The Right Way to Eat an Orange
Posted on February 29, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
Outside our house, we have an orange tree and every day, Dorian wants an orange. Today was no exception. So Irving went and got him an orange and cut it up and gave it to him. Dorian burst into tears.

It´s amazing what a little thing like having decent clothes can do for a woman. It´s no secret that I´ve gained more than a little weight since having two babies so close together and in my stubborness to admit that I simply can´t fit into my old pants, I have been refusing to buy new [...]
For Everything a Day
Posted on February 25, 2008 - Filed Under Personal, Simple Life | 3 Comments
Ok, I´ve decided to try something new in my attempt to get organized. Assigning tasks to a day. You know that old nursery song that goes something like “Today is Monday, Monday washing, Monday washing, Today is Tuesday, Tuesday baking, Tuesday baking”? Well, maybe they had it right.

Irving came home from getting the tortillas today and he had a furry, bouncy puppy in his arms . . . a very, very cute one. Dorian was instantly enthralled and wanted to play with it, so Irving put the puppy on the floor and Zanelle (our niece) came running in. I assumed it was [...]

Dream Day English, Anyone?
Posted on February 20, 2008 - Filed Under Guatemala | 1 Comment
I discovered the game Dream Day Honeymoon a while back, but Irving just rediscovered it . . . and he´s TOTALLY addicted. To the point of playing it instead of eating! It´s so funny to see him hunting through a dress shop, looking for that elusive maple leaf.
However, the game is in English. [...]
