Boots

Hazel didn't care that it is well over 90 degrees and humid today...she just had to wear her new boots! We found them at a flea market...$2!

Happy Birthday Joe!

Today is Joe's birthday!  We have a fiesta (enchilada feast) planned for Joe but it will have to wait until his next day off!

Happy Birthday Joe, WE LOVE YOU!  We have been through a lot, and this summer was NO exception but I know that God is our rock, and I am excited about what he is doing in our lives. You are amazing!!! So looking forward to new adventures this coming year!  Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!! 

Love,
Mon/Hazel/Jade

Paletas

We discovered a place called La Michoacana about 40 minutes from our home that sells homemade ice cream of the Mexican variety. We decided on watermelon for Hazel, coconut for Jade, and Tamarindo for Joe. It reminded me of growing up hearing the jingle of the paleta man outside. He was the ice cream man in our neighborhood. My favorite is actually chili cucumber but my stomach could not handle it that day so I shared coconut with Jade. It was a nice little treat that made me feel a little bit at home even if the store called them popsicles, for all the gringos. I chatted with an employee who was from Oxnard, Ca. She even pointed to a truck outside that had a LA Dodgers license plate holder, belonging to her brother. Oh, I missed Cali so much, but the paleta and the friendly conversation helped!

Happy Sunday!
