VhVLK5SnK5Th6x5Fa0BTfALckXZLfC8QreiXfiAht7WnoOpw/s320/Summer+2010+119.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXUuLCNrRmQTlwY9W6j7avVXhxvkQRtqufCUhtCiRbEd5PP-8GyzOciYyoiUbgMQP5rmlrbK3hT4WEcwTV3RK3tJlp1mPQ0cIsAgliojkCDEX-sV6IDmJzVHcj4xpF1BhN6R9s-sIV3YU/s1600/Summer+2010+122.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514376585070987874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXUuLCNrRmQTlwY9W6j7avVXhxvkQRtqufCUhtCiRbEd5PP-8GyzOciYyoiUbgMQP5rmlrbK3hT4WEcwTV3RK3tJlp1mPQ0cIsAgliojkCDEX-sV6IDmJzVHcj4xpF1BhN6R9s-sIV3YU/s320/Summer+2010+122.JPG" /></a> I know these are terrible pictures but I was having a hard time figuring out the settings on my camera.

So I decided to spend the summer with family in southern california. It has been a blast!<br /><br /><br /><br />Whats summer without some family fun? After a month of being apart Blair drove from Portland down to Central California where we met up for his family reunion. We didn't get to see or do much since we were there on the last day. Afterwards we hung out with his cousin in Fresno. Max loves his cousins.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjE5q1rFn0hDlHPC1gfGuNENgFo5OjmykCoE3Ewye42HfxUdggZHOHuWVCafaR4SZcXCpH1SZA1j5NFAXYqerfjv3ChFvMZ0oyIzkrvg1ZJlbf6rX99i2D0cgYws3toZDGoOg2yv91QXM/s1600/Summer+2010+063.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513663845966274082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjE5q1rFn0hDlHPC1gfGuNENgFo5OjmykCoE3Ewye42HfxUdggZHOHuWVCafaR4SZcXCpH1SZA1j5NFAXYqerfjv3ChFvMZ0oyIzkrvg1ZJlbf6rX99i2D0cgYws3toZDGoOg2yv91QXM/s320/Summer+2010+063.JPG" /></a> Fourth of July<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61dRJXStVfYIb_1wi0FHRVT8j315efAWEYRt8dSuPP2zwyXHl9s-TzspmEabd20o5NnsWJuoH9zF-B7pUw_ERIIW6UFgxApbxGjGtloP2PQyV0XUHFCwlYL26fBJT8R6l8y6ekYlTD_U/s1600/Summer+2010+074.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513663839138118306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61dRJXStVfYIb_1wi0FHRVT8j315efAWEYRt8dSuPP2zwyXHl9s-TzspmEabd20o5NnsWJuoH9zF-B7pUw_ERIIW6UFgxApbxGjGtloP2PQyV0XUHFCwlYL26fBJT8R6l8y6ekYlTD_U/s320/Summer+2010+074.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1iN-RqyPQLyM9ga9p8VPnbBdaaUBdG8ImFLFL4r25pzWnvUOW-HWwKTBsX_wup6hHQNgbJZGbCmkzgQYr8HV9XNurHD0pKR3of39FwjD_2qkthC9ZRoIGQaiqE8vEc9iwL5umxxhV884/s1600/Summer+2010+059.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513663833065618434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1iN-RqyPQLyM9ga9p8VPnbBdaaUBdG8ImFLFL4r25pzWnvUOW-HWwKTBsX_wup6hHQNgbJZGbCmkzgQYr8HV9XNurHD0pKR3of39FwjD_2qkthC9ZRoIGQaiqE8vEc9iwL5umxxhV884/s320/Summer+2010+059.JPG" /></a><br />Dinkee Creek.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijFul0FIHVVPBKEimF9tEtYrlpWpkBUxnTqc6bonsP-gkLR4k67xxn3F9vvOQn0aUa5ZVUjSGIRW8dp0czun67h36h4PPNcOrd_27kcHI11wMkDPsHfEcXYc-AU4a4b_EYSFD0MTcBXMM/s1600/Summer+2010+050.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513663828714449714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijFul0FIHVVPBKEimF9tEtYrlpWpkBUxnTqc6bonsP-gkLR4k67xxn3F9vvOQn0aUa5ZVUjSGIRW8dp0czun67h36h4PPNcOrd_27kcHI11wMkDPsHfEcXYc-AU4a4b_EYSFD0MTcBXMM/s320/Summer+2010+050.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVGZcLdsbOFQ53Xz6G5ve0xzhm1T9wWirtT4XFvIYHOZPsz3za9XMm19oaUSBMcdkd7QuafuhqwSDkORRFCwwVwf_KpooZM_AjzjyDgCC2KNtbnDGN1ogiXHnAne7VqKtehrfBkROI5A/s1600/Summer+2010+051.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513663821698905602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVGZcLdsbOFQ53Xz6G5ve0xzhm1T9wWirtT4XFvIYHOZPsz3za9XMm19oaUSBMcdkd7QuafuhqwSDkORRFCwwVwf_KpooZM_AjzjyDgCC2KNtbnDGN1ogiXHnAne7VqKtehrfBkROI5A/s320/Summer+2010+051.JPG" /></a><br /><br />While Blair was in the Bay area we met up several times on the weekends.

