Zoo Days

Grandpa Nelson moved up north not long after baby Nelson was born. He was able to come visit for a few days right before Emma was born. We had such a wonderful time with him and his girlfriend Betsy. Here are some pictures from our two trips to the zoo. 

Summer 2011

Wow. We've been so busy for weeks now! We have camp next week and then it should slow down a bit, but Princess University is just around the corner! The year is FLYING right by us once again. A lot has gotten accomplished & that is what's the most important! :)

Nelson - Worship

Recently we were going through the whole "donde esta sus ojo's? la boca? la lenga?" ("where are your eyes? your mouth? your tongue?) and so on when I asked him, "Nelson, can you worship?" He looked at me very thoughtfully and a second latter jumped. He then jumped again, and again. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy ... He gets it! On another day I saw him all alone, pacing back and forth across the room. He would occasionally pause, jump, clap, and lift his hands ... 

Today we were still in the car before service when he began saying something weird that he says for "iglesia" (church) and pray ... he said it several times when I asked "you want to go to church to pray?" he said yes. Then during worship he started trying to tell me something as I got closer he said, "papi pray, papi pray ... pray, pray" as he watched the people on the platform ... it was pretty amazing

You have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise.  

They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge. 

Psalm 8:2

Motherhood times TWO! It's wonderful!

It is wonderful! I have no complaints or frustrations! God has blessed us with two beautiful children and it is truly a joy to spend each and every day with the two of them!!! Baby Emma is two weeks old and big brother Nelson is doing his best to take care if her! The first night we were home he brought his quilt to cover her. It was precious! So far everything has gone pretty smooth. Emma is a very good sleeper so that just makes things alot easier.

THE NEW .... relocation

We would like to introduce you to ...

So we got some really exciting news today and wanted to share it with all of you! God is up to something great - as always! We've been going through the process of looking for a location, and all of the paper work with the district for a few months now ... And have now received the "word" ... Just read below ... ;)

Dear Brother Rubio:
