The DeLucca Family: 10/29/09

Our little Family...

Sam and I were high school sweethearts, we dated for 5 years and have been married for 8 years. He is the love of my life and makes me the happiest lady on earth. We were blessed beyond belief when our sweet boy was born. Sammy brings us pure joy. We also have several children who we have welcomed into our family who are not our own, yet have become a part of us.

We love our Savior and are growing in our faith as we seek His will for our family. Basically we are clinging to the promise that He's not done with us yet and that He's still working on us. Life sure isn't always easy but thankfully He is our strength and we don't have to go through it alone. Although we live in the US, our hearts are in Guatemala. We love the children and staff at Casa Para Ninos Aleluya and count down the days until we can return each year. We hope you enjoy our blog!

Wuv You Pumpkin!

First of all.... Does anyone know if Julie had the baby??? I am on pins and needles over here!!!!

To say that Sammy has been obsessed with pumpkins in an understatement.... he has pumpkins on the brain at all times. He asks every day to go to the "punkin putch peese mommy" (pumpkin patch please) as soon as we pick him up. He even said "bye, wuv you pumpkin!" to my mom when they hung up the phone one night. Needless to say we have been to the pumpkin patch several times!!

I love the first one b/c he always hugs and kisses the really big pumpkins and says "wuv you happy punkin" ~ que liendo!

Visit with Hannah and her oldest sister Krista:

kissing the scarecrows

loves the bounce house!!

I still don't get the pumpkin on the head thing but they were all about it so I got into it too!

Fall Festival at Pumpkin Patch:

Waiting for the helicopter to land, Sammy was saying "go aqui" (go here) while he waved to it in the sky

I think he was being a pumpkin here, he said "mammy punkin" (Mammy is how he says Sammy)

First ever cotton candy, he was a big fan =) Loved the snowcone too but cotton candy was his fav

Pumpkin Patch with Playgroup:

Yes, that is his fav blue tonka truck he is clutching, it goes EVERYWHERE with us and we had a disaster on our hands when he began asking/crying for it and it left at Papi & Mimi's house. Not a fun few days

This is one of Sammy's best buddies Nicolae, we've been back a few times since this and EVERY time Sammy says, "Oh no, whrs Nica??" then he yells "Nica!!!" all over the place b/c I guess he remembers they played there together

There were I think 8 or 9 kids total but this was the best group pic we could get...it is so much harder with everyone being so mobile now!! =)

He LOVED the tractor!

Katie and Lukester on the hayride with us, Luke was adorable, he giggled almost the whole time as it bounced us around~ such a cutie pie!

Amy and her boys having "fun", ok really it is Amy and one of her boys having fun and one not so much. She was determined to have a good time and I loved it! =)

Bounce house with the Borges, Sammy loves David, he is a year older so he is super cool in Sammy's eyes

All 3 bouncing together

Sweet little Daniel one of Sammy's other best buddies (they are a month apart!), Sammy always gets right in Daniel's face to tell him things and Daniel is so great about it (thankfully!) I always think of that cute pic I have from when Sammy was two weeks old and Daniel was almost 2 months old and they are all leaned on top of each other on our couch. So cute that they love to play now!
