I am so bummed that my phone is no longer sending pictures/posts to the blog :(  I need to spend some time to figure this problem out, but meanwhile I have uploaded several pictures from my phone from the past month.  My heart aches a little bit when I think of how I am taking way fewer pictures these days and writing so much less on the blog, but the ache is relieved when I am reminded that I am soaking up these amazing days of our children's youth.  God is so good and my cup is full.

Enjoying their smoothies on the counter one morning.  We took a little video to say good morning to Ricardo when he was traveling.

 Aldo and Eliana came over for dinner a couple of weeks ago.  We are enjoying our new table that seats TEN people!

 Enjoying cupcakes at Ellie's birthday party.  Alexia was dressed up as a fairy, per the request of the birthday girl.

 We took Tio Diego out to lunch at Village Burger and the sun was too bright for Alexia to smile

 The girls in purple dresses

 Two very happy girls at Michaela's birthday party

 We had a blast at our church's VBS.  More on that later!

 Marco and Callen = best buds!

 Diego and his uncles!

 Marco LOVES babies!!!

 We took Tio Roby to Highlands, North Carolina last weekend for a getaway and we had a great time!  Here's our big boy cutting his nails on the front porch

 Marco hiked like you wouldn't believe!

 Enjoying ice cream in the town of Highlands

Sorry for the super brief comments, but I wanted to at least share some pictures of what we've been up to.  I have lots more to share including: how great it's been to have Tio Diego living with us, how Ricardo and Diego went to Miami on Saturday to see the Chelsea v Milan soccer match (!), how we had a great time with Tio Roby when he was here for a week, how Marco is talking so much more and how Alexia is going through a stage of "Frightening Fours" (think terrible twos times two!)
