Christmas in Virginia!

After a few, "Hey, what's up with your blog site?!*^&*&(" comments, I thought it was time for an update. I know it has been a while, and I am so sorry. It is amazing to me that time seems to pass more quickly. Cristian and Aidan and I have been out of school for a week now, but I think we have been so busy, that it has not felt like a week!
We had every intention of sending out Christmas cards to all out friends and loved ones, however, life again has interceded.
Julian had a solo singing part in his winter Christmas program at school. Needless to say, i don't think American Idol will be calling any time soon. It seems he has his mother's uncanny ability to NOT carry a tune. We were extremely proud that he had the guts to get up in front of 200 people and 5 2nd grade classes (over 120 students) and sing his little heart out. He stood up on stage like he was a professional and looked into the faces of his "fans". Great job Julian!!!!!!
Cristian also got a singing part in his Christmas program. He sang the Friendly Beast which is a Christmas song about all the animals that were at the birth of Jesus. He sang the part about the donkey being shaggy and brown. I thought the part was very fitting of him since he has shaggy brown hair. He was so cute!I took plenty of pictures of him in his suit!
Aidan had a performance right before he got out. He and his class of 5 sang a few Christmas songs. They were too cute. My Aidan decided to give everyone the traditional scowl look as the snapped pictures of the stage. He then decides to lean on the Christmas tree, cross his arms and wink at every mom in the audience as he scowled/smiled at them. Totally hilarious! His teachers absolutely adore him. They laugh because they say he is so funny. Their names are Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Cook. However he calls them, "Hartman and Cook" like he works for Miami Vice. You know, Tubbs and Crockett?????? They say that when he's thirsty he says, "Hey Cook, hey Hartman get drink for Naidan (that's what he calls himself).
As for Jerry and I, what can I tell you. My job as a taxi driver continues. I watch my neighbors girls after school during the week, so my evenings are pretty much full running the Cantu daycare as my neighbors call it. I am still running. Hoping to maybe run another marathon next year since I got hurt training this year. Jerry continues his whole, I'm going to start running speech almost every day now (we'll see if he does)...... His job has actually threatened us with moving us to some town in Ohio. PRAY that it does not happen.
In case i never told you, a month after we moved out here, his company was sold to a Brazilian company called Gerdau-Ameristeel . They have plants in a lot of remote places. So they are doing the traditional shuffle of human inventory in their quest for a better corporation. Who knows what will happen next year. I just pray we don't move again and if we do that it is somewhere close to our friends and family again. HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEW COMING NEW YEAR~!!!!!! We miss you all. Pictures to follow soon........
