AMANDA HAS HER OWN BLOG!

Amanda has REALLY enjoyed reading everyone's comments on my blog!  In fact so much so that she started HER OWN BLOG last night!  And guess what color template she chose?  Yep! Pink! So I have switched my template and may switch again as there are so many nifty colors!

I tried green, which is my favorite color but it was SO bright it hurt my eyes and was difficult to read.  So for now I'm using  fall colors.

  

Check out Amanda's new blog!   Deaf Girl Amanda  http://amandakristineconde.blogspot.com/

Here are some photos of us at a family birthday party yesterday.

Jennifer, Amanda, Gonzálo and Joseph

Amanda put these "headbands" on us that were made from the popper steamers for the surprise party.  They were cute at the time, until we took them off and realized they had stained our foreheads!!

Amanda is making sure that Joseph gets some birthday cake.  Gonzálo is conversing with "our" mother-in-law, Roberta in the background.  Roberta is Amanda and Joseph's grandmother.  Her daughter was Laura, the kids' mom and Gonzálo's wife, who died when Amanda was 2 months old.  So she is our mother-in-law.
