Ouest is moving on from merely swimming to attempting to swim underwater. She’s awesome. I love taking her in the pool and just letting her go nuts. She does crazy dives, swims from one end to the other, and now ducks her head under and takes a couple of paddles. … Read More

Ouest usually wakes up around 7:30 in the morning. By that time Lowe has been up anywhere from one to two hours. When she wakes she announces it by yelling out, “Papa!” That’s my cue to head on in and let her know it’s okay to get up. If she … Read More

Just not a heck of a lot going on around here lately. Ate what has to be the greatest pork torta on the face of this planet at Pepe’s. That was fun. Went grocery shopping and used the cart with the kids Cozy Coupe on the front. That was fun. … Read More

Since we had our buddy Nick here we thought we’d try and get a family picture today. So yeah, better photographer than usual, same results as usual.

Ouest and Lowe both needed to get new passport photos taken today. It was pretty much a given that Lowe wouldn’t sit still and that Ouest wouldn’t be down with posing for a picture. And yet, by some miracle, we pulled it off in under five minutes. We picked them … Read More

We drove out to Bucerias with our friend Nick today. Somehow, even though we knew about this little town right along the highway just north of us, we’d never been to it. Turns out it’s not a bad little place. The beach is pretty enough, lined with big houses and … Read More

Went out to the boat today for a quick look around. She’s still floating. Later we went to the playground where Ouest made friends with a big-boned six-year-old girl. The girl kept picking Ouest up in a bear hug and spinning her around. I kept an eye on them because … Read More

We were going to eat today at a little place right across the street from the cathedral’s front doors when a crowd suddenly came pouring out and a band standing in the street started playing some rocking music. It took a minute to realize that the people coming out weren’t … Read More

Sunday. Music and dancing on the plaza day. I love the family atmosphere down there. In all of Mexico really. To me it just sort of harkens back to a simpler friendlier time. Maybe a bit of small town character that I didn’t get to experience growing up in the … Read More

This afternoon we all went out to the boat and to the beach out there. Lea determined that she couldn’t live in a space that small with her brother, and Grandma said she couldn’t because she would get claustrophobic. There was a time not so long ago that I probably … Read More

Ouest is soooo our daughter. Yesterday she called Lea the “Moley Queen.” That’s guacamole for the two-year-old language deficient. But she didn’t just say it, she sang it, with her head up to the sky she belted it out for all to hear. Today we spent some time up at … Read More

Took the gang to Mismaloya Beach today. It’s far from the prettiest beach, and certainly couldn’t be considered a relaxing beach, but for some reason we’ve always liked it. I guess it is the funkiness of it. At high tide there really is no beach. It’s just restaurants that sit … Read More
