And he is off to school . . .

Adam left this morning for work and will go straight from work to school tonight. The new semester has begun and I am a single mom again. Adam has class Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6-10pm so he leaves on Tuesday morning and comes home Friday afternoon. It is a crazy schedule for him! Maybe it's bad of me but part of me looks forward to the time by myself. So every Tuesday that Adam is in school, I am excited for some alone time but by Thursday night I am so frazzled and ready for Daddy to come home so I can relax. But, he is also ready to come home and relax! We both can't relax. One of us has to be taking care of whirlwind #1 and whirlwind #2. Working that out can sometimes be hard. I need some ideas of fun things to do with the kids! Anyone got any good ideas?

My brother's engaged!

My little brother is getting married!!! Can you believe it? I knew this day would come eventually but it really hit me like a ton of bricks. Anyway, they are getting married September 18th (a special day for me because it is Chile's Independence day) - in 3 SHORT weeks! They got engaged 3 weeks ago and we are so excited for both of them. Her name is Alejandra (Ale or Alex for short) and she is from Bolivia. I took their engagement pictures the other day. Here are a few of the results. Remember that I am not a professional photographer (although I would love to learn). I thought some of them were pretty good for my first attempt! :)
