Tub Time

Okay, okay, can't resist adding one more video. Like I said, I don't have any recent pics and even though I added videos, this one is really the most recent... and it has both kids together, so that is an added bonus. I have to warn you, it is of bath time so don't watch it if you are sensitive to baby buns. The bathroom was a mess after this but they were having the time of their life together.

Karina on the Go

Ok, just one more video post. Sorry to bombard you but you can view them at your leisure anyway. I usually don't have the time to load the video so I am taking advantage of time at home to do so.

This one is from our family day last August at Al Azhar Park overlooking the city. It was very hot so we were pretty much the only ones there. The kids were so happy to be outdoors and we had a great couple of hours. Karina was so tickled pink she just kept running in circles. :)

Chupon sharing in the Pool

This is from last summer, July I think so Mark would have been just over a year old. No comments on his still using a binky please, it was easily fased out within the month that followed.
I was actually pretty worried about him giving up his chupon, but thankfully it was surprisingly painless and one day we just put them all away, no problemo amigo!

Anyway, this video is from one of our visits to the Red Sea, this one is set in the pool--one of the reasons why this 5-star hotel is our favorite--Mark was just loving the water, both our kids are regular fish.

Jason's song

So now I'm a little video happy. Here is Jason & Rigel's recording of MI MUNDO ES MUY PEQUEÑO, their album's title song.

Basket Case

So I finally took some time to load a video. You'd thunk they'd make is easier. Here is "basket case" Mark.

Family

I don't have any new photos of the kids to add, so I though I'd add some of my family. Let's start with Thanksgiving 2006.
We had hoped to be there this year but... circumstances happen. And, as you can see, we probably wouldn't have fit at the table anyway!

This one is from last summer. We haven't managed to get a photo of all dozen plus siblings in several years, sometimes eight siblings in one place is all you can get! Pictured (bottom) Luis, Rebecca (holding Rachel), and Julian. (top) Jonathan, Oliver, Evelyn, Ruthie, A.J.

So who is missing above... of course Princess Abi! Here she is with her proud Mama and Papa. To see more of the pretty little lady visit her Mom's blog:

Here is Moises with the new love in his life, Bere:

And speaking of love, Paul & Milca just got married (or will do so next week), how cool is that! I haven't received any wedding photos yet so I've stolen this one form my cousin Michelle's blog in the meantime.

Ok, the following are just some favorites of the fam...
