In Spanish this phrase literally means "pure life" but is more commonly thought of as meaning "full of life." Costa Ricans use this phrase to express a philosophy of strong community, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties with good spirits, enjoying life slowly, and celebrating good fortune of magnitudes small and large alike. This blog is about our life... Pura Vida!

Welcome Home Emma Jo

Friday, August 6th, our beautiful baby girl was born! Emma Jo She came in weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. and measuring 19 1/2 inches long. She has a full head of wavy, dark hair and big bright eyes. Maria is very excited to be a big sister and has been taking the change well. She runs over to her all the time and says "baby"! And pats her head and gives kisses. What a nice big sister! We couldn't be happier! Here's a picture of her for the few minutes today that she was actually awake!
