It’s Mother’s Day! So I took some time to make this video of the boys talking about their mom and what they love about her.
This is probably one of my favorite videos I’ve ever done.

We took a trip to the pyramids today. I took a lot of pictures, but this one is one of my favorites. Nathan has been studying the pyramids in homeschool, so it was great for him to see them up close and in person.
Bubbles with Yuri
One of our students comes over once a week to play with the kids and help them with their Spanish. She spends an hour or so with them, and she’s always bringing them fun gifts. The other day she brought chalk, which they absolutely love. Since she’s a graphic designer, she helps the kids turn the basketball court into a canvas.
This week, she brought some bubbles, so the kids played with her outside for a while, and I took the video above. You can also watch it on Vimeo.
It’s fun to watch our kids interact with our students. Sometimes being in another country is difficult, but God always provides people who step in and become “substitute family.”
Nathan’s birthday Party
I absolutely can’t believe that Nathan turned SEVEN last week. He has grown into a sweet little boy, and I am amazed everyday at how smart he is. (Remember this video of his birth?)
We had his party last Saturday with some friends, so of course I made a video of it. He still doesn’t like it when you sing to him, but that’s something you have to do at a birthday party.

Kids at the Pyramids
We took a trip to the pyramids today. I took a lot of pictures, but this one is one of my favorites. Nathan has been studying the pyramids in homeschool, so it was great for him to see them up close and in person.
We decided to only climb up the pyramid of the moon today. It was crazy because the steps are so big for Benjamin’s little legs, but we made it to the top.
It took us forever to come home. There was some kind of protest going on, so the whole highway was reduced to one lane, and the traffic was crazy (what’s new). Overall, it was a good day. I had fun hanging out with my boys.
Kids and Language
Sometimes our kids mix up English and Spanish, especially when they’re learning both languages at the same time. It’s a good problem to have, and it makes for really cute videos.
Being a “Third Culture Kid” isn’t easy, and being the parent of a Third Culture Kid isn’t easy, either. But it’s worth it. I’m happy my kids get to experience another culture and language. It’s a challenge, but it’s a privilege.
