Josiah's new front tooth!!!!


Hello. Well, some of you will remember Josiah's famous "accident" where he lost both of his baby front teeth back in May. Well, finally before Thanksgiving, we started to see the beginnnings of one of those brand new tooth (I've been teasing him that that tooth is gonna be a "big honking tooth"! So this picture confirms that tooth now coming in and all of us at home have been so excited for him! Even before it was out, I had to keep checking his mouth to see if that tooth was really gonna show its face or not! Josiah would say that his gums hurt and just a corner of the tooth was sticking through then (this was just a big of deal as when they were little getting their first set of choppers!!).
I just had to take this photo and post it for all to see! So now he's able to actually take a bite of food with his front teeth instead of always chewing on the sides. One never thinks about those things until it happens! And of course his bear isn't getting any teeth in, but he is so proud of that little bear (from Kohl's) that he had to get in the picture too!

Vegas trip

Hello! I thought I had better update this crazy thing. I keep thinking that i need to get it done, and then get pre-occupied with other things and don't get it done. I still need to download pictures yet, so for now you'll have to bear with hearing the story of us in Vegas!

Martin and I had a lot of fun. Sunday was the day we flew in, and we basically just walked around the Luxor and didn't go anywhere else. I, of course, had to take a nap (it was a 2 hour time difference - they are earlier than we are). Martin walked around the casino and gambled a little bit that afternoon, but not much. And right off the bat, we got hit up to hear a time share deal and we got cheaper tickets out of doing that, so we were signed up to do that on Monday at 9:15am.

Monday morning came and we did our time share deal - man are they expensive and pushy. They wouldn't take no for an answer and by the time we got back to our hotel, it was around 1:00 or so. By this time, Martin's mom, Josie, his sister Liz and her boyfriend, Julio were already in Vegas so we immediately made plans to visit them at their casino - Fitzgeralds. Getting on the double decker bus was another important event - the Deuce wasn't in the spot where we were told it was so we walked all around the Excalibur casino/hotel once and came back to where we were before only to have someone else tell us that it was that way, just a little different. So after we finally found "the Deuce", we paid $4.00 for a 24 hour pass for both of us to ride and we were on our way to see our family! After 45 minutes of being on the bus, we finally arrived at the Fitzgerald and met Martin's family. I never realized how much I missed them until we saw them! They were a welcome site! They were already in the casino gambling and when we arrived, we started to walk down old Vegas - that is really cool. If you ever go to Vegas, I encourage you to visit old Vegas. To see the Golden Nugget, Fitzgeralds, Binions, etc. It is really fun. Binions is where the poker tournaments actually got started and I guess they will hold some of their poker tournaments there that they televise. Also, old Vegas is where Nicholas Cage crashes into a casino in the movie - Con Air. I think its by the guy dressed like a cowboy. Now all of those casinos are caged in of sorts. There is a metal canopy over the top of them and at night they have a light show you can watch. That is really cool too. That starts at 9:00 and then after that they have a band playing there for the "Freemont Street Exprience" so it is called. It was really fun, and I must say, that is where we enjoyed ourselves the most. We didn't do any sight seeing along the strip at all, but next time we go, that's gonna be on our agenda. The most important part of this trip was to see Martin's family which we got to do, and that was a lot of fun. We spent all day Tuesday with them as well, just walking down Freemont Street, visiting the various casinos there and talking.

We all flew out on Wed. morning at almost the same times, but different airlines, so we didn't get to see each other then, but it was a lot of fun. The one other thing we didn't get to do was meet my cousins, Jeff and Cindi there. They stayed at Planet Hollywood, but we didnt have a chance to meet up with them. Crazy, be we live only 2 1/2 hours from each other and we never see each other. Cindi and I talked on Tuesday night and we both agreed that we'll have to get together sometime!

Must get going. It is very early in the morning, I couldn't sleep so I thought I would get on the computer, hoping to help me fall back to sleep. So far it hasn't helped at all. Maybe the tv will and on a nice comfortable couch!

I will download pictures soon! Love you all!

Thanksgiving!

