Snow 2010 in North Carolina

This is the neighborhood where we live. We got 4 inches of snow yesterday and we got one more inch today. I have never seen this much of snow since I have been living here. The only thing we can not go anywhere by car.
Este es el complejo donde vivo. Hemos tenido 4 inches de nieve ayer; y un inch mas hoy Domingo. Nunca he visto tanta nieve como esta vez desde el tiempo que llevo viviendo aqui en Carolina del Norte. Lo unico es que no puedes ir a ninguna parte en carro. Las pistas estan con hielo y es muy resbaladizo y peligroso.

WINTER PORTRAITS

A neighbor is trying to build her portfolio and took some pictures of us for free. Yes, it was really a blessing. Thank you Jordan.

JANUARY 2010

Praised God for this New Year 2010. We have started a good year, Frank has a job that he really enjoys as a security guard; because he is able to do some school reading. Plus, we have been blessed that Frank is doing some interim pastoring at a church in Vaughan-NC, he always wanted to do something like that since he is still in school. God is really good and faithful!!! On the other side, I stayed home raising our two little princesses. It is tough and can get stressful but this is my season of staying home and enjoy watching them growing and learning so many new things. Ingrid is 20 months (our little butterball) and Sara is almost 3 next month. She is really smart and is speaking complete sentences. They will play together some and fight some. Also, I try to be occupied and learn more abou the Bible, I am taking a class on Thursday night at the Seminary and hope to get my certificate. Well, I think our lives are very busy right now. Here are some pictures of the girls with their new toys from Christmas.

Our sweet home II

Our sweet home

I have been wanting to post these pictures of our apartment a long time ago but never had the time until now. When the girls and I were in Peru, Frank had the time to decorate the girls bedrooms and rearrange some furniture around. It is easier when there is no child on the way to do that so Frank when ahead and did it. He did an excelent job, big hands for him!!! Frank and Ingrid used to share the room as an office and bedroom at the same time but now Ingrid has her own bedroom. We just need to get Sara a bed, we will do that pretty soon. She is ready for a bed. There is nothing like our sweet home.

Cold in NC

It is nice to be home with Frank again, eventhough, I miss my loved ones in Peru. Today, was a little warm and the girls were able to play outside for some time, while Frank was cooking on the grill some steaks and chicken. I like this cool weather, I can get to wear all my warm clothes, but the girls don't like too much, they love to play outside and I can't get to take them out so often.

Beautiful family portrait

Finally Home 2

We made it home safe and sound this afternoon, thanks God my flight was much better than the first one, no problems and Sara and Ingrid were able to sleep much better. They were so excited to come home that they didn't go to sleep until 2 am. and had to woke up at 6:30 when it landed to Miami. Ingrid woke up a little later, she slept in the baby carrier on my back on my way to Inmigration. The security was more strict in Peru than in here, I believe. They checked out my belongings twice, and they even were doing a phisical check out - I mean that a woman would touch you real quick just to make sure you are not bringing something dangerous to the plane, they did that on everybody adults and children but I didn't see that here in the States. Frank was able to meet me at the gate, I really needed his help, both of my girls were asleep. It was wonderful to see him again, my in laws were there too to see the girls. Thanks all of you who prayed for us. Have a blessed New Year 2010.

Finally Home 1

I left Peru last night. It was hard to say goodbye to my mom and sister. My dad was there too. However, my girls were ready to come home and me too, we were missing Frank so much. It is hard when you have love ones so far away from you just pray God to give me more friends here so I can feel like a family too.

A photo of the most beautiful woman in the world. God has blessed me with the honor of sharing my life with her. I can hear her sweet voice and feel her soft touch every day. She is my wife and I love her beyond measure.

My Family

Two of my favorite photos we took a few days before they left and I converted one to black and white. It is amazing the details you can see in b&w that you don't notice in color. I love you Giovanna, Sara, and Ingrid!! Love - daddy...
