Disneyland 2008

We went to Disneyland the Saturday after Christmas.
Fernando, Mari, Chris, Ana, Carlos, Eliseo, Ariel, & me.

Here we are in front of the big Christmas Tree.

Here is Ariel (only 6 months old) on the "Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage" ride. She actually rode 4 rides, this one, "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters", "Jungle Cruise", & "Pirates of the Caribbean". I had to feed her on the last one since we were out of my breastmilk in bottles. Thankfully, we were sitting in the back of the boat and it was dark enough so no one could see.

Here we are on the Jungle Cruise. Eliseo making a silly face at the camera.

Here are the three of us sisters... (missing Elisa) :-(

This was the last ride of the evening, about 11:00 pm. I didn't get on this one. The kids were asleep in their strollers so I stayed out with them. This was the "Haunted Mansion".

Here we are on the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage ride. Ariel & Eliseo enjoyed it. Even after the ride, Eliseo kept asking me, "Where's Nemo Mama"?

Here we are on Autopia. Eliseo was in the driver's seat. Fernando & Mari's car stalled so we ended up having to push them.

Rachel and the Lion

Stephanie's Book Release Party was tonight in Pomona, CA.

The book is about a seven-year-old girl named Rachel who lives in a small African town with no running water and few cars. She has a large family and her parents work hard to create a good life, amid poverty and illness. When her mother dies from malaria, Rachel's friendship with a lion gives her strength and courage to live with her grief.

Here I am with my daughter and aunt Esther with our faces painted.

Reading this awesome book to my son. We can't wait to see how it ends.
He kept saying, "read it mommy, read it".


Stephanie read a little of the book to the many kids who were there.
My baby girl loves it.




Here is my man checking out the book.
