Major catch up

In March, we went several times to the creek behind our old house.  

Look at this wildlife oasis the city built behind where our house used to be!

In March, we also went to Tucson.

Nice thunderstorms in the city left Mount Lemmon with lots of snow!

It was fun watching Leo at his soccer games in April.  It was quite hot though!

Here, he and Fernando are kicking the ball around before the game starts.

Visiting the dinosaur tracks at the Cibolo Nature Center

Game time in May

At the beginning of May, I went to Leo's school to have lunch with him.  I brought tacos and we both had a good time.

On the steps of the porch at Fernando and Eva's house.

Big Mother's Day surprise from Guillermo.  I was at my mother's house on Mother's Day.  Guillermo was in Tucson.  When these flowers arrived, I assumed they were both for my mother.  What a shock it was to us to find out that one bouquet was for me also!  The delivery people were so tickled to see what a happy surprise this delivery was to all of us (my mother, me, and Linda).

Leo turned 7!

Having lunch again with this boy at his school on the day after his birthday!

We are on our way to Tucson!

Visiting Rose Canyon

Looking at the enormous tadpoles.

Our Airbnb had this perfect little yard where every single day there was a soccer game between the guys going on.  Rebeca and I played some too! The goal posts were white plastic chairs.  

What fun everyone had in the pool at Rebeca and Jason's house.

Visiting the zoo.  The next three pictures have always been "must take" pictures whenever we took Scotty to the zoo.  This time he had his cousin in the picture with him!

These boys were absolutely intent on finding in this aviary each and every bird that was listed on the sheet.  I think they found all but one.

Visiting the Desert Museum

Playing miniature golf.

Trip to Sabino Canyon.  We're having lunch before getting on the tram.

 

The boys helping Abuelito celebrate his birthday.

Driving back home we ran into an incredible dust storm after El Paso.  Visibility was never a problem, but the blowing dust was very strong.

It is now June.  Eva had to unexpectedly leave San Antonio while we were in Tucson because her father had a stroke.  It was a struggle trying to decide what was going to happen to the guinea pigs that Eva had stayed in San Antonio to take care of.  We finally found a good friend who agreed to take care of them till we returned from Tucson.

We had Leo over several nights in the two weeks before he and Fernando were to leave for Sweden themselves.  Leo and I enjoyed many trips to the neighborhood pool, playing pool soccer and also pretending the soccer ball was a chicken.

Now he and Fernando are in Newark waiting for their flight to Stockholm.
