Valentine's Day

This year was a family affair on Valetine's. With still no babysitter we went out to eat together and then went to the Supermarket for some cookies. Here is a picture of when we got home. Marisol gave one of her roses to our Landlady.

A real fireside!

Tonight we all went to the mutual activity with the young men of our ward at the church. We made a small fire and roasted marshmellows. I taught them how to make s'mores and we played soccer. Little Evan had a blast and mom sat and talked with the wife of the 1st counselor in the Bishopric. Here's a picture of us by the fire (Jacob's behind the camera).

Jacob is now an American!

Today, February 6th, 2008 we went to the American Consulate in Matamoros, Mexico to get Jacob's (4 months old now) certificate of birth abroad. It's about an hour's drive and we ate at Pollo Feliz after the appointment. It's just another step in getting everything ready for our return to the states. Oh yeah, and coming back listening to the radio we heard that Marion is out and Shaq is in. What the heck? Shocking but also interesting. I'll be tuned in as always.

Hello family! We are still living in Reynosa but hope to be crossing the border soon. On Friday we finally received an appointment date for Marisol's immigration for March 31st. We are so excited and need to be in your thoughts and prayers. We love you all and hope to see you soon!
