Another Cincinnati Bengals Fan(atic)
My hubby is a big fan of Cincinnati Bengals (and so is his dad). Even out of the country he still manages to watch all the games. He got a NFL deal and is able to watch the games online. He learned from his dad the passion for the team and is teaching Nicholas the same. You can see it through the pics that one more fan(atic) has been born!
PS: Nicholas chose the orange shirt.... no I'm joking! But the orange shirt was just a coincidence. Only after taking the pics that I noticed how he was dressed to the occasion :)

Maternity Photo Shoot: Águilas, Spain
Karen and Jose are expecting their second boy. I had the pleasure to snap some pics of their beautiful family at the beach right in front of my cozy nest. They all were very excited and even little Neemias was a trooper!

To my Son
Life is Better with You
Is this feeling real? Cause sometimes I feel I'm dreaming and I don't want to wake up.
When I look at your smile my heart melts and all the troubles melt with it.
You are my everyday joy that warms my heart.
Have I told you how much I love you? Yes many times!
And so have you, through hugs and kisses, calling for mama every time we're apart.
My sweet boy, thanks for brightening up my day and giving me a reason to say: I love you!
Cause the truth is life is better with you.
My typical mom-to-be dreams became a sweet reality.
And all the fears that once existed faded away.
The no life after kids. Or what about my me time?
They all are gone as you little by little guide me in a way
that there is no other way to say,
Cause the truth is life is better with you.
And when the hard times come,
When nothing seems to satisfy your little heart
but only mommy's presence will do,
I remind myself of the feeling from the start.
When I look at you that is my clue,
Life is better with you.
So as I write down these words to say
Thank You God for my wonderful boy,
I wonder if one day,
you will read it and enjoy
the truth that is:
Life is always better with you.

Todos con Lorca: La Isla, Aguilas
Last Wednesday we had a concert to get some funds to help out the city of Lorca that suffered the earthquake couple months ago. We had many talented people from cities around that sang beautifully. We were all there, worshiping God and praying for Lorca. Our theatre group from church also was able to perform their skit and they did a wonderful job!!!!

Church Retreat - Mojacar 2011
Last weekend we had a church retreat in Mojacar, a beatiful village with wonderful views. It was an amazing time where together with other churches we praised the Lord, enjoyed our brothers and sisters in Christ, had a lot of fun, and ate like crazy - free buffet for all meals, can you believe it!!!!!
While I was there, the pastor asked me to take some photos and though I didn't have my professional camera with me, my faithful rebel 450D camera took care of the job (Note to myself, next time, take all my gear).
