new camera

While in the states a few weeks ago I decided to get a new camera. I absolutely love it. I wanted to share some of my new pictures I have taken with you.

Last night we went to the center of Zapopan. We actually do not live in Guadalajara we live in a city named Zapopan. We went out to eat with the AIMers and some of our friends that are visiting from Texas. Here is a picture of the cathedral downtown.

Our AIMers with Robby, Kris and Pat
Josiah has started playing football. He really loves it and is having a lot of fun.

This is a picture I took while flying over Guadalajara. Look at that polution!

I love this picture of a snowflake that fell on my window while driving through Ohio.

Things are going well here. I was in the US for a week with family. I got back on Thursday and Friday at 4:45 AM Cory left for Mexico City. He will be there until Wed night. Its a little crazy with only one parent jugling carpool, school, homework, afterschool activities, housework, a cold etc. Hopefully things will calm down when Cory gets back.
I have some great pictures that I want to get posted but they will have to wait till a later time. I got a new camera while in Oklahoma - thanks to Circuit City going out of business. I love the camera and it takes increadible pictures. Look forward to sharing them with you later - have a great day.

Hospital Trip

Tomorrow I leave for the USA. I am excited to get to see family and especially my niece.
I planned on spending the day doing laundry, packing and getting everything ready for Cory to be with the kids for 8 days. Instead I spent all afternoon at the hospital. Today at school some kids were running and they pushed Abigail down pretty hard. Everything looked fine until a few hours later she started throwing up. We ended up taking her in to get x-rays and then to see our wonderful pediatrician. Thankfully his office is in the hospital. Neurologically she was doing fine. He did a bunch of neuro tests on her (lots of the tests they do to check if people are drunk - touch your nose, walk in a strait line etc.) There was an abnormality in the skull x-rays right where she had fallen so we had to go take more x-rays. Everything ended up being fine but it was a little scary. The abnormality was the line where her skull meets. Her head was turned just right and the line showed up and looked like it might be a fracture - Thank God everything is ok. She is not allowed to go to school tomorrow. I will leave for the USA at 8:30 so she is going to spend the day with dad. She is pretty excited. They are going to go on a breakfast date. She infomed us that it wasn't a real date because a date was when you go out to eat at night time. Well, I don't really have time to be sitting on the computer. My flight leaves in 12 hours and I still have 3 loads of laundry, packing, etc to get done.

update

I wanted to update you guys on some of the past info.

This morning Mitzi Brown passed away. Her memorial services will be at Sunset in Lubbock on Thursday.

Javier - we have learned that the dad (who is giving us all of our info) has probably been lied to. The info we have been getting doesn't seem to match up. He is being kept in a max security jail - which isn't for small offenses. When Javier has asked his ex-wife for the lawyers info she informed him that he didn't need to get involved he just needed to find the money to get him out. We do know that he is being mistreated and that he has bruises all over him. I feel bad for Javier Sr. because his family isn't telling him the truth. We are hoping that he will see the value of his church family during this time because everyone is so worried about him and his real family is lying to him.

My grandfather passed away yesterday. The funeral is going to be on Feb 2nd in Ohio. I will be flying to the US on Thursday.

Please watch this video its pretty good.
