“This is either going to make me bitter or better–it’s my choice.” –Joni Erickson Tada
Ok everyone!!! I’ve been saving up for a loooong time, so this is gonna be a HUGE update…hope you can take all these pics. It’s Anika’s birthday, and I firmly believe that I shall make up for all the updates when I didn’t put pictures of her on. So sit back and prepare to be astounded by her cuteness…
Are you in love yet?
It’s Erik’s bd too…and I found one of him when he was younger that is so CUTE.
He would be turning 18 today…how is it possible to miss someone so much, when I took it for granted that he’d live forever? This is my favorite one of him…in his natural habitat…cleaning his knife on his shirt. =)
And THEN…I found some delicious OLD pics from way back that just bring back sooo many memories… here goes:
This is the only one we have of Ronny on the computer…we have pics of him all over the house, but even though it’s fuzzy and not the best pose, I just love it. I miss him a lot too. February 12 it woulda been 3 years since he is gone…Our family has never been the same without him. He was always the life of every party…the clown of the family. His sense of humor was amazing, and no family can be quite the same after that one, special person is gone. We will never forget him!
Yolanda, Ninfa and Lidia…right after Yola came to live with us…they were so tiny and so VERY adorable!
A younger, skinnier version of Oscar, lol. =)
No te gusta, Dar? I thought this one was SO cute!!! =)
Semana Santa!!! This is how Easter is celebrated down here…lots of fishing…lots of swimming. I’ll try to name them off for you guys. Back row: Albin, Ronny, Sammy (a guy visiting…he’s now married and living in the States), Hector, Gil…front row: Willy, JD, Erik, Ryan and Darwin. I love these pictures. They capture my brothers so perfectly!!!
Spanish-moss-beards. JD and Trav…Kris, you gotta love this one! I love how JD’s eyes sparkle. =)
Mi hermanito…a long time ago. Wasn’t he just cute? =)
Oh yeah. And ME!!! (would you believe me if I told you I STILL have that hat?)
This was the whole home…we even got the dog. =)
Ok…that’s it. Hope you guys enjoy!!
Peace out…
Beth
