At the Tampa Zoo

We went to the Tampa Zoo this morning, it was a lot of fun! We got our anual family pass so we can go as much as we want. Josefina had so much fun at the "splash park". She run for 15 minutes non stop, that's why I couldn't get a really good picture. Then, we walked around , went and fed the giraffes and after that went to the petting zoo, where Josefina loved feeding the goats.
It was a great day for mommy and Josefina.

More pictures of Argentina

Here are a few pictures . 1.are all my friends I went to school with and their kids. 2.Josefina, her cousins and friends ( the two little girls ) 3.4.5. We all celebrated Josefina's B-day, we forgot to buy candles so we just decided to put those huge ones on the cake so her and her cousins could blow the candles. They had a blast doing it!!!

My Trip to Argentina '08

As many of you already know, Josefina and I spent an unforgetable month in Argentina visiting my family. It was the first time my family met Josefina and before this trip I hadn't seen them for over 3 years.

We had a blast, it was very emotional to see everubody at the airport waiting for us. I was so happy that Josefina warm up to everyone right away.

All I wanted to do is just to hung out with my mom, dad and the rest of the family. And that is exactly what we did.

My mom is an excellent cook, and we had the most amazing food ever. The best beef in the world, super fresh fruits and veggetables....everything was soooo yummy. I ate enough beef for a whole year, hopefully we will be able to go again pretty soon.

It was so nice to be taken care of for a whole month, not having to worry about anything. My mom will bring breakfast to Josefina and I in bed every morning and we will just sit in bed an chat. I am getting emotional to the thought of every single moment I spent with all of them!!!

In this picture we are at a beautiful farm that a fried of my mo's has. They have so many different animals, and as you can see I was brave enough to seat on a horse for the picture, I have done it before ....but it had been a long time.

It was just perfect. They prepared "asado" and salads and after eating we just sat and relaxed and later on we drove and walked around the farm. The kids had an amazing time and so did the adults.

Our Weekend

Well, we had a very nice weekend. We went to Honeymoon Island on Saturday, it's a beautiful beach. However, we didn't go to the beach, we left home a little too late in the day and it was scorching hot. So, we decided to walk a beautiful trail. We saw ospreys, turtles and so much more. Josefina had a great time walking and exploring.
Later, we decided to continue our search for a house. We drove further north of Tampa and among all the planned communities, there was a pocket of older homes on 1.5 to 4 acres. We found a house that we really liked. It's a 3/2 on 1.5 acres. with a barn that it's about to fall apart and plenty of nature. There is a lot that needs to be done on the outside, the yard and so on but it's very cute. Just the thought of having all that space to run around. We made an appointment with the realtor and went back Sunday to look at it. The house is very nice inside and has a really nice layout. We'll see what happens.....

Let the new Adventure Begins !

Well as most of you already know, we sold our beautiful little home in Houston, Tx , packed our belongings and moved to Tampa, Florida.
We have had many changes in the last couple of months, but managed to stay focus on what's important ( not all the time, but we try :) ).
At the moment we are staying in an apartment until we find our new home. It is always exciting to drive around different neighborhoods, looking for that perfect house that will be "our home". As long as we have a few lollipops for Josefina we are good to go. She really is a trooper, she keeps calling her friends all the time.... so sad :( and she is still not sure what happened. I think that Mark and I feel the same way. Even though we knew it was coming, it just feels that it happened in a flash!
We have unpacked only what we need and kept all the other boxes in the garage. We have to make sure we keep it this way, because in a few months we will have to pack up everything by ourselves ...not very exciting!
I do miss my beautiful backyard, just the confort of opening the door and beaing outside. Taking care of it, playing with our little angel and all the great things taht come with having your own space.
The weather so far it has been great. It gets pretty hot during the day, not as humid as Texas and what it's really great is that during the day and night there is a beautiful breeze ..... so nice!
I will learn how to post pictures so you can see where we live.
This is all for now, I am going to try and do my best to keep up with this.
Thank you to all our family for their love, support and a special thanks to mY favorite mother-in-law for always being there , and for listening. I LOVE YOU!!!