Hello! So far its been a beautiful fall! Martin has been our roofing foreman for the past couple of weeks now and has actually parked the Infrared truck that he has ran all summer long for Bargen Inc. Its nice change of pace having him be home more often. Instead of him coming home on Thursday night, he's actually been home every night now - the boys and I really enjoy that. Its been a tough summer having him be gone like that, but on the other hand, its been a good change of pace - making me realize how much he is needed here at home. And that I need him here too. Sometimes a person just takes it for granted having the spouse be here all the time, and being on my own with the boys this summer certainly has had its challenges.

We're having Thanksgiving today with my family minus my niece and new husband - Krystie and Mike. We will miss not having them be here this year. It feels strange having Thanksgiving already - doesn't seem like the year has gone by this fast for the holidays to be coming already, but yet, the year has gone by terribly fast. Strange how that happens. I am bringing Mom's famous cranberry salad today - one I have never made before, but certainly is easy enough. Isaac tasted it last night after I put it together and said "I'll have another spoon of that Mom". So I guess it was a hit! :) Pat and Jenna will be here with little Cody too. Cody will be 1 year on Dec. 5 can you believe that? Man has that gone by fast! Pat says he's crawling now too - can't wait to see that one! And then, on the other side of the family, my sister in law, Frances is expecting #3 (another boy) on Dec. 17 I believe. Martin is still hoping to go to Lubbock to stay and work on their house projects for maybe 1 - 2 weeks yet this winter. That will be fun for him.

Yesterday we went to Mankato to get the boys (mainly Isaac) a winter jacket and man was the Mall busy! Every store had sales of some sort going on and both boys ended up getting really nice winter jackets for about 1/3 of the original price! Those are the days I enjoy going shopping!

Must get going. Martin just brought in laundry to be folded, so I guess my time on the computer is done! Have a great fall/winter everyone! We're counting down til Vegas - 2 weeks and we'll be there! Liz, Julio and Mama Q too. That will be so much fun!!

Love to you all! ~

Ok, so I have to share the new news of Martin and I going to Vegas. Remember me telling you that we were hoping to have Martin's sister, Liz, her boyfriend Julio and his Mom meeting us in Vegas?! Well, I spoke with Liz today and they booked their flights!!! Because of such a huge difference in price, they are flying out on Monday and then going back to Lubbock on Wed. So we'll be there a whole day ahead of them. They are staying at the Fitzgerald, but I don't think they will be too far away from us. It will be SO much fun to have them there with us - and to not have the boys there will be different too. It will be fun and we're really looking forward to having some time just to ourselves!

Anyways - just had to tell you all about it - its gonna be a great trip! The boys will be jealous of us seeing them too because they've been asking if we were gonna go to Lubbock this year or not. Martin told them that we'll have to see what happens in Vegas - who knows?! maybe he'll win it big?! wouldn't that be nice!

Have a great Monday!
love,
Michelle

Hello!

Well, this last week sure has been a different one. With all the rain that we got, Martin has been home the entire week - working maybe only 2 days at Bargen. The rest of the time he's been working here at home on finishing the inside of the house (which is a never ending battle). His latest venture was re-painting the dining room. I always liked the oregano color we had in there, but he decided to paint it a little darker than the living room - so I call it "hot chocolate". Looks really nice, just hard to get used too. It blends in better with the living room and actually makes the dining/living room area look so much bigger. He even finished painting the staircase wall instead of having it be 1/2 sheetrocked, taped and mudded and the other 1/2 is painted. So the house looks much better now. Now we just need to change the curtains in the dining room to match the brown better.

We're getting more excited about going to Vegas next month. We are waiting to hear if my Mother in law, Josie, and sister in law, Liz and her boyfriend Julio can go with us. They would be down there from Mon - Wed. We also found out that my cousin, Cindi, her husband, Jeff and some friends of theirs will also be there at the same time as us. How ironic is that? They booked their trip a couple weeks before we did - they arrive on Sunday a little later than we do and fly in to Mpls, on Wed. as well just on a later flight. How crazy! So we have made plans to get together while we're there. They are staying at Planet Hollywood. It'll be so much fun to meet up with them there too and like Cindi said - how strange it would have been to see each other down there when we only live about 2 1/2 hours from each other here in MN! The trip will be great and much needed. And even if Martin's family can't make it there, we'll still have fun!

Otherwise there isn't much happening around here. I need to get my behind in gear and make the chocolate chip pumpkin cookies I've been wanting to make for a couple weeks already. The recipe is a great one and I've made them the last couple years. They are great being frozen and when the holidays come, and we're watching the Santa clause movies, we get the cookies out and eat them with hot chocolate just like in the movie. Its a tradition that I really love to do. The cookies are wonderful, watching those movies are some of my favorite holiday movies and the boys enjoy it as much as I do!

