We attended a wedding in San Angelo, and also met Buela there for the weekend. We had an awesome time!
Our dear friend Tamara, who we know from our days at Tech, had a beautiful, and holy wedding!


And thanks to God, we got to have a fun and very entertaining dinner with Fr. David! He's as kind and silly as ever!

We've now completed our 2nd month in Laredo. It's getting better and better, and slowly I am having fewer and fewer "I despise Laredo" days! It's not at all a terrible place... it's just that there are so many cultural differences, and it's difficult to adjust. Aside from the outrageous cost of real estate, it's a very beautiful place. God has been so good to us. I am loving being with the kids more, I actually might have a great p/t job in the fall, we have a wonderful church community, & Jorge is enjoying his new job. :) What has also helped us is that Uncle Ralph (Jorge's brother) & Aunt Suzie visited one week, and Tia Nessa (my sister) came another week. We had a blast with our families!
For those of you that "check in", here are some updated pics:

Sebastian is growing like a weed! We started a new "Be Good at Mass" incentive program! After many weeks of good behavior, he finally earned his much-awaited wrecking ball! (And Jorge & I finally get to pay attention and pray at Mass! Go figure!)

Karol is a bit fiesty (which no one can deny is totally Carrasco!), but she is such a sweetheart! She is growing up quickly. We even occasionally assign her the small chore of feeding Roy, because she's so good at it! :)
