The day started with a family breakfast at Magy’s with all our favorites, and a few hours later we decided to take a trip over to San Andres Cholula to visit the town. Instead of going to the ruins (which we had been before) we headed to the city center to explore the other churches… Read More Day 5: San Andres Cholula
After a good night’s rest, we talked about what we should do for the day, and Mom didn’t want to go somewhere she had already been. Then someone said we should visit Val’quirico; the community is designed like an Italian town. It sounded fun, and 45 minutes later, we entered another world. From cobbled streets… Read More Day 4: a visit to Val’quirico
Our day started with a family breakfast at our favorite restaurant in downtown Puebla. Over breakfast, we discussed our plans for the day, which, at this point, were nothing. So we decided to return to the Airbnb and show it to Andres and Fer. Then Magy suggested we walk around the downtown area a few… Read More Day 3: bus tour
After trying to catch up on our sleep, we woke up around 11:00 for breakfast and spent time with the family. We eventually got on a bus and headed to Puebla, where we met with the rest of the family, got caught up, and celebrated Mom’s birthday.

This past week, we spent time pruning the trees around the house. We tackled the fruit trees: apples, apricots, Italian plums, and cherries. We also trimmed the flowers and plants in Rosy’s Garden. This is the earliest we tackled this project, so we are excited to see the results.
We started Christmas with breakfast at Mom’s house, and to everyone’s surprise, we were the second to arrive. Once everyone arrived, we did our white elephant exchange, and for the first time, no one exchanged their gifts. While we waited for breakfast to cook, we had cocoa and cinnamon rolls and got caught up with… Read More Christmas
Daisy was born and raised in Los Angeles, so when we moved to Idaho in 2007, it was fun to see her try to deal with snow. The first time we went outside, the snow blew her mind, and she just stopped and looked around. Eventually, she adjusted, but she was never a fan of… Read More Daisy’s first snow
