Angel got back last night safe and sound. He and
his brother Omar went to Mexico to visit the
region where Angel is from. It had been
fifteen years since Angel had been there. I
survived going solo with the kids for two weeks.
He came bearing gifts. Stephen got a complete outfit.
He looks like those Mexican musicians (Ramon Ayala).
Stephen was so happy with his hat and everything dad gave him.
So much so that he was asking for more. Angel put our gifts in
his carry on and Stephen was saying "mas" and making the
sign for more. He wanted more gifts.
He stood by the big suitcase until Angel opened it. He
probably though "If he got all of this out of this small
carry-on what else does he have for me in this big one?"
There was nothing more for him, just dirty clothes.
We all got traditional Mexican outfits.
Victoria's dresses are cute, but we will have to wait to put them on.
They are too big for her now, but I am sure
she will soon grow into them.
We may need to have a Cinco de Mayo party next year.
