Carnaval

This Tuesday is Carnaval, and since they don't go back to school till Wednesday, all the kids at school dressed up Friday afternoon to celebrate. Abigail was Sleeping Beauty and wore her flower girl dress from Eric and Jenni's wedding. In this picture she's hugging her friend Julia(in blue). Julia's younger sister, Sofia is in the orange, and Dahiala, Betty's daughter is wearing the pink mask. I think they are all such cuties!

Veggie Time!

Last night Eden ate her first ever vegetable - zucchini - and she loved it. So here are a few photos of her first experience of going green:

Wow, were we sick

I got away from the blog a bit because our whole team was hit (and the Baileys are still recovering!) with a nasty virus. And even worse it coincided with a visit from our friends the Hansens. So, the first two days Matt and I were the world's worst hosts - "Here, take a map and go enjoy the city while we stay inside and lay on the couch." We even cancelled Isa's birthday party on Saturday. Finally by Sunday we were able to hang out with them some more. Yesterday we were almost normal except that I now have no voice. What horrible timing!

You know you have three girls when. . .

. . . you can do an entire load of laundry and every item in the load is pink.

Seriously, last night I washed a load of the girls' clothes that was all pink. I now have four piles whe I sort laundry: whites, darks, lights, and PINK.

Wow.

Latte Art

Chris, a barista from Arizona is here to help us out till the end of February, and he has introduced me to the world of latte art. In trying to find a page on how exactly to do this kind of thing with my café con leche, I found these very cool pics by tonx on flickr. Definitely worth a look. If I come up with anything worth a photo, don't worry, I'll post it.
