Temorary Digs

Remember the leak in July? Well, perhaps that leak didn't dry out, or perhaps the leak caused rotting which caused a new leak . . . either way, we had lots of mold. The bad, icky, black kind. Temporarily we have plastic up so the walls can be demolished and the air can be clean. In about a week the room should be available for use. Who knows how long till we've got our sink and dishwasher back.

The view of the left hand side. I still have access to the pantry.

Good times at the Ward house.

Our Hawkmoth

Here's our hawkmoth's new home for a while. Actually - one of our hawkmoths hatched, but maybe we moved it too much, or it didn't have to struggle enough (being not in the ground but in a jar of dirt) and it came out deformed and unable to fly. It died in a few days, but this moth might make it? It moved when poked, so we reburied it. Anywho - here it is.

Most Creative Girl

Aurelia received the "award" of recognition for being the "most creative" kid in her class. All the students will receive an award at some point in the year, but Aurelia certainly deserves this award. She is always drawing, writing and creating. I am so proud of my little lady!

Rudy and Maria get married

Aurelia and I celebrated with family and friends the union of my cousin, Rudy, and his beautiful, Maria (Ibarra). Here they are dancing their first dance as a married couple.

After a beautiful ceremony, we grubbed on Kinder's, and then boogied down for a couple of hours. Aurelia was pleased as punch and exhausted at 9PM. Oh, what a night!
