Mi Cumpleanos.


From Three to Twenty-Three.


Thank you so much for your emails, warm wishes, and kind words, it means so much especially being a million miles away from home. It was such a surprise to blog around and find special greetings on everyone's blogs {see here, here, here, here, here, and here}.

We spent the weekend in Banos {see post below}, and a friend here in Riobamba threw me a birthday party today. It was nice, but I sure did miss home. Does anybody else think 23 sounds so much older than 22 {I've always had a bit of a hard time growing up}? Thank you again for all of the love!

P.S. My favorite present was that Riv got baptized! Congrats Rivy we love you!

Carly! Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you had a fun day and I hope your travels are going well, and you are enjoying yourself. I very much remember you like you were in that picture. You were always a darling, and still are. I have the same problem with growing up, never much liked it. But 23 is very , very young!

Happy Birthday beautiful Carly! I loved reading everyone's birthday posts dedicated to you. You are lucky to have so many people who love you...but, let's be honest - who could help but love you. You are irresistable! I only knew you for a couple months and I love you for goodness sakes! I hope your birthday was wonderful. Keep posting your pretty photos - they are great!
