Here we are in one of the hottest places in the world this time of year and ask me how many times we've been swimming . . . I can count them on one hand! This past weekend we went to a friend's party and they rented a place with an outdoor pool - the kids had a blast. Here they are swimming - enjoy the short videos.

Also, check out the photos along the "sidebar" of the website - all the kids went to get new haircuts today.
I'll post later about Joseph's birthday - he is 6 today!!!

New pets - 2 budgies
As you may know, our attempts to get a family pet in December failed with the problem of allergies. So, here's our second "go" at it.
A family at church has birds as pets and the birds have been reproducing . . ..
Rebekah's friend, Carlos, wanted to give her a few for her birthday, but Carlos's mom, knowing that pets are a family decision, came to us first. We decided that after we got back from Mexico City, we would see about purchasing a cage and food. Last Friday, Febuary 2nd (Groundhog's Day for our friends in the U.S.), we welcomed these little birds into our home.
Their names are Cookie and Ralph - don't ask me why - there is no reasoning in this one. We like to say "Kooky" for the female in that she seems to have a nervous eating habit and likes to hang upside down when someone puts a hand in the cage.
They don't say much right now, but I'm interested in interacting with them as they start to show more of their personality. It is said that they can be trained and even talk - well, we'll see.
Anyone have some pet bird care or training advice? Corey? Anyone? :-)

Track Stars
Today was the 68th anniversary of the stadium where our kids are involved in a track program. To celebrate, they participated in several short races and received medals for participation in this fun event. It was a nice afternoon in which all three were very content to run and pose for photos and, of course, receive a medal from the coach!
Here's a close-up of the kids with their really great coach - Rafael.
Enjoy these shots at the event!
