Guitar Recital

Alex performed in his first guitar recital. Even though he was nervous about playing in public, he did a wonderful job.


He even got a diploma.

Congratulations Alex!

Mexico's Next Top Model

Tiffany became interested in modeling earlier this year. She now has an agent and she just finished her first paying job with L' Oréal. I had wanted to document this "first" in her life, but no Mommies were allowed. So, I had to be content with taking a few photos after the fact.


I think that she looks beautiful.


Of course, I may be biased.

There are , however, others who agree with me. She even has a new fan!

Swim Meet

Alex went to his first swim meet. His team is called the "Ranas de Cuautla" (the Cuautla Frogs).



It was a really hot day and we all did our best to keep cool.

Get ready . . .

Get set. . . . Go!

Alex competed in crawl, breast, back and butterfly. He came in second in the crawl and back stroke and he came in third in breast and butterfly. He was very proud of himeself and we were very proud of him too! Congratulations, Alex!

Congratulations!

Tifffany had her first professional dance exam today and she passed with flying colors! We are all very proud of her. Congratulations, Tiffany!

Swimming

Alex has started swimming twice a week. He really like its. His coach seems very nice. Plus, this is a good opportunity for him to socialize more.

Not For The Faint Of Heart

Alex suffered his first football "injury" and learned that running and gravel don't always mix. Football is not for the faint of heart whether you are a player or a mommy!

Yuck!!!!!

Spring Dance Recital

Tiffany had her spring dance recital this week. First she danced a hula called the Kuahiwi. It it a beautiful and graceful dance.

Then, she danced a Tahitian dance. This is a much more energetic dance.

Finally, she did a belly dance.

Tiffany even had a solo part in this dance that she choreographed herself.

Tiffany was also very proud of her students. She started giving beginning hula classes to litte ones this semester and they did a great job.

Football Practice

The coaches had a brief planning session and then practice began. Alex really engages in practice. He pays attention and then does his best to do what he is told. I wish that he would "engage" more at home. The focus today, after they did some drills to warm up, was how to hold and catch the ball. Alex really likes football practice. I think that he has found his "thing".

How many?!

Alex joined a football team and he loves it! They workout 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I am really impressed because they do this in the hot sun and he hasn't complained once.

Belly

Tiffany has discovered a wonderful grace and confidence in dance.

Hawaiian

Tiffany loves to dance and has been taking classes here for the last 3 years. I love to watch her dance. It is beautiful. The director has even invited her to teach some beginning Hawaiian classes.
