Catching up

Here is a quick catch-up of pictures from the past couple of weeks. Not sure how much posting I'll be able to do with the moving madness soon approaching, but I will try my best to keep the updates coming.


Alexia tried to hitch a ride to London, but it didn't work. She loved hanging out in the suitcase though. As soon as Ricardo had his things packed, she scooted over and showed her disapproval of his travel by quickly pulling out his pants and shirts.



Happy girl minutes after waking up!

This past Friday we met some friends at the zoo and had a great time. Diego absolutely loves going to the zoo and gets so excited to see the animals. This was the first time that we went to the petting zoo and it was awesome. Diego had a blast brushing the pigs, sheep and goats and Alexia went completely wild when she saw the animals up close. It was the cutest thing ever; she was squealing and chuckling, but when I let her touch the animals, she was hysterical with laughter. I really wish I would've had my other camera to take a video clip because it was so cute. We thoroughly scrubbed the children's hand and then went for a ride on the choo-choo which was definitely a highlight.

Some dear friends from church had us to their home for dinner last Friday. They were so excited to pull out toys from when their children were little and they even had their boy's first highchair. Diego loved sitting in the special chair and sat through the whole dinner with us and did a great job. Alexia sat next to me in her booster seat/highchair and also had very good manners and behaved through the meal. Mrs Fowler is a beautiful pianist and when Diego saw the piano he asked if she could play for him. After dinner, we all stood around the piano and sang while she played - it was a really special time.

Tio Luis brought Diego this adorable outfit from El Salvador two weeks ago. We have never had an outfit like this for him (since he's been a "big boy," that is). At first it seemed a bit "out of character," but after a little while I melted every time I looked at him - I thought he looked just precious.
