We're Back...

I know, I know, how long has it been since I've posted? It has been so long that blogspot has tons of new features that make it even easier to compose this things! I'm going to follow my friend's advise and TRY not to let a calendar month go by before I update because I've heard loud and clear that you all do miss having updates. Jeff told me the other day that I only needed to do two things to be the perfect wife-tell him "I love you" every day and update the blog. Since I'm pretty sure I do the first thing on a daily basis, here is my attempt to finally be the perfect wife! I'm just throwing many pictures at you without a lot of commentary, but hope you enjoy. A lot of these posts have been sitting in here as drafts and I'm finally posting them, so they go back all the way to Christmas!

Paint the Earth

To all my Chapel Hill girls (Go Heels!)-remember our outings to Paint the Earth? Well here is my little artist doing her own version. She took it really seriously, I don't even think she got any paint on Aunt Gigi's old painting T-shirt that was passed on to us, although she did get it all over her arms.

Hola-Hola

Sadly, my Grandma, Yolanda Hurtarte, died at the end of February after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Kate called her Hola-Hola and still asks about her, but she will tell you that Hola-Hola is with Jesus. We have missed her dearly. Fortunately my aunts from Canada and Guatemala were able to be here and it was neat to see all of them together. Here they are from left to right-my Mom and Kate, Sandra, and Ana.

Uncle Dave

David came to visit over his spring break in March. Jeff enjoyed relaxing with his brother and Kate enjoyed showing off her new playroom and playhouse.

Valentine's Day

We had our neighbors over for a Valentine's Day dinner. Here are Kate and their son Jack enjoying a gourmet meal of hot dogs and macaroni and cheese.
