We had a wonderful time celebrating the New Year with our family. I can't believe that this is the last time we have to "travel" to visit family!! As always, the kids were sad to leave, but consoled with the thought that 2 weeks from now we will be calling SA home!
While in SA we spent some time at El Mercado as well as at the Witte Museum. Actually, it was amusing to take the kids to see these sites because we acted like "tourists" instead of natives. Craig and I are SA natives but my kids aren't. The girls enjoyed pan dulce (sweet bread) and Aquas Frescas (fruit juice like lemonade, watermelon, cantelope) as well as some delicious gorditas.
EL MERCADO
FAMILY AND NEW YEAR
Here are Belle and Catherine with their great-grandmother.
Kids with their non-alcoholic bubblies. Kolbe wasn't able to stay up. Also my brother-in-law, my dad and my sweetheart!
WITTE MUSEUM
On New Year's Day we visited the Witte. This is Belle riding a bicycle on a tight rope above/next to the SA river at Brackenridge park. She talked me into trying it!! Can you hear me screaming and laughing? We got our membership so we can visit often.

Craig and I met in SA over 18 years ago. We fell in love in SA over 14 years ago. We were married over 10 years ago. Finally, we're moving back home to share this wonderful place with our 5 children (and more, God willing) and to be close to family once again. God is so good!
