So we've been unfaithful with our blog, i know.....
There has been a lot to happening on our end, for the month of Oct we were in Houston, sold the car, celebrated Chris's birthday and I cut my hair.
We then flew down to Mex city spent a few days at the CTC, which was an experience in itself that place is HUGE! Chris teamed up with Tony, John, David and Johnathan to put some of David's songs together for the Cervantino (we miss you guys by the way). We then spent almost a week in Guanjuato, sleeping in tents and then witnessing late into the cold nights. It was great Chris had so much fun helping out with the music.

After that we came home started planing the Christmas push....We have a Christmas singing team, we'll be hosting a dinner for 200 people, we'll be visiting 3 hospitals with the Dr. Payaso program, sent some friends to a benefit dinner in Mex City and of course we'll be doing all the other regular things that Christmas involves...so that is where our time has been spent.
Last night we got together with our volunteers talked about our projects and also got to explain in greater depth who we are etc...at the closing of our meeting everyone prayed to receive the Lord. It was so inspiring!

I'm posting a few pic's of the Cervantino, i don't have very many pictures at the Moment...but i'm sure by the end of the yr we'll have a few more to post...Love to you all and Merry Christmas...

PS: we continue to pray for dear Owen & Becca..
and David congrats on your woman (joy and I figured it out) and baby of course...we are praying for a smooth pg and delivery.

My Beautiful Wife

This picture was taken 2 days after I met Marianne. Isn't she beautiful? Marianne is the best part of my life. I find out how much I need her on a daily basis. Getting Married to her is the smartest thing I ever did. In the last 3 years, she has taught me more in her silence than anyone has ever taught me in words. Besides Jesus, she is the only constant thing in my life. Contrary to what she would say, I cannot do without her, I would not be fine without her and I would definitely not be complete with out her. She takes up such a big part of my heart, I love her. I am completely in love with her. Thank you Marianne for your love. I need you more than music.

Padre Island...

For all you that known Chris this is him after almost finishing a beer....hahaha....









These are from like a month ago, not so recent. Chris and I spent a morning at the beach while we were fund raising in Corpus Cristi. We had not taken a day off for like 3 weeks and since Padre Island is right there we decided to kick back for a couple of hrs...anyhow here are a couple shots of that day nothing -wow....

New baby...

Noelle recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. We are so glad he's in the world with us. We've been expecting him for a long time and are thrilled that he's now here.

Steven and Noelle congrats on your new little one we can hardly wait to meet him.

Hospitals..

Here in Veracruz there is a project we do called Dr Payaso. Today was the day, we prayed with lots of sweet children and parents and made a fool of ourselves. More importantly it was a good reminder of how life is fragile and the ripples we make in others lives do matter..

the cost of beauty

beauty is in the eye of the beholder don't you agree?


more beauty....


more...

and just tinny bit more.. :)

We have the best kids ever in our home...they are so much fun to be with, one afternoon we decided to do something about our delicate skin so we put on some mud masks... and this is what it looked like..check it out.

the latest...

Some of our evenings together in puebla...








-awww...Chris looks so sexy in that picture.















Chris is the faithful smiler, and I'm making a weird face in both of these pictures...ay jesus.
















Ok So, our home just took a small vacation, for the kids sake mainly, before heading back to school we
wanted to do something special for them well you know...the parents did but our hearts were with them all the way of course.
Everyone piled into our cars and went to Cuernavaca. We went to this awesome water park; burned our little feet on the hot sidewalks runing from one ride to another, got freaked out on rides and yes, almost drowned (that would be thanks to Jesse...I love you tho, in case you read this). After that we went on to Puebla, we fished at this beautiful mountain park, drank beer, ice skated, and in the evenings got together for some wine and cheese etc..all in all had a good time. The homes treated us like kings, thank you so much for everything.
