This One’s for Lisa

On Friday, we met up with a blog reader in the park. She’d brought us a suitcase for our trip and some dehumidifying crystals to help keep mold at bay. Dorian and I had already met her before when she brought down some books, but this time she got to meet Dante, too.
You were right, [...]

New Books!

A sweet blog reader left these for us the other day:

The boys were enthralled!

(please excuse Dorian’s hair, he’d just bathed)

“Plethosaurawha….?”

Thanks, Caroline! You’ve kept my boys very busy on these rainy afternoons!

Want Some Guatemalan Stuff?

Michele was down here in Guatemala for a while and we met up a couple of weeks ago. I’ve put off posting about it because I’ve been too busy to edit photos (hence the lack of photos in posts recently). We had an AWESOME time with her and her family (and extended family) at a [...]

Come Hang Out at El Muro!

Posted on May 27, 2010 - Filed Under Friends, Fun, Guatemala | 1 Comment

I very, very rarely go out. But tomorrow, Friday, I’m going to head over to El Muro in Antigua, for their grand re-opening. Friends of mine, Max, Ann and John, recently bought the place and they are going to be rocking it out for their first night in the bar!
There will be live music, great [...]

My boys are loving having their aunt here. Dante has never met any of my family, while Dorian saw Sarah when he was one and doesn’t remember her.
When he first saw her, he yelled, “MAMaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah” trailing off and staring at her with suspicious eyes. They quickly warmed up though . . the piles of [...]

Waterbabies

We had a little change of plans on our vacation and didn’t go to the beach, but to a little summer house with friends. The pool there was a little green . . .

It was also very hot and humid, since we were at a much lower altitude than Antigua. This is where it [...]

Know What’s Awesome?

Having great blog readers and friends like you guys. Seriously. Let’s take a look at some of the ways my readers have blessed me recently.
A few weeks back, I hit a rough spot and while I didn’t publish anything on what I was going through, I received tons of comments and emails offering support and [...]

The World Really is Small

Posted on April 19, 2010 - Filed Under Friends, Guatemala | 4 Comments

I’ve met several of my blog readers, which isn’t terribly surprising since the majority of people find my blog because they are looking for information on coming to Guatemala. But the other day, something really cool happened.
It started on Facebook. My sister connected with someone we knew when we were just tiny and so [...]

Zum, Zum, Zumba!

My friend, Ann, and I have been thinking about how to lose weight together for a while. Neither of us feels comfortable in a gym, because, let’s face it, that’s where skinny people go to look even better! I’ve seen slightly pudgy people in the gym, but I’ve never seen someone who weighs more than [...]

We Went Camping

Posted on February 11, 2010 - Filed Under Friends, Guatemala, Kids, Personal, Simple Life | 9 Comments

We went camping this past weekend with some friends. It was supposed to be two days of fun, but our car was still in the shop and didn’t get out til 4pm, long after the other two families had left. We finally got packed into the car and headed out, only to have the car [...]
