Hey Y'all

Posted by Robert and Monica Castillo

I know I don't get to see everyone that often, or for that matter get to call and keep in touch so I thought this would be a fun and interesting way to let everyone know that we are doing great up here in Fresno! Rob, of course is working hard and providing wonderfully for our family, while I stay home and take care of our muchkins.
Arianna is now in seventh grade and doing really good in school (we just got her progress report.... all A's and one B). She is busy with cheerleading, bible study, and boxing. Yup, I said boxing. Her dad thought it would be great way for her to exercise and build some good ol' self esteem. Apparently all the boys are scared now :) Nathanael is my silly boy. Always making jokes, and having a good time. He told his Sunday school teacher, "See ya Homies!!!" I thought I was going to pass out right on the spot. Since he is staying home with me I decided I would start teaching him the basics of school. We know red, and orange, the letter A and B. He really enjoys learning and is always asking me, "when can I go to preschool?" Gabriel, well he's a whole different story. That boy keeps me on my toes. He loves to steal stuff from his brother and sister and make a run for it. Yesterday, I was watching him try to wrestle the dog down. He had her by the tail and was laughing and when I told him to stop he looked at me and made a run for it (don't ask me where he thinks he's going). Poor Siemper, she just takes it like a champ, God has a special place for her in heaven, I just know it.
Well I guess that pretty much sums up the happenings at the Casa de los Castillo's. Just in case anyone's wondering, yes it is always crazy and frantic in our house, but we love it and wouldn't have it any other way.

Congratulations on being the first "BLOGGER" in the family Monica!!!
At first thought one (an "old-schooler") might feel a little bummed that a family would resort to communicating like this but it sure is a lot better than the way it's being done now, which is the occasional phone call and or the far and in between significant event get-together! I think this is COOL!

I'm glad all is well. "Things" are cool on our our end.
Hug the Munchkins for all of us!!! We LOVE you guys.
PEACE.
