With Papi!

Rosemary, Marilyn, Fernanda, Papi Chema and Abraham. Papi is the "Foster uncle" to the girls and Abraham is their "foster brother." There is no one kinder than Papi Chema!

Antigua, Guatemala

Here are the girls with Rosemary's "foster sisters" in Antigua, an artsy town in Guatemala. See Rosemary Paulette, Fernanda, Marilyn and Mercedes.

Back to Guatemala!

The five of us returned to Guatemala this June to visit with the foster family. Here we are finishing lunch at a local restaurant.

If only it were true...

Mercedes presented me with this portrait this morning. As you can see, she had to move some of the words around. I promise the title was all her idea!

Fun At The State Fair

"Our State Fair is the best State Fair. Don't miss it, don't even be late." One of the girls favorite musicals is State Fair so every time we drive by the state fair grounds they sing that song. This was taken at the State Fair in August 2006 after visiting the IU booth - see face tattoo on Rosemary. I showed this picture to a friend and all he could say was, "What cheap mothers they have making them share one drink!"

Fun with Ms. Molly and Mr. Lou

The girls love to hang with Molly and Lou Perry. Here they are at a friend's house in June, 2007. The Perry's wedding in 2005 was the first wedding the girls ever attended - and it was at Notre Dame. Lou is in the striped shirt, Molly in the white shirt and l. to r. is Rosemary, Mercedes and Fernanda.

Alright, everyone! This took ten minutes! I may have to skip a shower this morning. Happy?
