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!

~Week of Fun~

First of all, I just have to say, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WEEK! I love fall, and this weather is just right to spend some time outside! It's been an eventful week.

We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday for Emma. She weighed in at 9 lbs. 4 oz. The appointment went well except for those darn shots she had to get! THREE shots to be exact. :( Poor baby. Good thing daddy was there to hold her so I didn't have to watch!



Wednesday night we headed to a friends house for a nice supper and listened to the Twins lose. And Thrusday we had a friend come over to watch the Twins lose yet again. But here is Emma in her Twins gear! (yes, I know she looks like a boy in all that blue, but she had to cheer on the Twins!)



Last night Maria also had her first haircut. She was getting quite the mullet. That was fixed last night, and Maria was a little angel while getting it cut. She sat so nice!! and even got her hair curled for the first time. What a cutie!





And other than that, nothing else too exciting. Emma is eating and eating and growing and growing and she is starting to sleep better at night! She has only been getting up one time! :) The girls have been spending their time playing outside and hanging out with grandma while mom and dad are at work. How fun! And now we look forward to another beautiful weekend filled with pouring cement in our garage, a family hayride, and a party! Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Thank goodness for daddys who can come to appt's. Reed always came along for those shot visits. I can't stand to watch either.

Boy, the girls sure are growing up fast. Both so darn sweet! Still cannot get over Maria's haircut. It sure made us smile when we saw it the other night. Such a big girl she's getting to be.
