Vacations???????
Right now it's 2am Guasave, Sinaloa Mexico time (4am Houston Time). We woke up 24 hours ago (actually 23 1/2); we left Rosenberg at 6am (...Kids playing and crying). I drove for over 8 hours to Monterrey, Mexico (...Kids still playing and crying). We left the van in Monterrey (after some...let´s say... restrooms accidents (poop and vomit) in the car by 2 of our precious kids) and got in a taxi for 40 more minutes to get to the airport and catch our flight Monterrey-Culiacan... In Culiacan Vicente (my step-father), Carmen (my only sister) and Fernando (one my 2 brothers) were waiting for us. Finally, I drove Vicente´s truck 2 more hours to get to Guasave (...Kids still playing and crying)!! My mom was waiting for us with one of my favorite meals, mmmmhh. That was delicious! Our kids were tired, or at least 2 of them were... because David ( our 3 year old) was not!!! He decided to continue with his night life... awake. After Carla fought (almost literally) for almost two hours with him trying to get him to go to sleep, I had to take him to the kitchen, where we had some snacks, played cowboys, had a nice 3 year old level conversation for a while, laughed together for about an hour and a half, and now I'm in my mom's home office unable to sleep and (finally) with a sleeping beauty boy on my side, snoring as a pig, ha, ha.
It is so good our heavenly father never sleeps. He's there whenever we need Him and he is actually just waiting for that moment when we want to be awake for Him only!!! ¨He is our sheperd, we shall not be in want¨ I often thought about Psalm 23:1 as a verse to remember He will provide...money, food, shelter, etc. But today I learned the best He can provide is His presence in our lives. No matter what, I will never be in want of Him!!!!
Ok, now I'll try to take David back to bed. Good night everyone, or actually Good morning everyone since it's almost 5am in Houston!!!

Yes, I have to agree, it was quite a trip! But we are here and God was with us. It was a long trip but it wasn´t that bad. The kids could have been worse and we didn´t get lost as badly as we could have gotten. Also, this was much better than the alternative of spending a day and a half going the whole way by land.
But I do have to admit, by the time we finally got to bed I was expecting our precious angels to be sleeping!!! Hopefully they will do better tonight!
That sounds awful! But I'm sure all is well now. I hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation! How is your aunt?
Carla, I`m still remembering when I got sick in the airplane (motion sickness)I forgot to mention the taxi with no a/c with 100degres temperature
Fancy Pants,Yesterday and today was much, much better, I will post some funny things that we have experienced.
My aunt is doing good (after 6 hours of surgery) she is still in the hospital recovering. Thanks for asking.
Great pictures. There for a moment I thought those were the mysterous cow-fish I've "herd" about. Enjoy your trip. Thank you for the encouragement from Psalm 23.
God be with you,
Tom
