Road Construction

Tonight as I was walking home brought back memories of the COLD COLD winters in Wisconsin and Minnesota. You see here in PV we don't have to deal with Snow, but we do have to deal with RAIN, RAIN, and MORE RAIN!! I remember MANY times when we would get the inches upon FEET of snow that the streets would have to be widened by the grader. Well, when I saw the grader tonight, it brought back memories of those days back in WI and MN!! Tonight instead of pushing snow back to widen the roads, the grader was grading loads of dirt to fill in all the holes, valleys and bumps due to the INCHES upon FEET of rain that we receive during the rainy season.


I'm sure my neighbors were probably thinking why is she taking pictures of the grader fixing the street....

Well, exactly 2 weeks from today the Vargas-Crawford family and I will be heading to snowy and COLD Wisconsin to celebrate the Holidays with our families!!! I'm sooo excited for the Vargas-Crawford family to celebrate together for the 1st time in 6 YEARS!!! If you are curious why 6 YEARS check out my cousins blog for more information.

Everyday at lunch we get to spend a little time with Sophia. If she's not sleeping, she will come down and visit as her nanny Lorena has to eat too!! Well, this week we finally were able to catch a decent picture of her & I. Probably one of the best photos since July. Here's a quick progress...

On her Birthday - May 12, 2008

July - YES IT WAS HOT!! This was minutes before I was checked through security for my trip home for Summer vacation.
A BEAUTIFUL November Sunday morning following an event....We all needed a peaceful breakfast and Sophia was the morning entertainment:

Kristin snapped this photo a couple of weeks ago, but I don't remember when....

And this week during Lunch - Monday Afternoon


Can't wait for Christmas!!!!
