White Christmas!

Well here is wishing you all a very blessed and "White" Christmas. Though I am sure most all of you are seeing some degree of snow! Ok Fernando in Mex DF is not!

We are here in snowy Oregon, in the Wallowa County mountains, beautiful and peaceful here at the Grandparent's home. We are blessed to spend Christmas with Vincent's Mom and Dad, brother and sister and her hubby. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the latter 2. Praying for their safety as they make it up from the Bay area behind us.

We got in Thursday to Boise and arrived here at the farm Saturday.

Just checking in, we will post some sledding pic's soon!

Well its been a while that we haven't updated our blog so we figured a few of our best fun moments captured on camera would suffice. Eileen came down with the flu, discovered she has asthma like her big brothers, and then came down with pneumonia! Still fighting it off, but happy that most of the fevers have passed.

Vincent is still having occasional chest pains and he is seeing his cardiologist again this week.

The kids enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving with us here in sunny Cal. Now they are very excited about Advent. Joseph wonders when it will be Christmas so we can "put clothes on cold baby Jesus, and put him in the manger."

We started a Jesse Tree. It goes through all the promises of God through salvation history. Our first ornament to hang on our makeshift Jesse is the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Joseph kept repeating "Eve was a very very naughty. I won't eat the apple Mommy."

Good luck child.

The countdown has begun, Saturday is the Feast of St. Nicholas, cookies and stockings here we come. Stay tuned...
