Halloween pics

Here are a few pictures from Halloween- we did Trunk-or-treating at the church, then came home and ordered pizza... and opened the door to the 3 sets of kids that knocked...


Here is my knight in shiny plastic armor...















And my Snow White ( we left her seven cats at home...)

And then we have the little cow...

And the whole group

My happy boy, Gabriel

Daniel

Alin

Long time...

So, it's been more than a month since I have written on this, but that doesn't mean that nothing has happened in the past month- just means I have been too busy or lazy to update! But here I am, trying again.
Well, let's see... What new has happened... I'm still in school, just plugging along with 19 credits and trying to pretend I have time for a life. I hate to do homework over the weekend, it makes it feel like I don't get anything else done, but at the same time, it's hard to find any other time to do it...
Gabriel was sick last weekend, low grade fever and stuff, took him in on Monday and he has an ear infection. This is the first time that I have had to deal with one of those, thankfully he is feeling a bit better now and is not a bear!
And today it looks like Alin is getting sick- she's been awfully grumpy. Let's hope it;s just a fluke.
Daniel is getting so big- every day I look at him and he just doesn't have a baby face anymore- he looks like a little boy, and it makes me sad! I sometimes feel like I didn't have time to enjoy him little, because time just flies!
Speaking of time flying, Marcelo's aunt passed away this past week, and it has really reminded us why we want and need to be in Chile. He was the only person of the family that was unable to attend her funeral, since he was up here; and he really felt the need to be there for his family, especially his mother. I just wish that plane tickets weren't so expensive, or I would have sent him down. Maybe I will try to talk one of my sisters into being a flight attendant or something, so we can get cheaper plane tickets!
My brother Neil's wife had their first baby on Halloween, a little red-head named Elsie Rae. It's so weird to think that my little brother is a daddy! At least I still have 3 little brothers that are still little...

Bueno, ha sido mas que un mes desde que he escrito acá, pero eso no significa que nada ha pasado en el último mes, solamente que he estado o demasiada ocupada y floja para hacerlo! Pero acá estoy, empezando de nuevo.

A ver… Que hay de nuevo… Sigo en la U, trabajando con 19 horas créditos, y tratando de fingir que tengo tiempo para vivir. Odio hacer tarea los fines de semana, me hace sentir que no hago nada más, pero a la vez es difícil encontrar otro tiempo para hacerlo.

Gabriel estuvo enfermito el fin de semana pasada, un fiebre bajo y cosas así, al llevarle al doctor decidieron que tiene una infección en su oído. Primera vez que mis hijos han tenido una de esas, felizmente se siente un poco mejor ahora, y no anda como un oso!

Y hoy parece que Alin esta enfermándose- ha sido un poco pesadita. Ojala que no sea así.

Y Daniel esta creciendo tanto- cada día le miro, y ya no tiene cara de guagua- parece un niño ya, y me hace triste! A veces me siento que no tuve tiempo para disfrutarlo chico, porque el tiempo si que vuela.

Hablando de como vuela el tiempo, una tía de Marcelo falleció la semana pasada, y realmente nos ha hecho recordar del porque queremos y necesitamos estar en Chile. Él fue el único de la familia que no estuvo en su funeral, siendo que estamos tan lejos, y él realmente sintió la necesidad de estar allá para su familia, especialmente su madre. Desearía que los boletos de avión no fueran tan caros, o lo hubiera mandado allá. Quizás le trataré de convencer a una de mis hermanas que deben ser una azafata o algo, para podernos conseguir boletos mas baratos!

La esposa de mi hermano Neil tuvo su primer hijo el Halloween, una pelirroja llamada Elsie Rae. Es tan raro pensar que mi hermanito es un padre. Por lo menos tengo tres hermanitos que todavía son chicos…
