Buenos Aires, in snippet format

Your days tends to go like this -

coffee, meat, wine, ice cream, coffee, meat, wine, ice cream, coffee

Matias said once while on the train in a funny accent "this is my country" where upon that then became our "motto" of the trip

**************************************************************************************

Liam's days tended to go like this -

bottle, vintina, car, stroller, bottle, yogurt, nap, bottle, car, playtime, bottle, dinner, nap

**************************************************************************************

Jasmine - fresh, tight, little sachets of pure delight
If I could have video taped that scent, I would have left happy

**************************************************************************************

Blue sky - Celeste - the color of their flag

**************************************************************************************

Green greens - the color of Spring turning into Summer in December

**************************************************************************************

Shutters on the bedroom windows that slammed against the house when opened & letting in a spectacular breeze

**************************************************************************************

Me telling Matias that the breeze was my favorite thing about Buenos Aires, to which he responded "the city is named after it, you know"

**************************************************************************************

Taking pictures with scrapbook layouts in mind. It's an obsession I know, but I love it, so there.

**************************************************************************************

Taking Siestas

**************************************************************************************

Speaking French instead of Spanish just about every single time I attempted to respond to someone properly

**************************************************************************************

Having our son's passport stamped for the first time

**************************************************************************************

Jumping a horse over the tallest fence in the arena because Pepe trusted me to

**************************************************************************************

Watching Liam fall in love with family & them in return - despite the language barrier

**************************************************************************************

Watching our boy turn into a Little Trooper & become a World Traveler so young in life

**************************************************************************************

Being able to walk around and know places & knowing that I want to return

San Jose House

Our house in San Jose - the new front is now stone & the house has been painted this blue-ish shade. Not much else is different, I have a few more shots from when we continued around the corner! This was taken last April when we went out to CA for our BabyMoon - my first visit back to CA since 97 (!) and my first visit back to the house since my parent's left in 93!
