FAVORITE FOTO FRIDAY THANKFUL

Favorite Foto Friday, We are Thankful for many Things
Look at My LUZ




Goofing Off Here With Claire


My Beauty

I was not in the states for Thanksgiving, so it was a normal day here in Mexico
But, I still have many things to be thankful for.
One being my sweety Isabella. She amazes me all the time. How smart she is. How much she loves me and I love her, her always wanting to hug me and kiss me, when she speaks to me in 2 languages fluently! at 3 and not 3 and a half yet. Her constant curiosity, and sharp memory. her great concentration, and care to detail. her sensitivity, and many other things...

Today we have felt so much pain for the attacks in Mambai, especially the take over
of the Chabad Center, there, and resulting of deaths in there of 5 people, 2 being
the emmissionarys from Chabad, Orthadox Jews, The Rabbi, and his wife.

I am so grateful that their son survived, although it is a tragedy, and especially for this boy ,turning 2 tomorrow, and his parents died today.

So thankful that we have our health, and are safe, with all these terrible things happenning
in the world.

FFF For Crying Out Loud!

This week's Favorite Foto Friday is crying photos, well I don't usually save those but have a few where Isabella had just cried, or was going to cry.
Here is a photo at Isabella's school, and we were so trying to get a nice photo, but she was crying, had been crying, not my favorite photos


Here, Isabella was hysterical, because she was just dumped in the water in a Conversion Ceremony, MY POOR BABY! it was also cold and rainy, We were at Palm Beach past march 08


Isabella one day old

We went to the doctors in Guatemala City, and there was lots of waiting, and strange things doctors do to babys

Letting out a wail, again in Antigua, when grandma came to visit we were hanging out on grandma's bed

FFF BLOWING KISSES

Hi everybody,
seems like I am short of pictures for blowing kisses, it is usually me with the camera, so I am lacking pictures of Isabella and me kissing, usually it is too spontaneous.
I managed to come up with a few kissing pictures, to stay a little with the theme of blowing kisses.
Isabella after her conversion, i was giving her a comforting kiss, then her uncle Fernando

BARACK OBAMA WINS

I saw this on our Gafi Forum, and it really summed up an era, that we had lived through

An opinion fron the N.Y.Times

And it was. An era of unbridled deregulation, wealth-enhancing perks for the already well-off, and miserly indifference to the poor and middle class; of the recasting of greed as goodness, the equation of bellicose provincialism with patriotism, the reframing of bigotry as small-town decency.

FFF Favorite Family Foto

I have a small family and we live far away and visit very little.
but there are a few
i have a bunch of pictures that were not digital and i just recently had them scanned
Here is a picture of my father Burt, who has passed on, with my brother in law Bill, my sister Debbie, and my niece Nina.
Nina is twice the age now, but these are really my photos for the week that are special to me.
The photos of my dad, are the latest of the photos that I have of him
