Reasons For Not Blogging. Part 1.

Though it's not the first reason, let's start with Mexico.

I spent 3 weeks there.

Learning Spanish.
Chillin' with teenagers.
Missing mi esposo. (That means husband.)


Disclaimer: My camera has issues. Therefore the number of decent photos is limited. Yes, it's infuriating.

Sweet little muchacha.

Me & the ninas.


Cofradia's volcano.


The girls liked trying on my sunglasses.



I loved having these 2 around for the first week.


Awww.


My brief, but awesome weekend at a resort in Manzanillo. Completely solo. Compliments of my way-too-awesome husband, who arranged it all for me. The only thing that would have made it better is if he had been there with me. Oh, and coconut ice cream.


Back in Cofradia. Hiking with the Becarios and Audrey.
Carlos, Noe, Francis, Ale & Audrey

My buddy, Rojelio. At the eco-park we visited.


Yeah. That's a tarantula. Just crawling across the sidewalk.


Graduation.

Cecily, Alejandra, Eliott, Me, Nina, Carlos, Molly & Audrey

Calalillies.

Me. With the Calalillies my boyfriend gave me. At least, that's what I said as I walked around town with them.


To be continued...

This Just Makes Me Happy


I Love this girl.


She's my buddy.

She's sweet and funny and forgiving and super cute. She's sensitive and smart and has quite a personality.

And she's the only one in the world who can get Mike to do this in front of a camera.

Watch and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.

Bearthday

Recently (ok, not that recently), we celebrated this girl's birthday. Ahem, bearthday.

Isn't she cute. Aw, look at her. Just look at her.
Jennifer & Amy put together one happy bearthday get-together. Complete with:
1-An earth cake.
2-Earth-friendly shopping bags (which worked great for carrying tools).
3-Earth-friendly silly string. (What. It's possible.)
4-A very questionable meal at a very questionable noodle place.
5-One stupendous lesson about noxious weeds.
6-Weeding. Yes, that's right. Weeding.
AND
7-The planting of one apple tree (hence, the tools). In an undisclosed location. Don't worry about it.


Jenny finds the planting of the tree to be heartwarming. Just heartwarming. Rikki thinks it's funny.Here is Amy taking care of the final details with the tree as Jennifer begins her tree speech.Yes, that's right. Here's Rikki dancing by the tree. Pregnancy doesn't stop this wild woman from joining the party.
Oh. And here I am. Climbing the tree.

Hope it was a good one, Jenny!

Amy's amazing cake. You are a domestic genious, Amy! A domestic genius.
