In November baby Hunter was born. A new nephew to love on. Emi was in the room while Aunt Jeanie gave birth to Baby Hunter. She completely enjoyed the experience and found herself in tears and in awe of the process. She adores Hunter and was asked to be his God Mother. VERY COOL!
Nate's football team won his 5th Superbowl in a row and Emi and Jess were in several cheer competitions. Also, Nate made the Junior High Basketball team!

We went to the zoo and saw all the Christmas lights and made gingerbread houses.
The boys got Tennessee gear for Christmas from Grandma Starla and Papaw Ronnie...GO VOLS!
We made it to the international food store and got lots of items from Colombia and the things to make empenadas. YUM!!! When we stayed at Zuetana, one day they had a cooking session. We learned how to make empenadas and brought home the recipe!
And we've gotten lots of snow lately to play in!
And Jess turned 9 years old this week.
Here is a pic from just after her birthday 2 years ago while we were in Colombia and then one from this week. I can't believe how much she has grown! Little Jess isn't so little anymore. She has grown in every way imaginable. She is very concerned for others and is making good friends. She is terribly concerned for the people in Haiti right now and speaks of things we can do to help, like send toothbrushes, soap, and clothes (which we have done). She loves art and being crafty. She loves music and her iPod. Jess is very sweet and a big time Daddy's Girl!

Our kids have been begging for empanadas, but we don't know how to make them. Could you post the recipe for us? We would love to have it!

Wow have they grown! Jess is growing into a beautiful young woman.
Beautiful pictures. My, the time sure has gone quickly! I love the pictures of Joaquin making a snow angel and the 4 kids on the sled.

Guess I was too busy chasing after a certain wild child to pay attention in cooking class. Looks like you earned top marks. It is crazy how much Jess has matured. Those pictures sure put things in perspective. Like all your children, Jess is a beauty inside and out.
Oh my stars! Love the pics! Little Jess is a Little Diva! When you put the pics side by side like that, oh my goodness you can tell how much she's grown! My goodness! It doesn't seem like she should be that grown!!!
Thanks for the update. Sounds like the family is really having a great time together! Glad to see that things are working out so well. God has done some amazing things to your family!
By the way, I've had the Colombiana soda before, and it tastes oddly familiar.....
Wow! Jessica is so beautiful! Your family looks like so much fun!
Great pictures! Can't believe it has been two years already... wow!
Beautiful pictures!
Wow! I love your updates. Your children are so beautiful, and I really loved the photo of Jess from 2 years ago and recently. She is beautiful for sure! Thank you for keeping us all updated!
