A big thank you to PaPa for lugging this booster seat all the way from NY to Costa Rica. Meal time is a breeze now and Sophie is loving her little independent seat again. A sincere thank you from my lap who can now enjoy a meal without a toddler dropping food all over it and getting up and down! 
Little sweet nugget was out playing with me when one of the cats jumped up outside and she just looked up, waved, and said “Hi”! Ugh! So precious!!! “HI”
Waahhhhh! First it was mommy and then a day later lil crumpet came down with a fever. Nugget slept almost a full day away and just wanted to lay on me like a little limp scrumper (scrumper i guess is a scrumptious crumpet). She didnt want to eat much but managed to open her mouth wide enough to guzzle down a bowl of strawberry ice cream (mixed with a little baby meds…shhh) without even lifting her head. Her fever finally broke at 10pm and she popped up and started arm farting (only my whacko daughter). We were all up until about 1am and she munched on some popcorn, watched a movie, and finished it all off with a good ole green apple. Finally 2 days later we are getting closer to normal again and hopefully daddy was spared this time around. I dont know what we had b/c it was just a 24 hour fever and nothing else but I just hope it doesnt return b/c oyyyy Mommy’s just can’t get sick and they also can’t stand watching their lil scumpers feel ill. Poor lil scrumper below…
Well the day has come and Charles has finally gotten his teeth cleaned. He went to Dr. Alonso Mora @ Moralva Clinica in Grecia and he was a champ. The Vet was amazing and Charlie’s teeth may just be the whitest in the family right now. He smells so yummy that i didnt even have to hold my breath when he licked my face. He was so good and we are so proud of the lil rockstar. Go Chi Chi go!!! I’ll snap a pic of his pearly white smile when we get back from Nica.
I am so tired b/c it is now 11:30pm and Sosi just fell asleep…but i have been meaning to do her 18/19 month updates and have been too wiped at night to think straight.

Well I’m going to get some videos and pics up now and then prob. conk out so i’ll post more updates to this as I think of it. You are a ball of energy lately and it is getting more difficult to stay up later and catch up while you sleep…i think i may have to start two cups of coffee a day. All worth it- we love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!! PUPA, BUPA, POOKIE, SOSI, SAUCY, PIPPIE, SAUSALITO, PICKLEBUTT, IGGS.
Sosi was cracking up at the camera flash and kept handing me the camera to take pics of her so she could make these weirdo faces and then look at herself…such a character!
Today Alexis called and said he was picking coffee beans at a farm near our house and invited us to come check it out. I never knew coffee beans looked like cranberries before they are roasted. We bit one open and it is clear inside and has a sweet taste (nothing like coffee). We hiked around the land with Alexis, Dani, Noella, and Alexa and he showed us all the different plants and fruits that were growing there. Below are the coffee beans.
