Happy Easter, everyone! It is a beautiful morning here. Christ is risen AND the Easter bunny came! It is great living with kids. They make life so fun. When I woke up this morning, I found this note from Stefi waiting for me. I sense that maybe she has some doubts about the ability of [...]

Niki is 15 now and has her driver learner permit. She is doing a great job of learning to drive, and I know with a little more experience she is going to be a good, safe driver. I decided I should teach her a little bit about maintaining the car, so today after school she [...]

I cannot believe that it was almost ten years ago we were in China, picking up our younger daughter, Stephanie. It seems like yesterday that she was a screaming “bundle of joy.” Stefi has now just turned 11, and I am wondering where the years have gone. She is still quite energetic but screams much [...]

With a combination of sadness and anticipation, we came home to Colorado yesterday. The day began with our last inspiring Los Barriles sunrise and wistful walks on the beach. Then came the plane rides from Los Cabos to Phoenix and Phoenix to Grand Junction. We will miss all our wonderful Los Barriles friends and wish [...]

Los Barriles is such a great place to expand our group of friends; we are always meeting nice people. On this trip, we have met Greg and Dari McKim, over at Vista del Mar, about 0.7 mile down the beach to the south from Mar y Sol, where we live now. We met them when [...]

As long as we have been coming to Los Barriles (6 years), we have always looked forward to a friendly greeting from our dog-away-from-home, Lucia. She belongs to a local Mexican family along the beach, but spends almost all her time out on the beach. Lucia has taken a shine to us, and always walks [...]

Equal time for daughter number 2. That refers to birth order only. Not to any of the other things Stefi has imagined. This photo was taken at the Roadrunner in Los Barriles. We were there listening to Mary perform for the Sunday brunch. Roadrunner also has an open mic night every Wednesday with great talent [...]

Niki is in high school now. I cannot believe she is 15 and learning to drive. She has now left us behind in Los Barriles to go back to school in Delta. I took this photo sitting in front of the Los Barriles elementary school while we were waiting to pick up Stefi’s friend, Heidi. [...]

Stefi, my 10-year-old daughter, writes sentences and draws pictures using her spelling words. I thought this one was particularly interesting. It speaks for itself. Wonder which college that was….?

We enjoy walking the mile on the beach to Los Barriles for breakfast at Martin Verdugo’s. This tradition began 6 years ago, shortly after we moved to Los Barriles from Cabo. Our foreign exchange student from Taiwan, Angel, was with us, and we decided it would be fun to walk to town for breakfast. We [...]
