Our family from Mexico spent the whole day shopping yesterday. I think all the women were very happy with that. I am not so sure about Tio Jorge and all the kids. It is really great to have them here. The reality is that we are pretty content just sitting around talking about life. Today, I think the plan is to take Jorgito, Valeria, and Brandon shopping. One thing that is kind of funny is that, a lot of the time, the Mexicans pronouce Valeria in the gringo pronunciation with the accent on the first “a”. Every time I hear that I think “what a waste”. To me, Valeria with the accent on the “e” in the Mexican pronunciation sounds way more exotic!

Shopping? Who in their right mind would not LOVE shopping???
I am glad you all are enjoying your family visit. I must admit when I look at the name Valeria, I say the accent on the “e” as well. I am glad you explained that.
The cat tower is cool.
Enjoy your week!

PS — Today Michaela went to Chuck E Cheese with a couple of friends to celebrate her birthday (albeit a little bit late), and I asked sort of nonchalantly wouldn’t everyone rather go to Goodwill and shop all afternoon. You should have heard the screams of NOOOOOOOO and MOM!!!
I think I know what you mean about the shopping stuff. 😉
Happy Birthday PRINCESS OF THE UNIVERSE! Thanks for the note Lynn. I am totally unnecessary this week with cousins and grandmas and aunts here, but it has been very, very fun.
