I know; it’s been forever since I started the trip summary, and I only made it to Oxford. It’s so sad, but when I was on the actual trip, and visit all this gorgeous places, I’d think, “I’ll write this in my blog…” and compose these stylish and poetic sentences in my mind. A month […]

Well, I’ve finally made the time to sit down and make a summary of our wonderful trip to London and Scotland. Before I post anything else I should say that the kids and Adriana were just wonderful; they all behaved really well and Adriana was a ton of help. We loved having her with us. […]

We just came back from the Harry Potter themed banquet. I promise I’ll write all the details of the trip in London and here in Scotland later. I can’t believe I’ll be reading the book in about 26 hours! It’s amazing. We’re also totally, completely, utterly tired. Joax has been like in his worse days. […]

Last week was my friend Iris’ 80th birthday. Barbara, her daughter and my neighbor, organized this beautiful surprise party for her. The backyard looked beautiful, all in purple and mango (Iris’ favorite color). I know purple and orange is not an usual combination, but it looked gorgeous! Iris felt like a quinceanera she said.

These last few days have been pretty hard healthwise. Both Jeff and I got the flu, and we could hardly function. I wanted to sleep all day, which of course I coudn’t do because I have 4 little ones to take care of. Thank goodness I got over it, and even though Jeff was feeling […]
