Nico´s Christmas Program

Here is the chaos when all the kids finally got to the front. Most started crying on their way up after seeing their parents.










Here is Samuel, Nico and I with his teacher María.












Nico had more fun when it was all done playing the tamborine (quite possible this is misspelled) and singing by himself.











Here is Samuel and Nico with his BFF, also named Samuel.













All happy as we are going to be leaving the building.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
¡Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año!

PS: Sorry for the delay recently with updates. Between computer and camera problems we have had them all.

Happy Halloween!

The pictures are backward so let´s start with the finished pumpkin.









Nico was very proud of his pumpkin(calabaza).









Carving the pumpkin.










Old fashion drawing the face on before carving.










Helping clean out the insides.















Since we had recently celebrated 3 birthdays in the family, Nicolas assumes that if there is a candle it is time to sing Happy Birthday (Cumpleaños Feliz) and blow out the candle.

Happy Birthday Samuel!

Hello everyone...I´m ready to go. (By the way not a new birthmark on his lip it is a scab from when he fell running on the sidewalk this weekend.)














Peeking around the corner..balloon in hand.













He wears just a plain white tee under the sweatshirt. Easier to bleach and get out stains. He also wears an apron/robe thing to keep his uniform clean. He didn´t want to put it on this morning maybe another day.
