Sleep Deprivation

The tireder I feel, the more the kid wakes up in the middle of the night. (Iknow tireder is not a word).

In Mexico City with good friends.

Our "New" Playroom

I cleaned out our storage room and Dany helped me paint it and now we have a new and larger play area for Alex and Santi. They LOVE it.

Patricio's b-day party

Fun with Asher and Hanna

Parque Loro

We happened upon Chalchihuapan.

Chall-Chee-Waw-Pon. The cows parted the way for us as we drove up what became a very steep and bumpy path. At the top we found a beautiful church and lots of paramotors(paramotorers?). I had never seen anything like them before. They fly seated in little pods. We hadn't planned on going up but Alex saw them and said "Mommy, look, umbrellas." It was kind of an adventure for him and us too because we drove up as far as we could on this mountain and then cimbed up higher to watch the paramotors. It was almost dusk so some were landing but a few sailed on into the sunset.

Bright Eyes

Alex: (in the backseat of the car on the way home from the supermarket) Mommy, I found Burger King!
Me: Wow Alex, you sure have some bright eyes (meaning to say sharp of course)
Alex: Hey Mommy, I don't have bright eyes, I have brown eyes!

Alex was climbing the steps a few days ago and started singing "Yo se que puedo volar....." (I believe I can fly...)

Alex keeps telling Daniel to speak English to him. Papi!!! Speak English! I asked him which language he likes better and he said English. It's funny how he knows who to speak which language to, though. I tell him to tell someone thank you in public and he'll say "gracias".

Yesterday after church, when we got Alex from his class, he told his teachers "gracias por venir"
(thanks for coming!)

When Daniel brought home our newly purchased car last week, Alex looked at it and said, "NO, I didn't want that one, I wanted a yellow one. " (random)

New Car!

Can you tell Santi got a haircut?

Alex: Mommy, tell me a story. (He's into me telling him random stories about whatever he sees lately, for example: Mommy, tell me a story about a ...ummmm....telephone)
Me: Why don't you tell me a story.
Alex: Oh, ok. Once a time there was a plate.
Me: What was it's name?
Alex: ummmm, Chicken. Once a time there was a plate named chicken. He played outside. One day his mommy told him to do (something unintelligible). The end.
Me: That was a good story.
Alex: Yeah, that was a good story, Mommy.

I want to post pictures... I'm waiting for my new camera since Alex slammed ours down on the ground :( I know it was an accident but I'm dying for everyone to see my Santi sitting up so straight and with bananas all over his face and Alex dancing and playing with puzzles and etc. etc. etc.

Instead though, I'll give you an update of a hilarious comment that we heard lately:

We're watching the news and see the Bushes.
Alex: Hey Mommy, it's grandpa! And there's grandma too!!!
