Mark and I had the opportunity to celebrate with our new friends this weekend the baptism of their children, Jorge Rubio and his cousin Valeria Acosta. This extended family is awesome. They are from Mexico. The mother still lives there but 4 of her children are here in Baytown, but she came to visit for the baptisms. Oseil is Jorge's dad and invited us over for a family party before and after, in which we were stuffed with delicious food. You can see in the back a wooden grill type thing. This they built and they call the "coffin". Food is cooked on top and in the bottom. (The Brown Family also came over after the baptisms)
I don't know his wife, Claudia, very well as she doesn't come to church but she seems very nice and friendy. I don't know Cnythia as well either but she has an adorable little baby girl. Ogla Acosta is the sibling I am closest too. 
Ogla and Gerardo have two children, Valeria and Gerardito. Valeria is very shy, but Gerardito is very outgoing and hilarious. The youngest brother, Heber, is buds with Mark and they lift together at the gym. (Heber is in the middle, Gerardo on the right).
They are a great family and fun friends.