I've been anticipating the "fourth year" since we started school. I guess I always looked forward to it because I would get to home long periods of time. I am bummed to have to endure another winter on the east coast but maybe be as bad as the winter storms we got earlier this year.<br /><br />We've been trying to make the most of our time here by visiting beatiful unique places that you don't see on the west coast. So we decided to go to Longwood Gardens. This place is amazing!<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYTpSC4EesrgfksbkPbryo9UChYEH84S7tqrygs_s8ecXlWlFrwaCLccRzGz-_3nQoYfK7ctr_7WY3Yfnt9Y3fa_8utppB9eaZobyg7OVHQnue8YsqdH4_0ZQxXGDAHsuXWrkn5onl78/s1600/longwood+gardens+033.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474849691220080274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYTpSC4EesrgfksbkPbryo9UChYEH84S7tqrygs_s8ecXlWlFrwaCLccRzGz-_3nQoYfK7ctr_7WY3Yfnt9Y3fa_8utppB9eaZobyg7OVHQnue8YsqdH4_0ZQxXGDAHsuXWrkn5onl78/s320/longwood+gardens+033.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCc62jQZg4JnfSWf9_cnZr2-fC5Hk9pPl3CzqMOWVaVH_MuBoNX7064PoFO83GcoIlGyEtuUoilF9oXaq4KYYOFx2YLZJjUiSP5EBy3cVNa8tpQFK6yv93dm5H32ekyfGM3QnsW3m3F-k/s1600/longwood+gardens+016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474849682354902178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCc62jQZg4JnfSWf9_cnZr2-fC5Hk9pPl3CzqMOWVaVH_MuBoNX7064PoFO83GcoIlGyEtuUoilF9oXaq4KYYOFx2YLZJjUiSP5EBy3cVNa8tpQFK6yv93dm5H32ekyfGM3QnsW3m3F-k/s320/longwood+gardens+016.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkLe_8gIazMjaVoOnbs5uPxhT4Hzml1UuUzlh0ts6My_qotEwGpc_xV3kG9jvSrn7IWEYAVYXMACz5htS2bTRmsbxn0vHEc_pzwfguiJFbGP9bES_J-UbZ7kD_sL_BV4cQ5YBn_mNdTcA/s1600/longwood+gardens+007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474849674237977474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkLe_8gIazMjaVoOnbs5uPxhT4Hzml1UuUzlh0ts6My_qotEwGpc_xV3kG9jvSrn7IWEYAVYXMACz5htS2bTRmsbxn0vHEc_pzwfguiJFbGP9bES_J-UbZ7kD_sL_BV4cQ5YBn_mNdTcA/s320/longwood+gardens+007.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUX2b-PV9pRXsTFszk7q6u7fsZGOrAtWvVbSfpd-DVu5v-3P7LX7BmYUfXVYEJcxae65FDpGZvvP_w5DBUvZGHFJRanBnSSWwDbTt8rkP64kpnwpRtaxisP62FglUxkqG8Y4SBFppX1mA/s1600/longwood+gardens+003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474849663491191522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUX2b-PV9pRXsTFszk7q6u7fsZGOrAtWvVbSfpd-DVu5v-3P7LX7BmYUfXVYEJcxae65FDpGZvvP_w5DBUvZGHFJRanBnSSWwDbTt8rkP64kpnwpRtaxisP62FglUxkqG8Y4SBFppX1mA/s320/longwood+gardens+003.JPG" /></a><br /><br />The kids really loved the Children's Garden.

