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!

Sisters

Emma has decided that when she grows up, she is going to be a princess...
 
but I think she has taken this new job as big sister pretty seriously. :)
 
 
She loves (in her own words) "petting" Natalie, holding her, feeding her, getting her diapers and wipes, swinging her, and telling her "it's ok" or singing to her when she's crying. She doesn't want to go anywhere with out her. Maria is the same way. They fight over who gets to look at her and hold her.
 

 
 She's a pretty sweet little girl, and the doctor said today that she looks healthy and is growing already!
 
 
We are very thankful for these cute sisters!