Must get going. Hope the fall is going well for everyone! I can't wait for cooler temperatures and dressing in sweaters and jeans is always fun! The boys are doing well and growing up so terribly fast that its unbelievable. Isaac is up to my shoulders already and Josiah is up to Isaac's shoulders.

Have a great night - again, hope all is going well for you!
love,
Michelle

Las Vegas here we come!!!

Hello everyone! Well, the latest news is that Martin and I made plans today to spend some time in the great city of Las Vegas! We can hardly wait! If you know Martin at all, he has wanted to go there since the year we were married and in fact, he wanted to elope there but I told him we couldn't. So he's been patient (?) with me all these years (its been 9 1/2 years since then) and we are finally getting to go together. So we leave Nov. 25 and come back on Wed. night, Nov. 28. We are hoping that one or more of Martin's family can meet us there too, but we'll see if they can fit it in their schedules. We have never done anything this spontaneous before, and I must say, that's its really exciting!
We are staying at the Luxor (the one that looks like a pyramid) and we are now going through information on the better sites to see and such. It should be a FANTASTIC trip! :) We are SO excited!
Must get going. Its late and I, of course, need my beauty rest! Have a great week and I hope you are all enjoying the change in season! Its only in the 50's and 60's this week for highs, and man am I in heaven?!

Love you all ! ~

Summer fun!


Here are the boys at the Cub Scout camp out a few weeks ago. It was a rainy day, but it ended up being good enough to go camping like we had planned. One of the den leaders helped the boys make "hobo pies" (made of hamburger patties, cut up potatoes and carrots) covered them in tin foil and put them on the grill. The boys had a blast doing that! In the morning they had pancakes, sausage and orange juice for breakfast. It was cold enough to have pants and sweatshirts on for a while (which for me is kinda nice as I enjoy the cool weather). Sure was fun - this was our 2nd annual camp out, and next year I think we'll move the location to the Mound creek state park (this year we were right in Mt. Lake, just a couple blocks from our house actually). But I guess Mound Creek has a real nice place to camp in tents and campers so we'll have to try that one out next.








Here is Martin "smashing" the pop cans that the boys have collected (mostly my Dr. Pepper cans I'm afraid?!) They had a blast going to the recycling place in Mankato and getting their money for them - almost $20 total, so they then went to Walmart and spent it. It was fun watching them be so proud of their new found cash - we'll definitely be keeping that up for them - what a great way for them to get money!




















Ok, so here is a picture of our new boat. The boys (and Martin) sure are proud of it! I think they've only been in it twice this summer, but it is a HUGE deal to them! Its a very nice boat, needs a little TLC, but otherwise its in great shape. Nothing that a carpenter can't fix up great!
That's it for pictures at least for now. You know how it is having kids - there are always pictures you can put up of the boys, because of course I LOVE to show them off! Maybe later on I'll put some more pictures up of them!
By the way, in case you're wondering - the boys are really enjoying school! Josiah hasn't had a bad day yet in his 2nd year of Kindergarten (and it was probably all me getting nervous about him being there), but he'd been doing well. And Isaac has enjoyed being in 3rd grade. He aced his spelling test last week, but I did notice that this week's words were harder. He is star of the week this week too, so I need get a letter written for him, about him. Hmmmm. . . last time I did this was in 2nd grade and when I read it to him in class I got choked up. Must be a mom thing?! But its so cool to read something fun to your child when its about them. A person can't help but get all warm and fuzzy when reading those words. Anyways - I'm rambling again.
Have a great night everyone! Love to all. By the way, we're gonna be having a new addition to the Quintero family (and no, its not from us!). My sister in law, Frances and hubby, Aaron are expecting in December. That will be fun! :) Another one to spoil when we go down there!
Love to you all! ~

A new family photo!

Ok, so its been a really long time since I posted anything. So sorry - things have been so extremely busy for me that I just haven't taken the time to upload any photos from the summer besides me going to the Premier rally! Here is a new family photo we just had taken a couple weeks ago at Sears. Martin said he was tired of not having a family photo in his wallet and we made an appt that weekend! The boys are growing so much, and this picture doesn't really show how tall they really are (not to mention that Martin says I look like a bear rug in this photo). I'm not sure if that comment is suppose to be good or bad? Never the less, I do like the picture - the angle of it actually. But he and the boys are heading to Mankato this afternoon while I go to work to "work". What a bummer. But that's how things go.

