Easter 2010





We had a nice laid back Easter this year. They don't do Easter baskets here so the kids were out of luck. Noah was the only one who even remembered and asked where the baskets were. He soon forgot his disappointment when he saw that we still had Easter eggs! What a challenge!! We weren't able to get to a butcher, which are the only places white eggs are available, so we went on with brown eggs. Our choice of egg dye was plain old food coloring. They didn't turn out nearly as bold and beautiful as we may have wanted, but they were still pretty!







Once Tristan and Brennan were napping we hid the eggs for Noah... and then for us... and then for Tristan... and then for us again. We had a good time. Big kids + Easter eggs = fun! Tom was cracking up because Noah was finding more eggs than him... although he did help hide them so that may have contributed. We even made Sergio and Laura find eggs when they arrived, after sundown. We were kind enough to provide flashlights ;)









I was able to get a quick photo shoot of the boys. Adriana wanted some taken with them as well and they turned out pretty good I think. Next time NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT. I tried to get us in the shade, but I missed the mark a bit. Oh well, they're still adorable :)

It looks like you were still able to make it a blast even without all the extra stuff American stores have :) I love egg hunts!

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Our 4th Anniversary

Image
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born.
