I'm Thankful for...

...my baby's health. I recently read an eyeopening post on a bog I follow. The woman's child has a neurological disorder and his development has been a struggle. As I read it, I kept thinking how grateful I am that my baby is healthy and developing well.

Enjoy some pics from long ago....

What we affectionately call "gorilla arms."

Deep in prayer.

One cute kid.

Enjoying In 'n Out in Vegas!

Work again!

Weekend Fun - The Mall

The mall is often our hangout spot. When in doubt for something to do, head to the mall. This weekend we enjoyed a family event at the Woodbury Art Museum in the mall. We enjoyed the exhibits and the activities: focused on Latin American traditions, there was writing "dichos" on truck bumpers, iSpy games through the museum, make a carnival mask, decorate retablos, and making paper flowers and skeletons for Day of the Dead.

Making carnival masks. Amulek preferred to rip his apart and didn't want to wear the one I made.

Making pipe cleaner skeletons.

After the exhibit, we walked around the mall but soon left because it was so crowded. Must be Christmas shopping season.

(may need this in a few years for the cold weather...)

Date Night!

Oh, the days when it was just Mommy and Daddy on dates....No, we really like having Amulek with us on Friday nights. This time we went to campus to watch a trombone recital but found out that it had been moved to the end of the month. So, we decided to go visit the campus aquariums in the biology building. I didn't even know these things existed but Amulek loved it. He made fast friends with that turtle in the background, and we have a super cute video of the turtle following Amulek around but for some reason it won't upload. I'll try again later.

Well, he didn't love the part when we took him away from the fish. As soon as we turned him around, this is what happened.
