Lucifer

A couple of months ago we were flying out of Heathrow airport and when we came up to the check-in counter something funny happened. We gave the man behind the counter our tickets. Each ticket had our first and part of our middle names on it. Well, Chase's had his name (this is before we officially changed it) which was LuisFer. So the guy said "and this is Lucifer." We both kind of chuckled when he said it. Did he really think we named our child Lucifer? I guess he did because he continued to call him that until we left the counter. Thankfully, Chase's new passport has Chase Martinez on it so we won't have that problem again!

This is WAR!




There is a cat in our neighborhood that has decided to dig up our yard every night after we go to bed. This cat is digging a huge hole and it only comes at night. Greg bought some spray that is suppose to deter cats from digging in your yard. But of course, about an hour after he sprayed the grass it rained and washed it all away. We called our local council to find out what we can do to get rid of this cat. The lady told us that they don't deal with cats. She said cats like to roam and its natural for them to dig in other peoples yards and we should just not worry about it. We didn't really like that answer so Greg decided to put down chicken wire so it can't dig anymore. So far it's working. Hopefully when Greg takes up the wire in the Spring so he can cut the grass the cat will have learned not to come to this yard.

Relaxing After Dinner



This is Chase relaxing after dinner one night this week. Where does he get this stuff from?

5 Years With Chase




5 years ago today we were in Guatemala signing our last paper so that we could bring Chase home. These past five years have flown by. We are so very thankful that the Lord brought Chase into our family. Mommy and Daddy love you Chase!

Harrod's Department Store



Saturday we went to Harrod's Department Store with friends.  These bears were for sale but I'm trying to figure out who has the room for them?  We were going to go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, but it was so crowded that they were not allowing anyone else to go in.  Maybe we will try that next week when it's not so busy.  Chase really wants to try ice skating and that's definitely the place to try it.  Hopefully we will have some pics soon of all of us ice skating, or I should say Chase and Greg ice skating and me struggling to stay on my feet!
