http://thecastrofam.blogspot.com/2013/09/back-to-school-2013.html
Saturday, September 7, 2013. Back to School 2013. First day of school.2013. It seems like every year at this time I freak out like just a bit. With each passing year, they seem to pass faster than the last. This year we have 2 in middle school! How can that be? But Cody never ceases to amaze me. I am so proud of him, who he is and who he is becoming. I am not excluding my other boys. I wrote some nice things about Nicholas last year as he entered middle school and Bretty will get his fair share when ...

Saturday, September 7, 2013. Brett's All-Star team actually made it all the way to the State Tournament in Bakersfield! Brett had a great season and it was so nice to see him get to compete again. Thank you Jesus that he has fully recooperated and you cannot even tell he was ever in an accident! This is a picture of the boys running through the dunes in Pismo at sunset. Brett and Cody's team had a tournament in Pismo and the boys had lots of fun after the games with their friends on the beach.

The Castro Family: May 2012
http://thecastrofam.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. And even more grateful that God continues to amaze us with his power and his mercy. On Monday, at our appointment with the neurosurgeon, all that she said was, "I'm amazed." She asked is he back at school. Yes. Is he having any trouble? No He can do everything that he did before the accident? Yes How about his personality? So then I asked her, "Why are you amazed? Well, I am not surprised. You see, I serve an amazing God and I know the power of prayer! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, August 13, 2011. Our trip to Cayucos is always the highlight of our year. We treasure the time we get to spend together and with friends relaxing, playing and eating well!

The Castro Family: December 2010

Sunday, December 19, 2010. Castro Family Mission- Operation Water Well. Last summer, Neil and I both read a book that our church was going through together. It is called The Hole in Our Gospel and I think will change the life of anyone who reads it. At least that is what it did to us. It convicted us very deeply and left us asking, "God what can we do? The Hole in Our Gospel. This left me with a haunting thought. What if I was not blessed to be born to Stan and Margo Papi? So, that is where we sit now...

Wednesday, February 22, 2012. We started the day with waffles topped with strawberries and cream cheese. Then we finished the day with a special candle lit dinner of ribs and corn bread topped off with special Valentine cake pops for dessert! We are so blessed that Jesus loved us so much that He chose not only to give His life for us, but also that he has showered us with the abundant love that we get to share everyday! Here is a video of Nick and Cody recieving their Block N Awards at school.

Thursday, June 28, 2012. Adoption Update.now we wait. I have heard that Jamaica is very slow, but I am praying with all my might that we will be able to pick up our son next summer while I am on vacation so that I will have plenty of time to spend with him once we get home. Neil is hoping he will be home by this Christmas. :). So, if you want, you can join us in praying that Jamaica will move swiftly on our behalf (I spoke with one family who had to wait 5 years when they were adopting from Jamaica!
