We hired a new nanny on Tuesday (the 18th). She is awesome! The kids love her.
Her name is Marcela, she’s 18 and speaks mostly spanish, but she’s learning english. We actually keep a laptop in the kitchen and have Google translate opened all the time so we can communicate. It works [...]
Tonight as I was undressing the boys for their bath Jimmy got into the toilet paper. So I took my eyes off Peter for a minute to save the T.P. When I turned back around Peter had pulled himself up to the bathtub and was just standing there. He hasn’t pulled himself [...]
Peter is 10 months old today. He figured out how to crawl forward this last week. He’s still not very fast but I’m sure he’ll catch me off guard in the next few days and just zoom across the room. Here’s a few pictures that I took of him today.

On Saturday the 8th we took the boys to the mall and rode the Merry-go-round for awhile. Something weird happened and I’m not sure what to make of it. We got ice cream and later some pizza but when we fed some to the kids people were shocked or maybe amazed. I [...]

We took Jimmy to a bar and grill last night here in Costa Rica.
There is a play area and the restaurant side is separated fairly well from the bar side.
However, Jimmy got bored with the play area and started wondering around looking at all of the pictures of soccer stars and antiques in the place. [...]
The other day when we were in the hotel Jimmy kept playing with the air conditioner. Turning it off, turning it on, pushing all the buttons. Then one of the times I looked over he was sticking one of his toys in the vent. So I said “oh you little stinker” removed [...]
On the 4th we flew out to Costa Rica. The boys did great on the plane!! I was very proud of them! On the 5th we found a cute little rental out in Heredia, it’s near San Jose. We also found the Wal-mart (they call it Hiper Mas though) and stocked [...]
For Labor Day Weekend my family came up to our house. They set up a little camp down on the flat area of our land. We had dutch oven cooked dinner and sat around in camp chairs. Jimmy spent most of the time climbing all over the four wheelers. We still [...]
