Movie Night

Can someone please explain to me what all the hoopla surrounding Hannah Montana is about? I mean really, she's spunky and all, but the girl can't even sing. Was that too mean? But for those of you like myself that were children of the 80's and LOVED "Menudo", I guess they weren't exactly considered to be the most talented group either... Anyhow, putting all that aside, my daughter like many little girls is a big fan! She even convinced her little brother to watch the Hannah Montana concert on movie night. Needless to say, it took a lot of ice cream to bribe him. My daughter had one of her friends over and they had such an awesome time singing, dancing and oh yeah, melting over the Jonas Brothers! Too cute!!! They ate pizza and had tons of ice cream!!! It was a total sugar overload! Sorry Elaine and Jourgen. All and all, it was a super fun night!

God bless,
Mirna

The Garcia Home Makeover


This week we had the incredible opportunity to give a much needed family from our church a home makeover...The Garcia Family. Although we had been planning this for several weeks, nothing prepared us for the adventure we were about to encounter. If you've ever seen the movie "The Money Pit" then you have a pretty good idea what I'm talking about. I have to say that throughout this whole project, I was so amazed at how many volunteers showed up to help out. All I kept thinking throughout it all is how Awesome is God!!! I want to personally thank every single person that put their heart and soul into this project to make it a success! We had times that we weren't sure if we were going to EVER finish, so I really want to applaud those who stuck it out with us to the very end. I feel so blessed to have such awesome friends like you all in my life. I have to give a shout out to Julieta for the idea of the beautiful painting that will always be a reminder to the Garcia family of how God can work miracles in their lives.

A new home, a new beginning...


God bless you all,

Peter and Mirna

4th of July






Every year the kids look forward to the 4th of July! We have made sort of a tradition where they love to go with their daddy to buy the fireworks and then after dinner we open the trunk of the car and we all sit there and watch him light them up. This year we did it a little differently. We were able to participate in the Doral 4th of July parade with our church. Wow, could it have been any hotter, I think I lost 10 lbs from sweating so much. Wait! come to think of it, that's not such a bad thing after all! Anyhow, the kids couldn't care less if it was hot or snowing, they had a blast giving out candy and other goodies from church. We had an awesome day!
