Milestones

Yesterday was definitely an interesting day with our baby. In the morning, we had a doctor’s appointment in which she received another immunization. We were relieved when we found out that it was an oral one, so we didn’t have to witness our daughter go through all of that pain. The funny [...]

International Volleyball

While reading boing boing this morning I came across an article about a game of volleyball played across the fence on the U.S./Mexico border. There is something about this that is just so refreshing to me. Here we have people from one country who have it so bad they would risk anything to [...]

The Westing Game (and Books We Loved as Kids)

When I was in Elementary school, there was a program called R.I.F. which involved our teachers giving out free books to us students. Since I loved to read, “R.I.F. day” was an exciting time for me. Our teacher would put the books on a table and would always have some system to determine [...]

Here is another picture of my daughter. She used to like it when I read to her. Now, she gets frustrated after a few pages. I think it’s because she can now read it herself  .

That’s not Our Beautiful House

Here is the picture of the old abandoned house that I promised. I stumbled upon it while driving my sister to her car, in which her keys were locked. There was something about the house that made me want to photograph it.
There are so many questions that pop into my mind when I look at [...]
