Raimy is 12!
What a fun celebration we had! This age is marvellous. You can still be a kid yet you are creeping ever so quickly to the great big world of being a teenager. I absolutely love that she asked for toys for her birthday; she’s still my baby Raimy. Although, to prove that I am good [...]
An Afternoon of Sightseeing
After a 3D movie at the theater I took the kids to the bridge. This is a relatively new attraction here in Cochabamba. It connects the Cine Center with a lovely section of town called the Recoleta which are separated by a river and a highway. The Recoleta has bunches of good restaurants, ice-cream and [...]

Raimy's Golden Birthday
A golden birthday is the one that happens when the date corresponds with your new age that year. This year Raimy turned 11 on March 11th. We woke her with a hardy rendition of ‘Happy Birthday to You’. I was able to take cupcakes and juice to her class. That was a first as a [...]
