A poem in memory of Tello Vasquez

The Hunter
By Mollie Perez
"He wasn't even a hunter" is what they all would say
But he became a hunter of men one beautiful autumn day
In his full life, he won the favor of each and every soul
The hunter was put on this earth to fullfill God's special goal
The goal was not a deer, nor a buck, or a dove
The hunter's heavenly goal was to teach us about God's love
"I'll be ok!" are the final words that he gave
In his life and in his death, YOU were his goal to save
The hunter should be presented with the highest gaming award
So many hearts he hunted down and laid before our Lord
While on earth enjoy this life just as the hunter would
He laughed and he loved his life each second that he could
Learn from the hunter and live life to the fullest everyday
Remember the hunter smiled as he told you it would be ok
When you're feeling lonely, just look where hunters should be
Go outside and open your eyes, he's everything you see
He's the rustle of the fallen leaves, he's the smell of fresh cut trees
Open your heart and open your hand, you'll feel him in the breeze
Put aside all of your sadness and rejoice that he reached God's goal
And thank the Lord that you knew the hunter because he saved your soul
So pledge your heart to God and ever happy you will be
To live with Jesus and the hunter in eternity

I wrote this for my dear friend Candice and all of those touched by the life and death of Tello. We love you Tello!

Caroline meets Santa


Last year we didn't take Caroline to see Santa because she was just three months old... SO...We dressed her up today and took her to meet him....too funny. Of course we had to stand in line for 45 minutes and Caroline fell asleep while we were waiting (recipe for disaster, right!)... Anyway, she didn't know what to think about him and wouldn't let go of me to sit on his lap so I got to tell Santa what I wanted for Christmas too! (sorry that it is so grainy...I took a picture of "the Santa picture" with my cell phone...no scanner) Funny...look at her face!

Need a GREAT photographer?

Sweet Caroline has learned to "give a kiss!"
My dear friend from childhood has recently started a business of her passion....photography. And SHE IS GREAT! Just wanted to put one picture on my blog and a link to hers....really, if you want some beautiful pictures...she is the one to call. She is energetic, great with children, and so very talented. She did a fun photo shoot yesterday at my house with Elena's beautiful son Dylan. Caroline was lucky enough to sneak in a couple pictures. Check her blog out and CALL HER! (* and if anyone wants her to take some photos in Greensboro you can always do it at our house. We have some great light with the windows and beautiful backdrops with the lake and trees!) http://www.lindseyturner.blogspot.com/
