Juan

Here are a couple of pictures of my "organizer" Juan Pablo. Once you get him started on a cleaning task he can't stop. That's usually good, but he gets going and wants to rearrange the furniture, shoes, books, etc. in what is many times an inconvenient arrangement. I hate to discourage him, but it doesn't work very well to put the shoes right in front of the front door or a table in the doorway. :) He has become the sweeper when we clean up in the afternoons. Maicol likes to clean the bathroom. He's very diligent about it too. Andrew is finally beginning to help put the toys away and actually accomplish something.
Jonathan had us bring the boys to McDonald's tonight and let us go out for dinner by ourselves! What a treat. Everyone had a good couple of hours. They really like him. Maicol was telling me tonight what a good brother Jonathan is. I asked him if he was going to grow up to be a good brother too. Of course he said yes. He also has decided that he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.
We're off early Saturday morning to my mom's for Christmas. The boys don't know it yet, because I do not want to answer the question "Cuanto, Mama?" about a thousand times between now and then . They have been asking to see their cousins, so they will be excited once they find out.
Goodnight for now.
Karen

It's fun to see how the boys are developing. Have a safe trip and a wonderful time at grandmas house. Tell her we said Hello. Love Mom

Karen & Dan,
It's such a joy to check in on your family. Even though I'm not able to leave comments at times, I'm still there reading along to your blog in between the times of mothering. Of course, with three active youngsters yourself, you know exactly what I'm speaking of. We grab the spare moments whenever they are there...

Warmest wishes & many blessings to you, Genece