This summer has been a very busy one. Martin bought a boat (I'll post pictures later on) - its not a new one, however he got a VERY good deal on an older boat in great condition and the boys love it. Needless to say, I haven't been in it, but I do have a life jacket for it. Guess that's a start.

Isaac started 3rd grade and Josiah is in Kindergarten again, and he actuallly is really liking it this year. That's such a huge relief for me since he wasn't willing to stay back in K for another year this spring. He wanted to go to 1st grade with the rest of his friends, but I think he's realized that he'll make friends here too and he even knows some of the kids!

Martin is still keeping very busy with work. This coming week he will be going back up north again (Wahpeton, ND, Benson, Bemidji, Alexandria, etc) but should hopefully just be the week and then he'll be home. Work is slowing down as the cooler weather is setting in and I am absolutely loving it! I really don't like the heat (I think it comes from the past 12 years of working in AC!) and I love the fall weather, getting the sweatshirts out and sweatpants. Actually having to dress warm instead of undressing becuase you're so hot! Ish!

Must get going to work though. Just had to post this picture to atleast get something new up here. Hope things are going well for everyone.

love from the Quintero's

Premier Designs National Rally 2007

Here is my new friend Donna, from North Carolina. We were able to spend Wed. together which was fantastic! Donna and I had just signed up to tour Premier Manufacturing (where they make most of the jewelry sold through Premier) when she approached me about going there together. What a great idea! We ended up having lunch together and talking a lot about our lives! It was a great time and a great way to spend Wed! I'll definitely be looking her up next year at Rally!!! Thanks for a great time Donna! :)


These are my Premier Grandparents - Dan and Diane Duren, also from Lincoln, NE. They were a joy to meet. Dan was kind enough to give us rides to the convention center from our hotel in a nice white Expedition instead of taking the shuttle bus to and fro. He also got us water and was just a very kind man to us ladies. Diane is the one who got Teresa into Premier and then Teresa signed me up, therefore Diane is my Premier Grandmother as they call her. Its so neat having such a great "family" in Premier! Everyone is so kind to each other and they all just want to help one another out so their business can be a success too.




This is Melissa and Tess from my training group in St. Peter, MN. Both Melissa and Tess are from Le Sueur and are a great help to me in selling Premier! I roomed with these 2 crazy gals on Sat. once Teresa and Shelly left for home.




This is my Premier Mom, Teresa on the right side and Shelly, my Premier sister in the middle. Shelly just joined Premier in June and is very excited about selling such great jewelry! Teresa is from Lincoln, NE and Shelly is from St. Paul, Nebraska. You're probably wondering how I got hooked up with Teresa? My friend Julie Harder, originally from Mt. Lake is a teacher in Lincoln, NE and Julie would have jewelry shows with Teresa. Julie would always send me a book and I would order jewelry from her. Eventually Teresa and I got hooked up and the "rest is history"!


Well, I just got back from Dallas TX where Premier Designs had their National Rally from July 11 - 15th. It was a blast - an exciting way to meet other jewelers and get their ideas on selling Premier. We had great entertaininment - Joni Erickson Tada, SQuire Rushnell, Dr. Mamie McCullough, Dr. Charles Lowry and others were there to cheer us on in our ventures!


Premier is all about being based on Biblical principles. Did you know that the JC in JCPenney stands for Jesus Christ? And that Lord and Taylor, the man starting that company is named Taylor, and wanted the Lords' name in his business and be first so he named his business "Lord and Taylor". Interesting huh? Premier stresses how important it is that we as jewelers know what Andy and Joan, the founders, they stand for. They stand for Biblical principles. They stressed that they don't care who we are or what we believe, but they believe in us and they love us for the people that we are - unconditionally - the same as God loves us. Premier can never be sold to any Fortune 500 company, nor will Premier ever be sold on the internet (professionally) - it will always stay the way it is today - caring about all the jewelers.

Premier is a life changing company!

This is Martin, his grandpa and Uncle Pilone (that's a Spanish word, but please excuse the spelling of it). This was taking on Dec. 22, 2006.

