The first snow....so pretty!-for a day!


Puppy in the snow!


He loved playing in it.


Here he is hiding behind the Christmas tree....he does that when he knows he was naughty.

I am too cute!

Scorpios

Not many have been as "blessed" (heh) as those in our family, to have TWO Scorpio sisters (you don't know what you've missed). How we survived? Still a mystery. But anyway, here to my lovely little scorpio sisters. As I said in my last post, I miss you guys, I hope you get the package I sent soon...and I hope you have a great year. Cel, I'm praying for you and that everything works out in your life and future no matter where you are. Poochie, you're so so pretty and getting more pretty every day! I miss you the mostest because you're always gonna be my little girl, no matter how tall you get. I hope you had a good birthday party yesterday! Love you guys. I'll call this weekend.

Sisters!

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.
-- Marion C. Garretty

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.
-- Vietnamese Proverb

Elder sisters never can do younger ones justice!
-- Charlotte M. Yonge

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there.
-- Amy Li

How do people make it through life without a sister?
-- Sara Corpening

I smile because you are my sister, I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!
-- Author Unknown

In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips.
-- Author Unknown

If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child.
-- Linda Sunshine

If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and cannot catch your eye, she's wearing your best sweater.
-- Pam Brown

It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on... someone to tell on!
-- Author Unknown

More than Santa Claus, your sister knows when you've been bad and good.
-- Linda Sunshine

Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk.
-- Susan Scarf Merrell

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.
-- Pam Brown

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.
-- Pam Brown

We may look old and wise to the outside world. But to each other, we are still in junior school.
-- Charlotte Gray

What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it?
-- Jenny DeVries

You can kid the world. But not your sister.
-- Charlotte Gray

You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories.
- Deborah Moggach

I miss my sisters!

Kaiser

About a week ago we got a dog. Andre's been wanting one for a long time so he finally couldn't resist it when one of his coworkers said she was selling Labrador puppies.We named him Kaiser (Andre's idea, I swear!!!) and he's about 12 weeks old now. Here are some pictures of the newest addition to our home. --Karina, these are especially for you!



He's very playful but has started getting really naughty too.



Here he is tearing the ball apart. It's also what he does to anything else he can find around the house.


It's so nice when he's sleeping and I know he won't be chewing anything.

Hey everybody look! Shell had her baby and it's such a cute one too!!! Congratulations Shell! LY!

Our first football game! Ravens vs Jets. Ravens won!

I didn't have any pictures of me and mi amor, so the other day when we were out I made sure to have a couple taken. I won't bore you with too many so I'll just put up the best one.

Some pictures of us

Conclusion: I've gotta get one of my own.

Per Te

I smell your scent in the air
Little dreams lived with me
Now I know
I don’t want to lose you
That ageless sweetness
Your beauty has no rival
My heart wants only you

For you, for you I’ll live
Love will win
With you, with you, I’ll have
A thousand happy days
A thousand peaceful nights
I will do anything you ask me to
I will go anywhere you go
I will give all the love I have for you

Tell me that you already know the future
Tell me that this will never end
Without you I don’t want to exist

For you, for you I’ll live
Love will win
With you, with you I’ll have
A thousand happy days
A thousand peaceful nights
I will do anything you ask me to
I will go anywhere you go
I will give all the love I have for you

I don’t have to tell you anymore
You already know
That I would die without you

For you, for you I’ll live
Love will win
With you, with you I’ll do
All that you ask me to
I will go everywhere that you go
I will give all the love I have for you

Do I really need to say anything?

I couldn't help it!

I know my last post was with Alex pictures, but I just couldn't help but post one more photo that I got off Steve's Orkut...oh yes, btw, thanks for keeping that so well updated since it's my only source of recent photos. Anyway, I absolutely loved this pic of my bro, his wife (Gaby, you look so hot!), and the cutest of all nephews, Alex (just look at those cheecks and "Steve lips"), I'm even thinking about getting it printed so I can put it up in my office. Anyway, hope you enjoy as much as I did. Ok, now let me get back to trying to focus on my work.
