Los Globos (aqui)

 Off we go, this is a bit ironic this past week in that we were able to attend a Hot Air Balloon Rally in the town we are living. For the past three years we were priviledged to enjoy a Balloon Festival (Festival de los Globos) while we were living in Mexico and now find that the town we are living in has an annual celebration very similar to the one we enjoyed while south of the boarder!

 These are some of the photos taken from our walk to the launch field to view these quiet monsters take flight.

 It was fun to see several familiar faces during the few hours we spent watching the various balloon prepare for flight. 

 Off they go and off I go to get some shut eye, enjoy!

A "first" birthday celebrated

Our Matthias has reached the one year mark. It seems hard to think that he has been with us that long but then when I take a moment to remember ALL that has transpired since his arrival in our family it feels that there has been more years than one gone by! He is becoming more and more his own little individual and we all enjoy his bright smile, companionship, curiosity and determination. 

Happy Birthday to the only little Everson with a summer celebration. . . complete with lots of balls to play with and good eats like: homemade corn dogs (which he didn't eat but the other kids thought they were great), garden veggies and a blueberry pie!
