Doug, Drew and I were at our friends surprise Birthday party last night. We had a blast and loved the company. The diversity of this country is amazing and we are so

thankful that we have had the opportunity to expose our family to the culture and lives of others. We enjoyed dinner with alot of different folks I have been working with

in the

property management business. I am still lacking Spanish but understand quiet a bit and body language goes a long way. I noticed that our Gardner and his wife didn't even

speak with each other or anyone around them. I love Jose and wonder what he was thinking sitting in a nice restaurant that he has never had the opportunity to afford.. Jose

was dressed in his Sunday best and was very handsome, his wife who is pregnant with I think there 4th child was dressed in a very nice dress. I am looking forward to asking

him what he thought and if he enjoyed everything. Jose may just be a man of few words.

I missed DWTS so I am excited to watch tonight, but we have another function at school that is in the evening. The Earth Day concert. Mariah is going to say something about

not burning things and making explosions...How fitting for our fear loving little one. I never told you guys that a few months back Mariah had a wonderful experiment with

fire and the end result was burning up the maids umbrella, should I remind you that life is never boring with the D-CREW.


Doug and I had a nice conference call with the psychologist yesterday. I feel overwhelmed with the task that we should accomplish and where she is going to go to school but

after a few days of analyzing I will chat about it.


We welcome this day with lots of bright sunshine and wonderful weather. I must say summer is definitely here in the DR. Hope you have a little shine in your

day.


Sending many hugs and lots of peace.
