Let me begin by telling you that she smells like frosting and cake. These last two years are going by so fast it scares me. She is changing and verbalizing her needs. Our getaway seemed that it helped skyrocketing the process. She has found some independence and it is beautiful to watch.
Speaking of independence...
Ms.M was also filled with it. She for the first time used every Spanish word she had and dare to order food in Spanish. Proud like a peacock and filled with confidence...
Because sometimes we just need a pat on the back. A little something to remind us we are awesome and capable of doing anything if we focus. Raising awareness to my bi cultural girls is a must.
I am still reeling in from the trip. I honestly had not been inspired, touched and felt such great connections in a long time. I am still riding the Miami South Beach high.
While I was there I tripped and fell twice. Once at the Hard Rock Cafe and another at a movie screening. I fell so hard on my knees but yet I was praying to no one. I still laugh at the fact that these women continue their friendships with me...
No regard to the obvious fact that I will embarrass the shit out of them at any given time.
Their reaction to the ruined white pants at the movie screening?
Roll them up we are in Miami.
So I rocked the capris for the rest of the night.
Because that is what life is all about... Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up.
Looking forward to the weekend with local friends. Speaking of local friends Free Candy has their first album release on Friday night and this girl is meeting her peeps for what else?
Cuban food and some Punk rock music...
Have a great weekend peeps...
Stay Sweet!

aw, hugs to the fam. I'm enjoying all the wonderful pics. What a great experience.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your photos - and the way you weave them into a story!! It's been a while since I've been so inspired too. I have my post coming soon...just trying to piece it all together.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest regret about this trip is that I wasn't there for the entire time. I feel like I missed out on so much. But I am so happy with the time I was there.
Abrazos!
And your family is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
DeleteBeautiful family! Your trip looks so fun, I hope to visit Miami someday. I hear such good things about it.
ReplyDeleteIts ridiculous how proud of you I am. You can accomplish anything, and with that spirit have inspired me. This much needed trip was life changing ... the trip on your pants was to symbolize falling into the right pieces. Falling in love with people like these can make you weak in the knees. Good thing you have great legs for capris. The girls look amazing and more beautiful than ever. Every time we travel it changes us too. My kids seem to grow at full speed after that. Cant wait to hear of all of your new opportunities. TQM <3
