Visitors from SC!!!

We had a couple of visitors this past week. Felix's brother and sister-in-law came from Aiken, SC to visit us. They brought their son Yahir with them and he and Sebastian had a blast running around the house. Sebastian also got to have a vacation from daycare. Although he was missed and missed his daycare friends, he had a great time playing with his cousin. We also got great news from Karla and Juan. Karla is expecting a baby this January. She is hoping for a girl this time around. I will keep everyone updated. We all had a great week.

He's Back!!!!!

Felix arrived here in Pittsburgh this morning around 9:30. He is very happy to be back but extremely tired from his long trip. He took many pictures during his trip. Most of them are his family but some of attractions in the area where his parents live. He also brought back food that his mother made for Sebastian and I to try. This is Danizela, Felix's daughter holding her younger cousin Kirsten This is Felix with his nephew, Didier. He was Felix's shadow the entire trip. Felix said he did not want to let him leave. These are three of Felix's nephews together. The oldest is Abimael, on the right is Mantequilla and on the left is Didier. This is Danizela (standing in the green shirt) with her cousin, Andrea. Remember these two because I have a past photo of Danizela and Andrea as toddlers that I will show you. These are Felix's parents. They were very happy to have him home. The pictures above and below are of a park that was built recently in the city of Felix's family. It is very nice. The little green mansion is a duplicate of the president of Honduras' mansion.
This is a picture of Felix's parents house.


This is a very funny video that I could not help but include. Felix had loaned the camera to his nephew, David, so that he could look at the pictures. David changed the mode to video without Felix knowing about it. Then Felix tried to take a family photo. They had three attempts and still no clue that it was video till a little later. I laughed when I saw it.

Below is a picture of Danizela(right) and Andrea when they were close to two years old. I also included a picture of Sebastian at the same age. All he needs is more hair. I think they look a lot alike. The adults in the picture are Felix's sister, Leslie, and brother, Juan. The picture is at the girls' baptism so they are also the girls' godparents. Well, he had a great time and plans to go back and visit them soon. The next time Sebastian and I will be joining him. We also hope to bring his daughter, Danizela, back with us.

Baltimore Zoo Trip

Well, last weekend Sebastian and I went to Baltimore to visit with my parents. We had a great time. We went Saturday to visit the Baltimore Zoo where they recently celebrated the birth of a baby elephant. The elephant is named Sampson and he is only four days younger than my niece, Lydiah. He is a very cute baby and we watched him for quite a while. At one point he picked up something and put it in his mouth while one of the handlers went running over to try and take it away. It was funny because I am sure that any parent has done the same with their toddlers. Any way here are some picks of him.





There were other babies at the zoo. They had a baby camel which was so cute.


And Sebastian got to go on a camel ride. The women on the camel with him is a friendly lady who did not mind Sebastian riding with her and her son.



It was very hot but we had a great time.


Sebastian got to brush a goat.


We got to feed a giraffe named April.

Here is a picture of Sebastian pretending to be a turtle.
Followed by a picture of Sebastian in the same spot when he was only five months old.



We had a really great time. And I loved spending more time with my niece.


The rest of this past week was spent working and waiting for Felix to come home from Honduras. Check soon for pictures of Honduras.

Felix in Honduras

Well Felix left Pittsburgh for Honduras yesterday at 7am. He was very excited to be off to his home country and to be seeing his family again after six long years. He took a plane to Atlanta and from there he took a plane to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. This city is about four hours from Felix's home town, so he took a bus to Tegucigalpa, which is near is parents home and his sister picked him up from the bus station. Everyone is very excited to see him. He saw his daughter, Danizela, his parents, his three sisters, and his seven nieces and nephews. I talked to him Saturday night and he sounded so happy to be back with his family. He will be returning in two weeks and has promised to bring lots of pictures to show everyone. I will post some of them as soon as possible.

National Zoo trip

On our trip to Baltimore at the beginning of April, we went to the National Zoo in Washington DC. We all had a great time. Some of us had never been to the National Zoo before and for two in our group it was the first trip to any zoo. We all had a great time.


I had to start with this picture. I had never seen a black squirrel before. This was just some squirrel running around the zoo.


Here is my niece, Lydiah. It was her first trip to the zoo. She had a great time sleeping through it.


Here is my nephew, Clay. He also enjoyed walking around the zoo. This was his first trip as well.


Here is everybody. Big Cheese!! Hey!?! Where did all the moms go.


Oh!! There they are. These are the Mr. Moms of our group.


Here is Sebastian pretending to be a gorilla.


This picture site is a bit of a tradition for us. Below is a picture of Sebastian on his very first trip to the National Zoo in the very same spot. I already plan to get another picture of him here when we return in the future.

Hello All

I wanted to create a way to keep in touch with all of my family better. I would like to let everyone know how we are doing. I am still working in daycare and I love my babies. Felix is still working installing pipe for Verizon and he has been very happy with his job. Sebastian is doing very well in his preschool class. He is learning all his letters and is learning to write is name. Felix is preparing to go to Honduras for two weeks so we will miss him while he is gone. He is excited to see his family, especially his eleven year old daughter, Danizela. He also has three sisters and they each have children, so he'll see all of his nieces and nephews. I will try to post often to keep everyone up to date on how everything is going in our lives.
