editing older posts- you might see changes

 I lost my computer hard drive and lost the last 13 years of photos.  This has really shown me that I need to clean up the blog and get it printed out into photo books for the young man.   So over the next few months, I will be editing older posts- cleaning up mis-spellings, grammar, etc in preparation for downloading the blog and getting it printed out for him.  

I am not sure there will be any other updates to this blog- most of our lives are documented on FB or Instagram.

Senior Prom 2023

 The boys went to prom with his girlfriend, her friend and his best friend last night.   The plan was to meet at the GF's house, then take pictures and then head downtown for pictures at Smale Park along the river.  The boy's car was in the repair shop so I was the driver for the teens.  

Friend and the boy

The boy and his girlfriend.  They have been dating since September.  She is a year younger than the boy so she has another year of high school after this year.

the friend and his date (the GF's friend)

the kids.  They are good kids.  the friend was voted prom king.  Since the boys go to an all-boys school, there is only a prom king, no prom queen.

one of the best pictures from the park.  the pictures from the park are great because of everything being in bloom.  the rain held off until I went to pick up the kids at 10:00 pm and then it pour the rest of the night.  The kids watched a movie at the GF's house until 1 am and then I picked up the boy.  He slept until 10:30 am this morning.

Pictures from the park are coming later today in another post.

love to you,

Guatemala 2022

 Pictures are coming tomorrow.   

The boy, his friend and I travelled back to Guatemala the week after Christmas.  We missed out flight on Monday, 26Dec due to delays at the airport, but got out on 27Dec.  We spent a great week in Guatemala, leaving on 01Jan2023.

The weather was great, we saw the volcanoes- no erruptions. There was a huge amount of traffic.  Per the boy's foster family indicated that during the pandemic may people bought cars to avoid being on the buses.  I have never seen traffic like this.  One night it took us 90 minutes to go from Antigua to Guatemala City where normally it takes 45 minutes.

It was fantastic to see most of the family.  We spent multiple adventures with Popi, Momi and Andrea (plus her novio, Hugo) and then Susi and Joel.  So much fun.

I took a ton of pictures and I am still trying to get the boy's pictures so I can add to my collection.  

Love and hugs,
