December Moments (2008)

Here are a few fun moments from December of '08:

We had a Christmas Party at church and Santa came to visit with the children. Joaquin would get no closer than this to Santa. He really wanted to give the Big Guy "knucks," but it is a little difficult from several feet to connect fists. I really wish I would have gotten the picture with Joaquin's little arm outstretched and Santa's arm stretched trying to connect for a knuck moment. Oh well! This is the only photo I was able to snap before Joaquin ran away.

This was a cute moment between the kids. They were hanging out on the couch and Detroit was helping Joaquin with his "glare." (Some of you might remember that Detroit had an AWESOME glare when she was a toddler.) She gave him the glare (while he giggled), and then he gave her a great glare while she was looking at the camera.

Since we spent Christmas in San Ramon (CA) this year, we decided to have an early Christmas in Roswell so we didn't have to haul all the presents with us. The kids were so excited to get some of their gifts before Christmas...at least Detroit was.

Brett said...: I saw the Christmas pictures and the new year's pictures. I was really confused how D's hair doubled in length in 1 month. Then I realized the Christmas pictures are really old. Guess that explains J looking like a little baby again. Anyways, the glare series of pictures are magical.; January 29, 2010 at 8:46 PM

Jared and Tiesha have been married for 17 1/2 wonderful years. Jared thinks Tiesha is awesome and incredibly funny. They have three great kids and live in ROSWELL, New Mexico.

Jared has opened his own law practice (Kallunki Law, P.C.), and is extremely busy!!! He does a little bit of everything, but mostly family law and criminal law. Tiesha is a Reading Coach at Washington Avenue Elementary and gets to work with the K-3 teachers and students. She loves her job! In her few moments of spare time, she is a Jazzercise instructor. She spends her spare time thinking about updating her family blog and looking at her poster of Edward (it never gets old!).

Detroit is ELEVEN years old, and getting ready to finish the fifth grade. She still loves to read more than anything. She also enjoys tuning out her parents and her brother when she reads. She is a great big sister, and loves teaching Joaquin how to howl, growl and snarl. She is especially good at making Joaquin laugh and smile, and sometimes she will even let him hold her toys. She enjoys playing basketball and soccer and going to Girl Scouts. Detroit has a very kind heart, and lots of great friends. She is still obsessed with animals and enjoys pretending to be a dog (or a wolf, or a coyote).

We found Lunchie while living in Tuscaloosa. She was a kitten trapped in a deep window well on the University of Alabama campus. I brought her home and Detroit (who was then 3) named her. She is a wonderful, but weird, kitty. Lucky for her that she has nine lives since she has already used some of them (head stuck in between chair slats, jumping on the stove while it was on, getting stuck in a room for four days with no food or water, leaping off a second story balcony and hitting tile, eating lots of fake plants until they all created a giant plastic ball in her tummy...), but she seems to be learning her lesson. (We hope.) Her favorite thing to do is follow Tiesha around the house, and flop on the floor the second Tiesha looks at her.
