FRIDAY ALREADY?!

wHERE DID the week go? oh well i'm hapy because that means mom's coming home even sooner!
let's see, Wed. was crazy becuase we took Aunt Cindy to her dr. appt. in the morning which is always fun. i mean spendin the time with her. i always look forward to that. we went shopping. I got home and took a pretty long nap actually and i don't think i could've made it thru the whole day without it.
in the p.m we volunteered at New life Beginning's which I love. Beto gave a short devo which is more self-taught with paper in both languages since there are spanish-only ladies too, and everyone likes it more becuase they don't have to sit thru a bilingual lesson and can go at their own pace. wed. he even made up a crossword in both languages. i was very impressed.

we went home and after santi was in bed and all that we crashed.

thursday was a very long day. we got to spend it with family but unfortunataly it was for Charles' dad's funeral. It was way out in Grand Terrace and then we drove to Riverside for the "graveside" service. It's at the National Cementary so they don't actually let you go right to the graveside, but near there in the park. The service was very beautiful. Lovely music and Bible readings and great things said about his dad. Please pray for their family.

Today we got to see Cindy again and she ended up waiting for us in the hospital. we left her in the waiting room and went to get coffee in the cafeteria and when we got back she was done already!

We took her home because she had another appointment further away and asked another friend to take her cuz she knew we were going to go to the pumpkin patch, but we wanted her to go with us! but this appointment was planned later on. So we went home and we were going to go to the pumpkin patch (PA's) but Santi fell asleep. Well, when I tried to put him in his crib he woke up, but then Beto fell asleep for two hours. So I took Santi for a walk towards the end of Beto's nap. When we got back Beto was awake! But santi went to sleep. So after santi'l short nap we finally made it to the PA's (welcome to my world!) It was nice but not for a kid younger than two really. there are rides, pony rides and a petting zoo. and of course hundreds of beautiful pumpkins!

we came home, ate, played, tried to keep santi from eating flowers outside, and now he's down for the night.
thank God he's sleeping thru the night now! but he gets up around 5:30, which I don't mind if I get to sleep early enough. so i better get my chores done so i can get to sleep before it gets too late.
