Emmalee, Teacher for the Day

Emmalee was teacher for morning rug time. I got to see her teach and their classroom's morning routine. She did a great job.

Charles and I have an announcement

So, Charles and I have an announcement to make. About four weeks ago we were on our way to church and in a parking lot we saw two puppies. So we stopped to look at them and then silly us decided to take the female. During Sacrament meeting Zach kept saying "She's crying, listen I can hear her." All the kids couldn't settle down for the meeting, they were so excited to go out and play with her.

Lupita, a mini toy french poodle, was born on December 21, 2009. She loves the kids and could careless about me or Charles. She whimpers all day until the kids come home from school. I would pet her and try to play with her but I am not good enough for her. We love her and she has been an interesting surprise for us.

To San Miguel for Icecream

Our day trips are now becoming about Ice cream. The kids like to go because they think they are sure to get some ice cream if they are good. They have fresh fruit Popsicles also, strawberry, coconut, mango, orange, etc... and it will have chunks of the fruit in it. So good, come try one.

Wood Town

I really like this town. I have to laugh cause I never remember its real name, I just call it wood town. So far I have a queen bedroom set, coffee table and end tables and now I have ordered a table with four chairs. After each one we bought Charles will say no more but we can't help ourselves. They make beautiful, solid wood furniture that is hand carved. I like how they will stack everything up in their trucks to transport it to the different stores.

Emmalee's Ocean Report

This year Emmalee learned about the Ocean. This is her class report and songs they learned. She did very good and had a lot of fun.

Tarandacuao

We went to Tarandacuao with our newcomers club to see a shop that makes Javiar Servin pottery. It is my favorite from Mexico. Charles bought me a tea set and many other items. They can be very detailed and are completely hand made. It was very fun to see them make the items. You can stay at one of their two cottages and take classes to learn how to make this. Their grounds are very beautiful and the pieces of the pottery that are not to their standard of quality will be made in waterfountains, stairs, decorative floor, ect... through their shop and gardens.

San Joaquin, again!

Hanging Out!

I forgot to put this on the Puebla trip last post so I will put it here.
