WELCOME TO THE FAMILY...


I have been wanting to post this one for a while I'm sorry again it's so late! Words cannot express how happy we are for my sister Rachel and her sweet husband Adam! They were finally united with their beautiful children on August 5th and it was a very exciting and blessed day! My mom got to be there to help them out for the first 2 weeks and my dad went for a while too! There was a week that Rachel would be all alone since Adam, mom and dad had to all get back to work so we decided to do our best to help! There was no way Rach could do it alone with all the circumstances she faced! So Brian, since he knows spanish flew out to help her for a week in Bogata (sp?), Columbia! Boy did he have his plate full but he was willing and ready to do what was needed to help and I love him for being such a loving person to leave our business during a holiday weekend to help out loved ones in need! He is always there when someone needs help and I admire that about him! Also Rachel's friend Jena flew down to help her for a while too so Brian only had to deal with the laundry and housecleaning part of it for a few days till Jena came --lucky boy...But there was enough to handle besides that part of it to make anyone more mentally and physically tired than you could imagine! Well there all home now and Rachel has had her youngsters for 10 weeks already and there all settled great in Las Vegas and the kids are adapting very well! There coming for a visit Halloween weekend since me and the kids havn't met them yet so we are so so so excited! We'll get to experience and share their first Halloween what a blessing!!! So here are some pictures and video that Brian took while in Columbia...welcome to the coolest family ever kiddo's, we love you!


Here is a video of all the kids playing on the playground--this was a daily activity for them as long as they were good! But it was right next door to the apartment so it was very convienent!

This video was the long hike up to where you get a great view of the city in Columbia--not sure what the place was called but you get the just of it!! Beautiful sites!

This is a video of the city of Bogota--They had a long hike up to the top but well worth it and it was a fun family outing!
