We headed over to Hermano's for the 4th annual reunion of the boys.  These are the boys that Mireya and Carlos fostered.  It is so fantastic that we all live within 2 hours of each other.  The weather was cool, but not rainy, so we headed out for walk in the woods. 

The boys- D, D's sister A, Bug, C and Hermano.  last yeas, Bug was having nothing to do with climbing on the tree- this year he was all for it.

My happy little man.  I can see the man he will be in this face.  Thank you Popi for loving him and showing him how to be a good man.  the first 2 years of his life- the critical time of his development, were shaped by your love and your family's love.  Thank you so much is so inadequate, but it is all I have.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for Bug when he was the most helpless.

 The boys- in the order they came home- we did not even plan it, that is just how they got on the log.

 D- I thought for sure he was going to jump off here, but he was content to talk to his dad

 Bug was trying to figure out how to get past this cut in the tree to go higher.

 Happy boys

 Serious boys

 Hermano was done with pictures and actually told us to stop. 

 We tried to lure him back into the group photo with the option to make silly faces at the camera.  No dice there, but the others enjoyed it.
