Happy Birthday Paul & Happy New Year!

Okay, this is the end of playing catch up for the past few weeks. In 2008 I vow to be more timely with my blog updates (right, wishful thinking!) I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve.

In this New Year, we will have many changes for our family: Sebastian will keep growing up and turn one year old in May, my brother will become a married man in June and who knows what other exciting things 2008 will bring. We also ask for your prayers in 2008. As you may or may not know, my parents (Cristina) divorce will be final in January. It's going to be a tough month and year for all of us and we all need your prayers, especially my parents.

I also ask for your prayers for a childhood friend of mine, Betsy, her husband Steve and their baby Andrew. Andrew was born on Dec. 23 with a critical heart condition and has already undergone a major operation. Having a baby now, I can not even begin to image in heartache of their situation and my heart feels for them so much. We continue to pray for his recovery and health in the New Year. You can keep up with their blog too to see how baby Andrew is doing. The link is on the right hand side - they are The Page's.

Here is our final installment of catch-up pictures...enjoy and Happy New Year!



Happy 28th Birthday Paul!
Happy Birthday Daddy!
We went to Sea World for the day on Paul's birthday. Sebastian LOVED the aquarium tubes at the shark exhibit as you can tell.
Us with Shamu. Paul's wearing one of his Christmas presents from Sebastian (haha...).Our family on New Year's Eve 2007.

Sebastian crawling around at 11 PM on New Years.
Sebastian having his first shot....just kidding. It was the perfect size water glass for this little guy! He sees a cup, water bottle, or anyone drinking and he immediately wants a drink too.Sebastian fell asleep at 11:50 PM on New Years. What a trooper, he almost made it.
Running with our suitcases for good luck on the first day of the year. This is a Colombian tradition that I love and we always take part in as a family. We fill our backpacks with items that represent places we'd like to visit in the new year, things we'd like to accomplish, etc. Then you set off and run around the block with them for good luck. Sebastian woke up around 12:15 am to ring in the new year.

Happy New Year 2008!!!
