I just got back from Antigua where we met up with a woman who is adopting a beautiful baby girl from here. This woman and I started talking a week ago, when our kids started playing together (she also has a 5 year old son), and she told me that she was leaving soon.

I finally figured out how to use Facebook! Sort of. I´m so bad with the whole Web 2.0 thing, I guess I´m too old for all these new tricks.

Would you like to know where my dear husband found the battery charger this morning? (After I threatened to buy a new one instead of cement for the house!)

Messy Stuff

Do you let your kids play in the mud? Here in Guatemala, playing with water, dirt or anything that might smudge you seems to be considered hazardous. My in-laws are convinced that Dorian is going to die because I let him play outside, horror of horrors!
Really, my son hasn’t played a lot outdoors since it [...]
