I was just playing around on-line when I found this video named Mamitay...which I thought was pretty cool (since it's the name we gave my mom)......what was even cooler was that the following video happened to be Zamba de mi Esperanza...my dad's favorite Zamba! Sometimes I have a moment like this and it warms my heart!

We're baaaack!
Okay so January was a bit busy but a lot of fun. After the holiday season...it's the birthday season for us. We got to celebrate Devon's 4th birthday (Emilie's best bud from down the street), Danielle's first birthday and Caleb's (a friend from work's baby boy) first birthday a week later. The events varied in theme as well as in size...we got a bit of everything.
Star Wars theme for Devon:
Emilie really liked helping him with the cake and the presents!
We also managed to make it to Flagstaff to the snow. It was fun to see Emilie finally enjoy the cold stuff with her Papa. They went sledding and Emilie LOVED it. I tried a couple of times but after I sat on the thing the first time I remembered that it scares the h....out of me. I have no idea why but I really don't like sliding down a hill with no control over where or how fast I go....hmmm....maybe I should look into that...or not!
Danielle slept through most of the trip but she wasn't too upset when I finally put her in the snow .
A couple of days after our winter escape...Danielle decided that it was time to walk on her own. Of course I would love to tell you we have the whole thing on film but we don't. It was early morning...we were getting ready to have breakfast...and she let go of the fridge door she was holding on to and walked all the way across the kitchen to the sink. Mike ran and got the camera but she didn't want to do it again until the following day. I guess it'll just have to be a moment we remember. And now on to the main event...Danielle's Birthday. We just did a little something at home with a couple of friends. Eva, CJ and baby Charles came over to help celebrate our little monkey's 1st birthday. I still can't believe that it has been a year already...I guess time flies when you're having fun. She got a whole bunch of presents from Switzerland...Merci Eliane...Natacha, Jean-Pierre, Charlotte et Richard...we especially enjoyed the beautiful pictures drawn by the cousins...I smell two future picassos in the making! We also got a package from Bolivia...and it made it in time for the birthday...a true miracle if you have ever seen the post office in Santa Cruz! Danielle enjoyed ripping paper off the presents and really likes carrot cake.....she even used some as hair conditioner!
And now on to the last event of the month...Caleb's birthday. It was a themed party and so very festive. Emilie got to jump in a bounce house.....her favourite....and Danielle loved being able to roam outside in the grass without Maman picking her up all the time in order to avoid the lawn ornaments that Cue and Stella leave behind.
The birthday boy!
We had a lot of fun this past month...let's just hope the next one is a bit calmer and not as busy!