Max was super excited and begged us to take him on some rides. So we purchased a few tickets and let him choose the rides. Of course he picked the Circus train because he loves anything that resembles a train but his favorite ride was the roller coaster. He almost started crying when we told him the roller coaster was too big of a ride for him but he insisted and they allowed kids his size on it, so we indulged him.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlNQgCudeaed-m1nPnzWFeqVV0xN5vxfaM001vXS6Zhc9H8HDB7L-x63fAlNroRCEGOiptRxw2njJcvEolxVsxr4w-V0_h4w9mBpSOxGrsj5EBgxEfvPWxuBMcKVbS2pF9AwCQTEZtLU/s1600/April+10+033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlNQgCudeaed-m1nPnzWFeqVV0xN5vxfaM001vXS6Zhc9H8HDB7L-x63fAlNroRCEGOiptRxw2njJcvEolxVsxr4w-V0_h4w9mBpSOxGrsj5EBgxEfvPWxuBMcKVbS2pF9AwCQTEZtLU/s320/April+10+033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469633512509365442" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7H3-wfYhjSFLMbbhZBeWjDlkhTUnQW8yss-s7l-aCdmVppgyL9BdNK1FC9EX_73UU5HVcEggbSqS0-lUNaYIDZUS3drqM1eoHiBblmI6l9rQiYhGvkp81VvI1HmrHaLjhwyGDQpnqfQ/s1600/April+10+035.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7H3-wfYhjSFLMbbhZBeWjDlkhTUnQW8yss-s7l-aCdmVppgyL9BdNK1FC9EX_73UU5HVcEggbSqS0-lUNaYIDZUS3drqM1eoHiBblmI6l9rQiYhGvkp81VvI1HmrHaLjhwyGDQpnqfQ/s320/April+10+035.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469633498914189362" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC-b_LWNDlamgVE7y3bPo4PYT3vHKiFF7umyXGsIx80eFLj-OAkCoEt3WyynYCUEYvp8U61b93EWYK1is3esXxSzaS95-E1oG_XFYwnKdXdIr4NIP2YEZtrSYioCl2IDQ0tF5E59CorC0/s1600/April+10+044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC-b_LWNDlamgVE7y3bPo4PYT3vHKiFF7umyXGsIx80eFLj-OAkCoEt3WyynYCUEYvp8U61b93EWYK1is3esXxSzaS95-E1oG_XFYwnKdXdIr4NIP2YEZtrSYioCl2IDQ0tF5E59CorC0/s320/April+10+044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469633487070988866" /></a><br /><br /><br />We also took the kids to Castle Park where they happened to be having Touch a Truck event.

Max loves Pingu and talks like him. He basically yells out LOC LOC for anything. Anyway, the other day I put Isela down for a nap and I went to go put the laundry away when I hear Max yell LOC LOC. So I went to see where he was and he happened to be in his room supposedly saying hi to Isela. At first I was obviously mad that he woke up Isela but she thought it was so funny and was bouncing up and down laughing with Max, that I just had to laugh with them. She loves her big brother and can't stand to be parted from him. When Max is down for a nap I have to keep my eye on her because she will go into his room and start calling for him. So cute.

Max had a blast but I felt bad that I couldn't do much with him since I was holding Isela. So on Monday we decided to play in what was left of the snow(which is a lot) while Isela was napping. <br /><br />Here is our pathetic attempt at making a snow man. As I was helping Max make it I realized that it was my first time ever making a snow man. So what could have been a snow man ended up being a snow face.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZMCBm66ZsoQcNVfd9-yif9hc-Z1l-IPstDn6um-3TeV8-6Cn8ObAaM85ntLgey5lEfGH9gYH2A2iPAZauXzksRrq5KNMiR3Me7h0Pm28RiD8_5Er8uRV_hoQbhtS-nOYEqsApNEJ2p6Y/s1600-h/jan+feb+2010+024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZMCBm66ZsoQcNVfd9-yif9hc-Z1l-IPstDn6um-3TeV8-6Cn8ObAaM85ntLgey5lEfGH9gYH2A2iPAZauXzksRrq5KNMiR3Me7h0Pm28RiD8_5Er8uRV_hoQbhtS-nOYEqsApNEJ2p6Y/s320/jan+feb+2010+024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436467094545706674" /></a><br /><br />Later on that day Blair took Max out again for somemore snow fun and Max insisted on taking his "Elmo car." I can't believe how attached he is to this toy. He learned how to walk with this toy and he puts all his treasures in it. This worries me because I was planning on having Isela use this in a few months to learn how to walk but I think I'd be better off getting her a new one. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacwbx4OAOyBPdaWpHyP9OrP68euTlL5Q5QLN8cfrjw8xX3sIZpVjiaASnJEnW4VCzx7x7I7T9xsUacNtNoFZR-l01jRgNS8qVc7Dzu3CD8_MEqPI5sWZD0Yns_N1Itp0zsVCJj_bCmfM/s1600-h/jan+feb+2010+027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacwbx4OAOyBPdaWpHyP9OrP68euTlL5Q5QLN8cfrjw8xX3sIZpVjiaASnJEnW4VCzx7x7I7T9xsUacNtNoFZR-l01jRgNS8qVc7Dzu3CD8_MEqPI5sWZD0Yns_N1Itp0zsVCJj_bCmfM/s320/jan+feb+2010+027.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436467699797361490" /></a>Blair and Angela Jolleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05501985522120518876noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122355269059899437.post-68792633364362736102010-01-19T13:34:00.001-08:002010-01-19T14:25:53.988-08:00Christmas in CaliforniaWe had an awesome time spending Christmas with my family.

