8th Birthday Party

The girls celebrated their birthday with their closest friends on Saturday April 25th.  They did pottery painting at As You Wish.  Special guest appearance by Tia Vanessa and Jerico!  They came for the weekend to attend VIP day at the girls' school and of course to celebrate their birthday.
 







 

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY EVA AND SOFIA!!!!

Today, Tuesday, April 28th, my two babies turn 8 years old!  Every year that goes by, I am amazed and so proud of how they are growing, maturing, and changing.  They give my life such joy and energy.  They are truly a blessing from God.  My two little girls, Mama and Papa love you so much!
Happy Birthday Eva and Sofia!!!

COSTA RICA!!

For spring break, we took a trip to Costa Rica.  We have a cousin who lives there with his family. 
What an amazing, beautiful, and unforgettable vacation.  We did so much every single day, that the time flew by.  We arrived April 1st at night and left April 10th early in the morning. 
Augusto and Carla and their kids were one of the main reasons we had such a great time.  They are the perfect hosts.  Los queremos mucho y los extranamos mucho mas!!
 
Here is a quick look at all we did and the fun and beauty of this country.

There really isn't enough space for me to put all the amazing pictures that we took on this trip.  Nor will any picture do what we saw with our eyes, any justice.  All I can say to you, is, go visit Costa Rica.  It will be one of the most memorable and wonderful trips you will take.
