Celebrating

We had several things to celebrate in past month.

The girls helped me make a birthday celebration in their Grandpa's honor:

We joined in on the 15th of September to celebrate el patria:

We celebrated my Dad again, on the third anniversary of his passing by making a fancy Peking Duck dinner:

And we accompanied my brother in law to formally ask for his fiance's hand in marriage with all of her family:

 Hope your families are celebrating each other whenever they can!

The rain jinx!

This was the post I started yesterday... It musthave made the rain gods angry because today beforeI could finish it it started raining. Oh, and hailing. Love you Mexico City summer!


It was titled "Here comes the sun...."

"And I'd say- its alright..."

We have enjoyed a suprising two day reprive from Mexico City's wet, lame, and dreary version of summer.

And what does any good mama with kiddos do? Go to the park!

This is our nearest park. This was also the first and last time we will be taking our camera with us, I got quite the lecture when the man found out. He is right, but come on! I have to document the girls park, right?!

Wind farm opens in northern Mexico

Thought this was cool. I don't know any specifics but three cheers for alternative energy!

Going to the Cuidadela tomorrow!

Sooooo excited!

LINK HERE I have been telling Papito that I "need" to go there before our flight home for a visit, but he lkeeps making reasons why we cant go. So I told him this morning that I was going alone with the girls tomorrow, he was welcome to join. I also reminded him tomorrow is my birthday, and if he doesnt accompany me on my birthday..... Well, there would be hell to pay. Tonight he told me he found someone who knows downtown better to drive us (him as well) . Bwahaha I win!

Also had a GREAT convo with my suegra (mother in law) today, she won about 100 points in my book. Needless to say, she is on my side more than I realized. It deserves its own post, in time.

Tomorrow, shopping we go!

On a sweeter note
