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!

The BIG 1!

August 6th, 2011....Emma turned 1! Here is the birthday girl all ready for her big day! With lots of family at our house, we enjoyed a taco bar, and a little Mexican themed cake :)
Opened lots and lots of presents (including some little people, a water table, movies, dolls, a purse and some clothes)

Then we enjoyed that wonderful cake! Especially Emma, who devoured her entire little one!

We were having so much fun, we even forgot to have Emma open her gifts from mommy and daddy! So we had more presents to open later...:)


She was a very good girl the whole day and enjoyed all the wonderful company.


Happy 1st Birthday Ems!
