Lots of pics for this post...
First, despite the dreary, freezing cold weather (plus snow flurries), Easter was a beautiful celebration of the Resurrection! Allelulia, allelulia!

Sebastian still loves dinosaurs more than ever. This microscopic dinosaur is the latest arrival! He even gets to nap with our kid.
Buela was recently in town to help me out with the kids. While we were out shopping, she threw a couple of outfits in the cart. Here are the kids in the new Dora & Diego duds. Sebastian couldn't wait to wear his Diego shirt. He even wanted to wear it to bed! And that Karol... not only does she look like Dora... she really likes Dora! She kept pointing to all of the little Doras on her shirt, saying, "Dor!"

(By the way, I did not prompt Sebastian to do the finger-pointing "hey"!)
And here's one with Sebastian getting his guns up! Once again, unprompted... really.
And thanks to God, we have 26 newly Confirmed Catholics! I'm guessing this was my last dinner with Fr. Jim & Bishop Placido, so ghetto-Roni pulled out the camera to capture the memory! My time in youth ministry has been priceless!
We're looking forward to becoming Laredoans! (Is that what they're called?)

Oh, this thing is definately in need of an update!
First, we're moving to Laredo, Texas! Jorge will be the director of the new rec center at the local university. (TAMIU) God-willing, I'll be able to stay home with the kids. Additionally, by God's grace, the university will also allow me to teach a speech course or two... pending I finish this 8 year masters degree! Good news: I successfully proposed my thesis a few weeks ago, and am getting closer to the finish line day by day! Thanks, God!

A couple of months ago, Jorge & I celebrated our 5-year anniversary! We are tooooo blessed by God. Only grace could give me the best husband on earth! :)
One of my best friends here in Lubbock, Dana, just had a 10lb baby! (And 4 ounces!) This is a pic at her shower. Some of you may recognize some of these girls from the CSA days! (Tori, Christy, Dana, Laura, Me)
And last, but not least, here's a more recent one of Sebastian & Karol! Sebastian is now 3.5, and Karol is 1.5. Sebastian STILL loves dinosaurs and sports, and is growing up into a wonderful, sweet, yet wild, young boy! :) Karol is one tough cookie, and handles her brother well. She loves to wear necklaces, climb the dog, and ride her motorized car!
We are so excited for what God has in store for our family next! Please pray for this transition... including that we sell our house! (St. Joseph, pray for us too!)

Our love to you all!
