Dances

I really really want to learn how to dace, Costa Rica's folklore music and dances are awesome, every province here have their own way to dress and their music, this one was particularly beautiful because the dresses are hand painted and hand made, is a work of love. 

Capellades, Cartago

A friend of my family invited us to this town for the celebrations of Saint Isidro Labrador day, the whole town gets together so the priest gave the blessing to the "Boyeros" and their ox for the next crops, they even had tipical dances, I relly enjoy those, I really want to learn and were those beautiful dresses. we had a great time, we even ate a lot there. lol

Update 2

One of the things I love from the Trip to MI, is that Betty drove us to our hotel and she stay with us one more night, she help me with my computer ( I had to let my baby stay at the Mac store for a LONG night it needed repairs) and she had to stay alone at the hotel while we were at our meetings, at night when Yes and I return to the room we found this, before Betty left she put candy and little notes in ours beds, she is the greatest friend someone could have, and Betty don't brag.... but you know I love you!!  

Update

Since Betty keeps telling me to update my blog I'm going to post my fav pics from this past months so my dear mom  Betty will be happy and she'll stop bugging me lol!!! love you Betty!! lol

This are from my trip to MI, I spend a few days at Mary's house and we had a little crop with Betty, April, Becky and my friend Yes, it was Yes first trip to the US, then after a 3 days we went to Grand Rapids to a meeting and we were bored!!
 

What a week!!

Gabo had his first english class and he looove it, (as I said he would) he finished the fist chapter of the book in one hour that's a record! the teacher said he is really smart and he will learn fast :D he is counting the days for his next class, his mom told me he was so exited with the practice I made for him and the classes that all he does is talk about them lol.

And he is going to enjoy the practice I made for him today, I found this site worksheetworks with tons of math practice he could do, I just have to print them, they even have the Costa Rica map, that would be great for geography. I even made him a sticker chart, is he get good grades he earns a silly prize, for a full chart he gets a nice prize!! So far I bought him tons a hotwheels cars he loves to collect and pens and stickers from cars, action figures from Ben 10 and art supplies. 

I've been doing a lot of research for worksheets for him I wish there were a site like that in spanish is so hard to get good practices and literature stuff so I don't have to make them lol 

My Treasures!

These book were my treasures when I was little, I love reading about that silly monk until late hours at night, I can't remember how many times I read that book and since I found it I'm going to read it again lol, them I'll lent the book to Gabo, he should enjoy this stories and hopefully he will learn to love reading as much as I do.

Check out the date!!! I start reading in on september 5, 1992 that's last century!!! lol and finish it on the 22 I read fast!! 

Another exciting news!!

The teacher just call me, she said everything is ready for tomorrows class, if Gabo does good in the evaluation test he'll use the book "I like English" that's the same book I use when I was little, a loooong  time ago lol

Changing things a little bit

Things that makes me happy!

Gabo start english lessons tomorrow, with my private tutor, I'm so happy she can teach him, thanks to her I speak English, she taught me well lol

I'm also going to help him with his writing skills his calligraphy is horrible, so every Monday after I finish with my students he is going to stay with me so we could do homework from school and practice writing and reading.

I found the Mead writing fundamental books at the store I went today they are the coolest thing on earth for a kid that is learning to write,  they have a lot of activities so it wont be boring for Gabo.

Since I'm going to study with him I bought him a few reading books from the "El Barco de Vapor" thats the same book editorial I used to read when I was little (ohh the memories lol)

I found one of my favorite books I read it when  I was 9 years old, and I did a little research and found they are a series, so I have 3 of them I need to get 4 more and I know Gabo is going to LOOOOOVVEE them! (I'm going to read them again LOL)

I don't have kids of my own but doing this for him makes me feel so good, maybe God doesn't think I'm ready for my own kids and he knows Gabo needs 2 moms and all the help possible, plus this is an excellent practice. :D 

A year ago

I was in Panama with Kriss, we went on a business trip but we had other plans for that trip, I wanted to get pg there, :( I just can't believe is been a year already and still no baby in our life, I just don't want to start thinking is my fault, since kriss has 2 kids. just having this thought makes me cry big time. I'll should go back to work and stop worrying.
