Happy Easter!

Easter is a bit different around here, but I try to keep the traditions alive. I hid some eggs, we painted some eggs, and I also hid her Easter Basket with some yummy goodies and a fun Dora Painting book that Nana sent. Needless to say she was very happy. The whole day I kept telling her " Jesus is alive, Jesus loves you." I think she knows. She is sugared out and she wanted to open up her chocolate bunny. I said no and then she went into the other room and Antonio said, " What did mommy say? And Nora said, " yes" so I walked in and saw her eating it ......ok let the manipulation begin! She is a smart smart cookie. Anyways.......... It's always incredible every time I see the crucifixion scene on any movie. To see with your own eyes what Jesus actually went through physically is impacting. And I'm sure it was much worse than any movie has ever portrayed. No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Thank you JESUS for dying for mine! Happy Easter!

My Loves

Aren't they cute???

Nutso

It has been nutty around here lately. I have been working non-stop. So, have I told you about my new job at HOLA USA? You can check out the website at HOLAUSA.es We send Spanish kids to study in the USA. I have been reviewing their applications and looking at our website from some of their photos of earlier experiences they have had. I saw some pictures from a girl who went to prom and I teared up! How cool would it be to have that experience? After living here for eight years I know how different the two cultures are and to live ¨The American Dream¨ for a year would definitely change your life forever. I hope my daughter can study abroad when she gets older so she can be more ¨Americanized.¨ha. It also makes me want to have a student in my home! Anyways, just work around here these days and a stomach bug I have been trying to get over for three days. I feel like my insides are being ripped out! Oh, and it´s been rainy for like 2 weeks straight! N is growing like a weed and says really funny stuff and sometimes it is indeed a bit of ¨Spanglish¨ xoxo