Sad news

Hello everyone. Well, for those of you that know about our trip to TX over Christmas, you'll remember that Martin and Isaac got to visit Martin's Grandpa in Mexico. He wasn't doing very well at the time, and he's had his major ups and downs since then too. So much so that he's remembered who his kids were (at Christmas he had no idea who Martin was) and then going to the same stage or so that he was in over the Holidays. Well, about one month ago, the Doctor called all the kids down to Mexico and said that Grandpa wouldn't make it past 2 days. So the kids were making funeral arrangements only to have Grandpa make a complete come back. Well, we got a call yesterday from my mother in law in Texas saying that her Dad passed away yesterday at 10am. The funeral is today, Sunday July 8, 2007. Grandpa was around 95 years old I believe. The funeral is so sudden because they had everything ready to go because of the last time he was so bad. Ever since December, he's told his son taking care of him and his other kids that he just wants to go home to be with his wife. So now Grandpa got his wish.

It was a very sad day yesterday for Martin. We went to our friends house last night for their annual 4th of July picnic, and he just didn't feel right. I could see the tears in his eyes when he talked about his Grandfather, but he never let them out. I met him once too - about 6 1/2 years ago. We went down to Mexico to celebrate his birthday - it was suppose to be this big bash for him with all of his family coming from close and far to join them. We were in Mexico for about a week or so and it was fun. Now when I talk about Mexico its not the Cancun, or anything like that. We're talking way down Mexico where they have dirt streets, plumbing is hideous and people get their groceries once a day to their meals. Isaac was almost 3 at that time and I was pregnant with Josiah at the time. Isaac would come in from playing and he would be just filthy dirty, not muddy or anything, but simply dusty. It was terrible to be outside, but that's how it was. Martin hadn't seen his grandfather at that time, for about 10 years, so he was very excited to be there. And it was fun to meet all of Martin's cousins who still live in Mexico too.

So if you have a chance some time during your day, please say a prayer for Martin and his family today, or this week. Martin's uncles and aunts have been pitching in to take care of Grandpa as much as they can these last few years and now to have him gone will be sad.

Thanks for your prayers. I know Martin and his family appreciate all of them!

love to you all! ~

Here are the boys eating one of their favorite meals - corn on the cob! Its so cute to watch Josiah chomp at his because he's missing his two top front teeth and he leaves spaces on the cob! (he he). In the picture of just Josiah above, Martin thinks he resembles his Mom's side of the family (the Gallegos) with the bone structure that he has. And then poor Bubba, I caught him in the middle of taking a bite - that wasn't the fairest to do to him.

The boys are getting so big lately - just growing by leaps and bounds. And then with being outside so much, their tan skin is really getting darker which makes me really be the lightest in the house!
For July 4th Martin decided to not get them fireworks to do, but instead buy them a little pool to mess around in in the back yard. Its approximately 6'x10' and is perfect for them to play in. We set it up yesterday morning and got the water in it right away - they couldn't wait for the water to warm up and they were in it for about an hour or so before coming in completely cold. Needless to say, they took warm showers and stayed inside the rest of the day! Hopefully today will get the water warmer and then they won't be so cold playing in it!
Hope you all had a safe 4th of July! Enjoy the sunshine!
This was taken at Pow Wow, our town's celebration. Dan Suess is the gentlemen who is in the Army Reserves and was sent to Iraq for over a year. He just came back last fall to his wife and twins - Jacob and Meredith, ages 8. We have gotten to know Dan, his wife Charlotte and their kids through Cub Scouts. Now that Dan is back home, he was Isaac and Jacobs' den leader and was very good at it. For Pow Wow this year, the town wanted to celebrate the troops, both across seas and here, and the veterans wanted to say "thank you" to those of us at home supporting them, so that's why Dan and Jacob were in the parade. They thought it would be fun to have Isaac with them, and of course Isaac said "yes" immediately!!! Dan said that at first everyone was saying Hi to Isaac and didn't even bother saying Hi to Dan and Jacob. And eventually Jacob and Isaac's arms were tired from waving at everyone! (how cute!) Isaac had a great time with Dan and Jacob!

the Jelly Belly truck!



