Costa Rican Re-union!


Our very good friends from Costa Rica visited Texas and made the drive down here to see us.

Maria and Alfredo were our neighbors in our first apartment in Austin. Ironically we had just been to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. They had only lived in the states a few months when we met and they learned fluent English super fast. Now they are living back on Maria's parents coffee farm and have just build their first home. Their beautiful daughter Cristina was like a live Dora to my girls. They fell in love with her . We hope to make a trip there in the next few summers to sit on their porch and take in the Costan Rican mountain air. Being with them really grounds me. They remind me that life is mostly about being the best you can be for your family first.

That little girl is adorable. She looks so cute sandwiched between your two beauty queens. She looks a bit like Dora.
