prayers for our cousin mariaelena

we ask that you take time to pray for our young cousin who passed away yesterday (she was only 38). pray that she is resting in heaven. pray for all the family she left here on earth, especially her parents.

no matter what she was going through herself, she looked out for us younger cousins and always tried to make us laugh. we love you sweet mariaelena and thanks for being who you were!

this has always been one of my favorite shots of her at one of our famous backyard parties, cause she got right in front of adriana and blocked my big sis from being in the photo (you can barely see me), but mostly because it shows what a fun-loving spirit she had.

he actually is a good laundry helper by putting the clothes from the washer to the dryer

but some days he is so all over the place or wants to be carried (but is getting a little too heavy)--in the sling he goes
