the homeland

oh the treats about being home...

since "operation: get out of central america" has come and passed, i thought i'd share little bits and pieces about being home to visit. so far i've been totally overloaded with love and treats -- 

1//targeeeeet, the place where anything can be bought.

2//magical manicures with mama {something i could never get myself to pay for on my own, but still love}

3//brother's last day of high school classes! oh, what a miracle.

4//my new morning friend, the classic french press. i know you're not supposed to put espresso ground coffee in there but, what the heck, i love that stuff.

5//the biggest {i mean for real} pizza i've ever eaten in my 23 years of life.

6//a treat to get to go to niece's gymnastics expo

7//kites at the park with friends

8//the classic "cute baby with large sunglasses on" picture {had to!}

9//reunited with the one and only alterra coffee {major happy face.} and no it doesn't embarrass me to be kissing a coffee cup.

10//wagon ride to the park

11//a bit of swing action

12//my favorite little girls in the whole wide world.

it's been a nice rest to be home with family and friends doing {normal} american things. 

good good news:: officially headed back to hondo in a little over a week. who hoooo!

next stop tomorrow:: the zoo. with many small children. oh boy.

happy sunday lovelies!
