Isle de Padre

Can you say, "ready for the beach?"

We have been to South Padre Island twice now

and it has proved to be one of our favorite things

about Matamoros, albeit that it is in the US.

This is me walking out into the waves with a

colleague of mine and spouse of one another colleague.

(The smallest one is Simone; I guess you never know

with the DuBords.)

On our first trip to the beach, Simone screamed

bloody murder when the water hit her toes and

she scampered up my back.

This time, as you can see, see went charging

down to the waves and even stood on her

own in the water. Amazing what a couple

of weeks will do.

Saddle Up

So, when you live with one foot in Texas

and the other in Mexico, it seems appropriate

to get comfortable in a saddle.

Pony for the second birthday?

Tiny Finding Friends

These pictures were the last ones we took

before getting in the car to drive down to Mexico.

Ms. Keyonta and Ms. Pope, two of Simone's caregivers at

Tiny Findings, gave big hugs when we left.

We just wanted to say thanks

for all of the love and support that you gave

to Simone and our family during our

time at Tiny Findings. Simone likes

to sit and go through the scrapbook you made

of all her friends and she misses you all!

Outside at our New House

A glimpse of us enjoying our backyard in Mexico

after the lawn was freshly mowen this afternoon.
Simone and Ella both love having some grass to run

around on. Simone hears the word outside and

she runs to the door and starts beating on it.

I thought the dog was supposed to do that...
