My favorite picture for now

This is still my favorite picture. I took it a month or so ago when the girls were playing in the kitchen. Katelyn out of the blue said, mommy take a picture of us and it was just too cute.

On sabbatical

So you all are probably wondering what we have been doing since Easter. My friendly reminder cousin has given me a few months off (no nagging), so I have of course slacked off. We just got back from Costa Rica this week. It was an amazing kid-free adventure week. The girls stayed with their grandma and Aunt Sherry and were spoiled with lots of family love all week. Alan and I went with another couple to Costa Rica where we white water rafted, zip lined through a rain forest, hiked around a volcano and hit the beach. For more details, you should go to my friend's blog at www.habbenet.net. He is a much better, more consistent blogger than I am.

However, I am enclosing a couple of pictures from our trip.
One is Alan and I in front of the Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna. One is the view from our room in Quepos--loved it. The last is a picture of one of the monkey's we saw in the park. It was literally five feet from me on the path.
