My cute boy

 These pictures were taken on Monday and I meant to post these pictures last week, but like always there is something going on.
On thursday Isaac started feeling sick and last night we had a rough night with him. He had a fever of 105 F, but fortunally we were able to get it down. (**note from Mark: He threw up all over me, I love being a parent!!!) He seems to feel just a little bit better but we are hoping that his fever is not going to come back.
        I had a good time trying to take these pictures, he did not seem very happy when I pulled my camera out, he thought we were gonna go outside and play but I wasn't planning the same.

We were walking on the back of the apartments and Isaac saw this little bicycle sitting on the back porch  of our neighbor  and he stole it and I  I let him do it  because I wanted to take a picture on the bicycle. We took it back once we were done.

These are just a lot of pictures I took.



 

I was torturing Isaac, I was trying to put him on the swing standing up but he did not like it.




 

 
I got a few pictures of him making some cute little faces.



 

 

 

 

 

 
This is one of my favorite pictures.
 

 

He was tired and wanted to go home and get the lollypop I promised him.

 

 

I let him get into our neighbors car. Isaac loves trucks.



 I love this pictures, and you might be wondering how I got him to pose, well I told Isaac, lets take a picture for grandma and he is like, picture for grandma, grandma. I got him to sit and I put my hand on my chin and he did it for me too.I said this picture was taken for grandma, now I have to give this picture to grandma.




These is Isaac's gift for letting me take pictures, and he was enjoying it.

I know it has been a long time since I posted anything on the blog, and I'm sorry, but life has been really busy lately. Mark, Isaac, and I came back from Honduras on November 18 of 2009. It was a hard move from one country to another, then 2 weeks later we moved again to an apartment. We are living now in Fayetteville, NC. My in-laws live here and it is very nice to have family close to us, since in Honduras we were by ourselves basically. So it has been a great blessing.
Mark is still working with the NC virtual public school, I stay at home but I am planning to start my photography business soon. We are trying to get back to normal life, though I don't even know what normal is anymore.
I feel blessed that we are back and even though it was hard to move from Honduras because we made great friends down there. We are happy to be back and happy that I get to stay in the country without any legal problems.
I took a few pictures of our apartment during Christmas time and I meant to post them but you know how it goes with Christmas and moving so, here they are. I also took a few pictures of Isaac a few weeks ago and a few recent ones I took with his cousins Emily and Adam. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I will be posting a lot from now on since blogging has become a little easier thanks to my sister-in-law Elizabeth.
I hope to be in touch with all of you who look at our blog and sorry again.

The biggest news!!!

I wanted to post a few pictures we took of our family on the weekend and a few pictures I tried to take of the boy, and as you can imagine a 2 year old does not sit still for pictures, but I think I got some cute ones. I wished he would sit and do what I say when taking pictures.
And the other big news I wanted to share, although some of you already know is that my visa was approved.
Last Friday we called the U.S consulate and they told Mark over the phone that it was approved and that we needed to call on Monday to make an appointment. So Mark decided to go to the U.S consulate instead of calling because they don't answer the phone until 2pm if they answer it at all. And while there the lady at the reception asked him if he had my passport and Mark didn't understand why she would need my passport. We really thought that I was gonna have another interview and that I needed it to give them more information. We thought that the interview was probably gonna be in a month or so. But when Mark asked why, she said if you bring the passport in the morning it will be ready in the afternoon. So because the consulate was gonna be closed today Mark is going tomorrow and in the afternoon it will be ready with a seal on it and after that I can go back to the U.S whenever I want to.
I don't want to disappoint anyone but we are not leaving very soon yet, well at least we don't know yet. We have things we need to do before we go. We have to sell our car and I need to say good bye to family. Like many of you know last year I found my dad and I met a brother and a sister I did not know they existed. I also have my brother in Copán (my home town) and now that I will be gone he is going to be the only close family member of my family in Honduras. So I need to spend some time with him before I go and of course we also have friends that we need to say good bye to. We will keep you updated when we decide to go back so we can see our family and friends.
I also wanted to thank all of you who prayed for us that we may go back to the U.S and that we would be protected. We appreciate your faith and your prayers and your fasting.
And here are some pictures, of our family, but especially from our cute and handsome little boy.
Enjoy!!!!



















Oreos and milk!!! Ummmmmmmm!




He knew I was taking pictures so he didn't stop moving.









I want to touch the camera!!
