They grow up so quickly . . .

Linda turned 8 in January

Lisa will be turning 6 in April

Joshua will be 4 years old in August

Lucinda will be 2 years old in July

Where does the time go? Our "crew" is growing up. Holly keeps asking, "Where did my babies go?" To which Joshua usually answers, "Here I am!"

All by herself . . .

In March 2006, while Sergio was hard at work in Manassas, VA, Holly took Linda, Lisa, Joshua, and Lucinda to the heart of our nation's capital. She managed to snap a picture of the older three in front of the Washington Monument while in route to the main attraction, "The Dinosaur Bones" at the Museam of Natural History. Joshua and the girls thought they were cool!

















During the same week in Washington D.C., Holly and the kids had an opportunity to visit our friends, the Nelson, in Virginia. Steve is a Pastor and he and Angela have two daughters, Anna and Sarah. Steve recently acquired some chickens and are raising them to lay eggs. It doesn't great fresher than that!

Lisa's Birthplace

In March of 2006, The Arce'S visited Salisbury, Maryland, Lisa's birthplace. Being so close to the coast, we couldn't leave without a trip to Assateauge Island where wild ponies still roam free since the 1500's.
