Erin played Taylor Swift's "Fearless" last night at her recital. We all thought she did great. It was over 3 minutes and she had the whole thing memorized. Eric wanted to "make it into my blog" so he posed with her.
Eric and Erin have become best buddies this week. I think having no tv has helped. They stay up late reading and making themselves snacks. I always find a mess in my kitchen the next morning. They tell me they don't clean up because they are afraid to wake me. I'm not buying it. Too bad they have to go to bed early now that school starts this week. But I have really enjoyed them getting along so well.

Rocks and Ropes
Mario didn't want to climb at first, but he quickly changed his mind. I had to practically drag him out of there 3 1/2 hours later so we could attend Meet the Teacher Night.
Mario, Eric, Erin, and Zachary were all able to climb to the top. Mario even climbed some overhangs. Nathan and I were a little more cautious. It was a long way down and you have to really trust the person at the other end of the rope.
We all loved it. Maybe next summer we will get a family pass.

Coming Home Early
Gotta love how the military pays a fortune for their plane tickets. The tickets are quite expensive because they have no restrictions. First Mario told me he changed his ticket to arrive home early Saturday morning instead of late that night. Then he texted me yesterday saying if he could get a flight back to Bogota in time, he was going to be home on Thursday. I got a text from him today saying by a miracle he made it back to Bogota and by another miracle was able to catch the red eye flight tonight. So he will be home by the afternoon. We are all excited. Now he can go with me and the kids to meet all their teachers on Friday.
He also texted me and said he changed his mind about retiring in Florida. He likes Rionegro, Colombia. I looked up the weather and it looks to be 70 degrees year round. I don't think he'll have a hard time convincing me. That sounds like heaven. I just won't be able to speak the language.

Eric's Letter to Twins
Here's a little letter Eric wrote the twins when they were first born. Eric was in 1st grade.
I came across it while cleaning out my files tonight. It is amazing what I can accomplish with no tv and my husband in Colombia!

Eagle Project
Eric is wrapping up his Eagle Project. We came up with approximately $538 when we calculated the donations. We turned them over to the VA today. What a good feeling to finish this up before starting high school next week.

Twins Are So Cute
I read an article today about how a family hit the jackpot with 2 sets of twins. I am not sure that's how I would describe 2 sets, but definitely 1 set!
