Mexico Part 2

UPDATE - The following was written over a month ago but I hadn't downloaded the pictures yet. I finally just got around to doing it. Even though this has nothing to do with our recent turn of events, I thought I would post it nonetheless since I already started it.-

Ok, so we have been back from Mexico for well over a month, and I'm just getting around to my follow-up post and pictures. Frankly, I think the statute of limitations has run out on this one, but I want to preserve the real purpose of the blog: a family scrapbook and journal. I am not a "Creative Memories" type of person. I can't even cut in a very straight line. I am beyond blessed to have a good friend who is though, and she makes me the most beautiful scrapbook albums out of the goodness of her heart and love for our family. Thank you Auntie Jean!!!!! Each book you make for us is crafted with love and we LOVE you!

Now on to MY participation in the family memory preservation process. Luckily, I can download, copy and paste. The following pictures of our summer time in Mexico are of our family after the "boys" arrived. Now that we are back in the "routine" of life with small, school-aged children, these pictures are taking me back and giving me a vacation for my mind. Gracias, Mexico por todos los recuerdos (Thank you Mexico for all of the memories).

Friends cross all cultural and language borders. These are the two daughters, Alexandra and Daniella of our dear friend Susana.

Updates! Yay!

Your place in Mexico looks so lovely, and your family pictures are beautiful as always.

Your "turn of events" has me intrigued.

Looking forward to more...

Not sure how I found your blog, but I sure enjoy following it! I was adopted, domestically, at 15 days of age and I love to read your heartfelt entries to your children. I love how God creates families!
