A New Year Part 2

Wow! It is amazing how quickly time fly's when you are having fun!

Its been a great last 2 weeks spent with Family, Friends and doing the usual craziness.

The Williamson Family (Mateo's oldest sisters husband and girls) decided to come hang out for a few days and since we were all in town it was decided that we should get some family photos done! Here are a few of my favorites! :D

(The Mancas and Williamson Families)

 (All the ladies in the families)

(I think we might outnumber the men but we will be adding one to this bunch this year!)

(Our Growing Family)

Following the family pictures we had a graduation party for Samuel and Maria at the Mancas home! Samuel Graduated with his Associates degree and Maria graduated from High-school! We are so excited to see what is in store for them in their futures!

At Church the next Sunday Alegria snapped this picture of Mateo holding his youngest niece who is going to be 2 in March! She was so exhausted from the busy weekend!

(Here we are at 22 weeks!)

I snapped a few shots of my awesome husband playing Frisbee and thought I would have a few bragging moments ;)

I love to watch him play Frisbee!

(Just some flowers my mom and I found at Kroger that I love!)

Over all this month has been filled with memories that we will cherish for many years to come! We are so blessed to be able to spend this time with our Family and Friends!

I will leave you with the end of Ecclesiastes 1 and I pray as we continue into this new year that our eyes are continually fixed upon our Savior and constantly trusting in his grace and love!

~ Until next time ~

 

I the Preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven. It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind. What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted. I said in my heart, “I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.” And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind. For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

 (Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 ESV)
