Catching up.

We're still here in the mountains, enjoying this super hot summer.  

*Last night we took the kids to see Cars 2. Diego spent half of the time narrating the movie. Once in a while when he got bored he said: YOU KNOW? I LOVE THAT MOVIE RANGO! Totally unrelated, but that's Diego :) But then he got right back into narrating. We're always worry that people are going to get mad at our little loud boy, but they seem to find it funny in the end.

*Bill's foot is recovering really well and fast. It's amazing, very soon he will start taking tango lessons (I wish! :o)

*I few days ago Natalie told me that she wanted to have a sister! But since Bill and I are already done with the baby production we came out with a creative solution. I said that once in a while I could pretend being her big sister. She loved it! So now, once in a while I play my new character and it's lots of fun. Natalie gave me a nickname that I don't even know how to spell but it sounds like a pet's name. 

*We haven't made a single handmade book as we planned before this vacation started :o

*But in my free time I have been painting a couple of canvases for my solo show in Puerto Rico in December. I can't wait to share them with you!

*Diego composed his first song ever at a restaurant the other day. When he got his paper and crayons, instead of drawing he started composing the song. It goes like this: "Don't you leave me here. What is that stinky smell, America? aaaaaa, aaaaaa, aaaaaa. Life is beautiful." He sang the song over and over again, with a very serious face following the written text on the paper. Fortunately there was a loud table next to us with a group of people celebrating a birthday party or something like that, so we didn't have to take our singer outside.

*Last night it was bug attack! For some reason our cabin was full of bugs flying all over the place and making noise. The kids were asleep while Bill and I were trying to kill them. It reminded me of The Birds with bugs instead of birds. In the morning they were gone. I wonder if they're planning to come back tonight :0

*And last but not least our Internet was dead for days. But a man in a motorcycle came to fix it. Diego asked him with a loud voice: WHAT'S YOUR NAME SIR? Fortunately he was really fun and responded great. Some people don't get Diego's sense of humor. And best of all the Internet was fixed thanks to him realizing that we had plugged something into the wrong place.

Now I have to go. It's getting dark and... Wait!!! I see bugs coming into our cabin again!!!! Help!!!!!!! If I never come back here you will know why!!!!!

the bugs have heard that their is an amazing family with talented artists, musicians and comedians and have just come to see, smell and perhaps even taste it for themselves:)
Can you blame them?

To see a world in a grain of sand，
And a heaven in a wild fllower，
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand，
And eternity in an hour.