My grandfather peacefully passed away in the early morning. I was able to fly out two days later and be with my family for the funeral. I think I held all my emotions in until the day of his funeral. That day we celebrated his life in the way he would have wanted to celebrate it: dancing to his favorite music. We held hands and sang to him, we told him what we loved about him and we played a famous Peruvian song: El Condor Pasa.<br /><br />I think about his life and about its impact on me and who I am today. My grandfather was a merchant in Peru who sold garlic and onion. Based on his earnings he was able to buy a house and send his children to the US to study and get a college degree. With time his children brought him over and he was also able to buy a home in California. All this he achieved on what he made selling vegetables.<br />My Papito held my mom's hand as she passed away and assured her that I would be taken care of. He taught me how to read in spanish, how to do simple math, he showed me the value of had work and saving money. He even taught me how to ride a bike, bought me my first car and computer. He did everything a father would do and he was the only dad that I ever knew. I am just grateful that through the unfortunate circumstances of my life I was blessed enough to have had my grandparents raise me. I have had such a wonderful childhood because of them. Te amo Papito lindo y siempre te voy a llever en un lugar muy especial en mi corazon.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyilOH04SvA7vM6S8vqvKkhex99sMSGzOjgTgiyG5wc77sexzbbU58L5liGoe5eUDLLL5pIgpdkGX-4-gbEIg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><em>Apiadate de mi, si tienes corazon, escucha en sus latidos la voz de mi dolor.

We've been really ecited about this Halloween because its our last in the area and we really wanted to go to some neat Sleepy Hollow events. Unfortunately we didn't get to do all the ones I wanted but we did go to The Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor which was awesome! Here are pictures from the last two weeks.</div>

<br />The Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Over 4000 individually carved pumpkins. They carve about 500 pumpkins a week to maintain the displays. Displays included dinosaurs, stonehenge, giant spiderweb, beehive with bees. It was truly a fun experience. Max loved it!

Everytime I go back it just makes me miss being there with all my family and friends. When I come back to Philly I just feel so lonely and boring. What I miss the most is ese sabor latino (latino flavor): the food, the family reunions every weekend, spanish!, music, the fights over my famous Alfajores (peruvian cookies), the inside jokes, the drama and gossip, and above all mis Papitos. They are my grandparents who practically raised me since I was born. After they sent my mother and me to NY we reunited again after 1 year. Its very hard for me to be away from them since I have always been su mano derecha (their right hand). I hope Max and Isela will have a chance to grow up with a fraction of what I had as little girl. All the parties, dancing till 6 am. Tio Raul and Papito on the guitar. All the cousins complaining about why we always have to listen to huaynos. Now I understand why because they make you think of Peru or in my case the little bit of Peru my Papitos brought with them to the states. Viva Peru!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8PQddx67QqeKg8syOVh21pnsqDPVlOqL1jZXTp8tejQTC_qklngcyEoljWxf0CSoqFLOmY0zU4JtRjJ_N0ewTk8O3YEzzIcega985PVj-ePzsKDzoco1joxsSr9I4Z0VIXJ5-Hzq_iAo/s1600-h/california+09+064.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397470079793341954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8PQddx67QqeKg8syOVh21pnsqDPVlOqL1jZXTp8tejQTC_qklngcyEoljWxf0CSoqFLOmY0zU4JtRjJ_N0ewTk8O3YEzzIcega985PVj-ePzsKDzoco1joxsSr9I4Z0VIXJ5-Hzq_iAo/s320/california+09+064.JPG" /></a><br />Max wanted to wear a bow just like Isela.

My Mamita didn't even want to smile for the camera. She gets so sad when its time for us to leave. She's 98 years old. Sometimes I don't know whether to tell her not to cry or cry with her. Its so hard to say goodbye.<br /><br />P.S. I potty trained Max while I was there. Yupi!
