Puerto Rico, 2009


Jose, Joshua and I went to visit Jose's son, Antonio, in Puerto Rico from July 9 - July 13. It was very nice to see him, but a short trip. We had never seen him before, so this was a nice opportunity for us. We also got to see many wonderful places on the island. We stayed on Isla Verde, which is close to Condado Beach. The first day we went to get Antonio's passport and then went to the beach. Joshua had so much fun on the beach it was hard to get him to leave! The next day, Saturday, we went to Antonio's birthday party. The family had reserved the pool at his grandparent's subdivision for the party. It was really nice. Joshua once again had a blast at the pool. He pretty much taught himself how to swim. Joshua and I went to the Walgreen's by our hotel that night to pick up a few things. The next day we went to El Yunque, which is in the Caribbean National Forest. We walked up a trail and saw some of the forest. It took us forever to get home because of traffic, so we went back to the hotel and then out to eat at Chili's. The boys practically fell asleep in their chairs! The next morning Jose took them swimming while I packed our bags. Our flight home was good, no turbulance or anything. It was a short trip and we look forward to go again and spend more time there.

Blogging again


Wow, I have not blogged in a long time. Not since Christmas! I really enjoy reading these after I've written them, it's like a diary for me. I don't even care if no one else ever reads it. I want to keep it for myself. I have so many things I want to write about - my kids, my husband, school, etc. Just life in general. Anyway, I'm going to try to be much better with keeping up with this blog thing. I'm going to try to add a photo today, so we'll see if I can do it correctly. We have decided to get a dog from the humane society. His name is Bo and he is currently in foster care. We are going to get him on Monday, so 4 more days. I just added a photo and I think I did it so that you will be able to see it!!

We are watching my sister's son Brendan right now. He has been here since last Wednesday. He'll be here for about 10 days total. That's why we are waiting to get Bo. We think that it will be easier to introduce Bo to our family once Brendan is back home with his mom and dad. So I'm going to post this and see if it looks right. Wish me luck!
