Colombian Family Reunion

We spent the past week in the Poconos with our Colombian Family, with 3 new little members that we did not have when we began 4 years ago (it is amazing to see how time flies and life changes in great ways)...it was such a wonderful time to catch up on the past year apart...we spent our time talking, eating, playing, enjoying the kids, reminiscing about the past and hoping for the future. The week came to an end too quickly...as we know that we won't see each other for another year. Alan and I are so thankful for the "family" that we have from our time living in Colombia...they will always be close to our hearts!! We love you Gabe, Erin, Noah and Isa/Iris?, Ben, Sarah, and Katie, Kim and Suzy (and those who couldn't make it...Andres, Joy and Raul)...and can't wait to see you SOON!!

Summer Fun

Alan, Oak, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather and all of the fun activities that come with summer...the beaches, the parks, BBQ's, picnics, walks, hikes, and bike rides...and of course, ice cream! Some of Oak's favorite summer activities are riding in the backpack carrier, high enough up that he can reach the leaves of the trees (this is usually on daddy's back), swinging, and squeezing sand between his fingers and toes! We are having so much fun!!
