Gone to Mexico . . . .

This was the saddest goodbye I have ever seen. Poor Mateo's heart was broken to see his brother and dad leave for Mexico for two weeks. Jimmy and Gavino had a long day of travel on Thursday but arrived safe and sound in Mexico on Friday morning. They met up with some neighbors at the airport and got lucky to get a ride from the airport to Rio Grande with them! This avoided having to take taxi's and the bus! They called us Friday morning from Rio Grande and were ready to do some shopping. Gavino needed a pair of cowboy boots to go with his new saddle he is excited to use.

By today - I'm sure Jimmy is in heaven waking up at his parents house and eating his mothers good cooking! I sure can't seem to compare to that!! :)

Raquel & Aunt Trisha

Trisha and Ian came home for Thanksgiving to spend time with us. We all think it is pretty funny . . . notice in the picture below .. . . Trisha and Raquel are about the same height . . . . now notice the shoes!! Trisha has heels on and Raquel is barefoot!! I think DJ is the only one that won't get taller than Trisha!

Mateo's songs from School

Mateo is nothing like Gavino . . . .he loves to sing his songs from school. To this day - Gavino will not sing if he sees me watching in the audience!! But not Mateo .. . . he just lets it all out!!

Raquel & Mateo

Raquel and Mateo had fun taking these silly pictures. Sorry for the long time in between postings . .. just found the cord to connect the camera!!
