Updates from Monterey


We had a great Halloween.  This wasn't Nic's costume, he decided he wanted to dress up like Evelyn and do some ballet for us.  (Deep down I think he really wanted to be a ballerina for Halloween, but his daddy strongly objected.)


This is Nic's daddy approved Halloween costume.  Our little Cowboy.

Evelyn was Little Bunny Foo Foo.

Elena was a Drum Major and we were the old standbys: a cute cowgirl and a humble fighter pilot...

        Emily finished her first marathon on Nov. 8, 2009 with a Boston Qualifying time of 3:38.18.  She is a superwoman and we love her as our mommy (this is the only part Julio wrote because he took over my computer for a minute).

For Veterarn's Day we took a day trip to San Francisco.  We got a good look at the Giant Red Bridge(as the kids call it) and the Giant Redwood Trees of Muir Woods.  We were able to cross the Giant Red Bridge and tour the Redwoods for free in honor of the Veterarns. (Our Julio)





After walking through the forest Nic said,"thank you daddy for taking us on a walk to see the big trees."

Thanks to our Father in Heaven for his beautiful creations and our many blessings.