Have you ever seen a Jelly Belly truck before? My Dad happens to know the driver of this one. Wayne drives for Martin Transport (the company my Dad drove for until his heart attack). Usually Wayne has a trailer with jelly beans all over it just like the cab, but this time he had to switch trailers with another driver so he is pulling a regular Martin trailer. Wayne stopped by this morning to see my Dad and the boys wanted to see the truck! Wayne was nice enough to leave the boys PLENTY of Jelly Belly jelly beans and man are they good! It was a nice morning this morning and the boys were excited about getting some jelly beans! but then what child wouldn't be?!



Here is baby Caddy with his Mommy before Mommy went back to the farm to be with her other kittens. Aren't they cute together?! And then there's a picture of Rascal - he's almost 2 1/2 years old and is quite the baby himself! He loves Grandma and Grandpa to pieces and gets so excited when they come over!!!

goofy pets!

Isaac and Cadillac!!




This is our new baby kitty, Cadillac. We were unfortunate to lose Waffles and Stanley, but I happened to catch my Uncle Ron one day and he said he had baby kitties at his farm so Isaac and I went out there a couple weeks later to see these new baby kitties. Isaac fel

l in love with the little grey kitten, but seeing all 5 of those babies made us want to take them all home! (Martin would've had his own baby kitten with that idea?!). A few weeks later the kittens were ready to be picked up so we went out there with Josiah too and still ended up bringing this little grey guy home. At first he hid behind the kitchen cupboard and wouldn't come out so we ended up going back to Uncle Ron's house to get the mommy kitty and see if she could help get baby out from behind the cupboard! Well, Mommy heard him behind there, but even she was too big to get back there so she came to bed with us instead! During the night I heard a tiny meow coming from downstairs and there was Mommy and her baby roaming around the house! Baby was still scared of us, but we were able to catch him and blocked that little area behind the cupbard so he couldn't go there anymore. Mommy went back to the farm to be with the rest of her kittens. (believe me we wanted to keep Mommy too, but Martin said no).

Cadillac has been a wonderful kitten and has grown so much! He was born around the middle of April and he has these adorable little circles on each of his sides in a lighter grey - I've never seen that before. He gets along great with Rascal, our pomeranian - Rascal is Caddy's new Mom, giving Caddy baths whenever he pleases!

Here is a glimpse of Caddy with his favorite person - Isaac! Caddy loves climbing onto Isaac's bunk bed (safe away from Rascal) to sleep and Isaac, being the huge animal person that he is, loves every minute of it! We've been encouraging Isaac to become a vet when he grows up because he loves absolutely every animal he sees! He and Caddy are two peas in a pod! And these pictures prove every bit of that!

You have to say "aahhhhh, isn't that cute?!" :)

Have a great day!

the boys and I at the falls in Redwood Falls, MN


Ok, so my friend Jesse just saved my hind end for Father's day. Usually Martin and I don't do anything for each other for Mother's day or Father's day. Even though he would disagree with that statement, we've never done anything special on those particular days. Now that the boys are getting older, its funner cuz the boys can get involved with it too. Well, my friend Jesse's (who also happens to work with Martin on the infrared machine) Mom happens to work for Berkeley. Now, for those of you with men in your lives who love to fish - you will know exactly who I'm talking about. They are the big name in fishing! Jesse just came here to work and dropped off about 30 different types of worms, croppy food, anything . . . for Martin and the boys to go fishing with. And better yet - its all FREE! WOW, I simply can't believe this. Jesse is such a neat guy and this was a wonderful gift for Martin for Father's day. Hopefully this will entice him even more to go fishing!

I'm still trying to figure out how to put pictures on this crazy site, so bear with me!

Catch ya later!

And be sure to wish your Father's a Happy Father's day on Sunday!

Love,
M
Hello! I figured other people are doing their own blogging, so I will do the same on our family!
Martin and I just celebrated our 9th Anniversary this past Wed. and I think this was the first year we celebrated it being in different towns! Martin has been working in Hutchinson lately for work (he's the foreman of one of our Infrared crews' see www.bargeninc.com). So this weekend will be one of going somewhere with the boys on Sunday to celebrate our Anniversary as well as Father's day. And with the heat, I'm ok with staying indoors. I think its from having an office job for so many years (12 this year) and being in the AC all day long. The boys love being outside, but I'd prefer indoors.

I don't really know what else to write for now, but I'm sure more things will come as the days go by. I'm gonna try to get some photos up of us soon, so feel free to check back!

See you!
Michelle for the Quintero's
