Family time = good time

At the Burro Alley, where people would come to town with their burros to sell wood.




My mom has been here for almost two months, and my dad just arrived to visit. Love have family around. Today we took them to see a bit of downtown Santa Fe. We had lunch at La Casa Senna, which used to be a spanish mansion. It has a beatiful courtyard with a fountain, and that's where we ate. For the first time in my life I had muffins with green chilis in them. What?! I know. I guess I have no choice, I have to start getting used to chilis in everything now that I'm a Santa Fean.

A righteous child.


Isaac never ceases to amaze us. He continues to soak up everything we do and say, and consequently we need to put on a best behavior around him. Lately I've been feeling like we need to hurry up everything we are doing spiritually. And teaching Isaac is on the top of the list. I've always had thoughts that he would grow up to be a special person. And it's amazing to see him learning so quickly.

While we were in Atlanta I was talking to my mom to see how they were all doing, and she kept mentioning how wonderful Isaac is. How obedient and sensitive and happy can a child be? Well, today I made Isaac his favorite breakfast(waffles and sausages) and ran to get Bella a blanket. Two minutes later when I got back to the kitchen Isaac was saying a prayer all by himself. He didn't see me come in so I stayed really quiet to listen in. All I got to hear was him thanking Heavenly Father for his parents, and sister and grandparents. I think he might have forgotten to bless the food. LOL!

We are so glad to have a such a sweet boy!
