Enjoying the Fall

 My Emilio.  Growing up oh so fast!  Here he is all dressed up in his "fancy" clothes.  My snuggle bug, my pain in the neck, my heart!  I  just love him! 

 Our family at Angel's citizenship ceremony.  Over 1, 000 people attended and, while it was hard for Angel to make the decision, it was a celebratory day for us as a family.  No more splitting up while going through immigration lines at the airports!  Angel will always be Venezuelan, never American.  He became a U.S. citizen. And yes, there is a difference.

 We went to the apple orchard again this year.  Emilio was even big enough to get up in a tree himself.  I don't know how many he ate while we were there but it was a bunch.  It was a hot day for autumn so we enjoyed the last few days of warmth before the Minnesota fall set in.

Ignacio was awesome at picking the best ones.  He is getting so big and strong and smart.  Doing so well in school and will for sure be ready for kindergarten next year.  Just the thought of being away from him all day is sad but it will be good...for both of us!
