A new comera in anticipation of another visit back to Guatemala

We got a new camera this week.  All for the trip to Guatemala this summer.  All tickets have been bought and the hotel room booked and now the count down begins until we leave.  We just have to make it through Spring Break this week and the count down begins in earnest.

 

Rocket colored eggs today while I played with the camera.  Ignore the mess, I was still working on cleaning up and organizing

He had 15 eggs to start with, then one dropped on the floor so I had to eat it before it was colored.

Pablo just wants to have some food- he will eat anything.

 pm:Hyacinths in the front yard. I definitely needed to have the flash on.  This was at 7:45 pm

Pablo on Wednesday on the back porch

I love this little doggie.  He is getting very grey around his muzzle as he ages.

The boy on Wednesday telling me to stop taking pictures (hehehehe - not going to happen kiddo)

trying to take pictures of the rain drops on the tree

rain drops on the tree.  I liked the way the rain drops looked like ice drops on the red branches.

 

The boy coming home on Thursday- last day of school before Spring Break.  He did not see me until this point.  I wanted to see how defined the pictures would be

Looking in the door at me.

In the door and with the flash.  Yes, he still has braces and he is not happy about it.  He wants them off before we go to Guatemala and that might not happen.  All he wants is to chew gum right now.

Me and Pablo.  I am answering emails on my phone for work and Pablo is keeping me warm.

Silly doggie.  Rocket had Pablo's 'baby' on his head.  the baby is a stuffed animal that Pablo has ripped all the stuffing out and started chewing the animal up.  he loves his babies.

Last night, I took the boy out for ice cream - the local soft serve opened for the season on Tuesday.  Rocket is playing soccer again this year and his practices are very close to the ice cream store.  I foresee ice cream once a week after practice.

 

well that's all for today.  Popi and familia- I am sending you an email this weekend with the details about our trip back to see you. 

 

Happy Easter to all,
