We love our avocados!! Lily tried some yesterday, and she loves them, too! I can't get the boys to even try them...I made a delicious guacamole on Sunday (Using my fresh cilantro from my little herb garden in a pot, an onion, salt and juice from a key lime), and they both just turn up there noses (I think it's the green color). Luis and I ate the whole thing! I was the same was when I first met Luis...HATED guacamole/avocados. Then, eventually, I kept trying them, and voila! Love them. I wish they grew around here, but *sigh* I'd need a greenhouse (and a green thumb)! They grow great down in Ixtlan...hmmm...road trip!



By the way, how do you like my view from the kitchen window??

Bath Time!!



Park Pictures

After our work day at church, we took a drive to Williamston, the next town over. We found a fun park for the kids, and snapped some shots. Lily even got in the swing for the first time!

So, I finally found new dishes that I love...since "Parra" means grapevine/vineyard, I wanted to go with that theme for the kitchen. So, here's one of my new plates (with my yummy lunch)...sappy, I know...

Jonathan's big boy haircut!

Jonathan got his hair cut at church (of all places) yesterday before our service. One of the men cuts hair for $8.00...I have to say this was the best haircut he has ever had, hands down. He looks so much older now...






Here's a picture of Jonathan and his buddy Matthew from church. They were "cruising" at the park the other day.
