What Happened at 5:30 am on Word and R...

This is us....Naomi, Heaven and Bebbie...:D Uncle Elias is not in these pics as he was hiding behind the camera, but I bear witness that he walked all the way to Otopeni with us at 5:40 am on that freezing February morning.
Naomi's birthday was the reason for this outing...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANU!!!!

Super happiest coolest 11th birthday, Manz. Te amo mucho! I miss you so much.
Praying that you had a great time up in the Pico de Orizaba and that you weren't too cold...guess it would just remind you of Baia Mare a bit, eih?
I pray that this new year will be super fun, exciting and full of challenges. You're so big now!!!
Well, let me tell you a bit of what we did today...we celebrated your birthday!
Yes, I got all the Benningers (minus the twins) to dress up and we baked a cake and sang the "happy birthday" song for you. ( I will post the pics and the vid later)
I decided that I will do this every year till I see you again...;) Hope you don't mind...teehee...
We made a dark chocolate cake ( I don't quite remember your favorite cake, but I think that you would like this one) with some "frisca" (no me acuerdo ni en Ingles o en Espanol :">, but just ask mum what it is...) For dinner we made some crepes and peanut butter, as I know you like that very much. So that was that...
I want you to know that I love you and I think you are the most loveable and fun younger brother I have. I miss our foolish times together, especially when we gang up against mummy...teehee...Thank you for your friendship and for being there for me when I needed some cheering up.
I know that I haven't really said all this to you before, but better late than never, right? Missing your good sense of humour, cute laugh, witty comments and most of all being with you. And I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I do miss you "taking care of me."
Okay, I think I will stop here before I embarrase you any more...>:D<>

Your sis,
Debbie

FELICIDADES FLO!!!!!

Flo, you are such a love. I miss those nights we stayed up late and talked till forever. Witnessing with you was lots of fun and you always helped to keep me looking on the bright side no matter how boring or slow the day was. Thank you for your sweet you and your cuddliness. Te amo!
Praying for this year to be the best in every way.

PS. Sorry I nicked this pics off your blog...don't have recent ones :"> :-"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Massie, you are really one of a kind, there is no one in the whole wide biggest world like you!
You are not only the bestest Massie that I could have, but you are my friend, counselor, shepherd, foolishness companion and a great cook!
Thank you for always sacrificing yourself for us and giving us the best, most of all, for giving us you and your time. I hope that when I have children they will be as proud of their mother as I am of you. You are really a sample of love for the lost, love for your brothers and sisters and most of all, a dedicated, whole hearted disciple.
I love you, Massie!!

P.S. Sorry that I don't have a pic...but as you can see from the older posts, she really is gorgeous both inside and out.
