Another Year

With each joy and sorrow experienced this year, we have had the opportunity to reflect and improve.

Mark started working for a new company in March. His most memorable moment was the gathering of our families to witness our son David’s baptism. He loves spending time with his wife and children.

I, Monica have prayed often this year for guidance, comfort and love. I have felt the loving arms of my Heavenly Father and Savior around me, which has been a blanket of comfort. I have been spiritually edified and empowered as a woman, wife and mother. I have learned that I can do anything if I just believe in myself!

Mariana is enjoying her last year in elementary school. Some things she enjoys as a 5th grader are: socializing, being a member of the safety patrol, and performing with the school orchestra. She has picked up two new hobbies, making bracelets and cooking. We love it when she makes her oatmeal cookies!

David was so excited when his baseball team won the championship. He got to be a part of the “Principals Club” for good grades and enjoyed playing games with the principal. He really enjoys spending time with extended family members.

Joshua has fun at home-pre-school preparing for kindergarten. He has made his 1st best friend and loves talking about him. He loves the great outdoors!

Ethan expresses himself more through words, but mostly through his wall art which can be seen through out our home! He uses all his energy to practice and train for growing up. He can’t help being so cuddly and cute!

2007 is quickly coming to an end, but we are so excited for 2008. We have goals set for the New Year to strengthen our family and prioritize our activities. We move forward in faith!
