Ok, actually the day before Independence Day. This photo was taken ten years ago today, when we were celebrating with some people from the church in Cuernavaca at Toby and Marilyn Casteel’s house. That was one full house!
One bonus retro picture for this month. This picture was taken ten years ago today in Cuernavaca. I believe these gals were out celebrating Michelle O’Brien’s birthday. So, from left to right…

Ten years ago today, at 7:49am – Hannah and Nathanael were heading off to their first day of school – all in Spanish – at Colegio del Bosque in Cuernavaca. Here they are, all ready with uniforms and backpacks.

10 years ago today – a birthday party in Cuernavaca! It was time for the piñata, but the birthday girl (in pink in the front of the line) would need a lot of convincing before she would actually start walloping “Stephanie”.
It was 2007 Рand in Mexico, LazyTown was all the rage. The pi̱ata here is made to look like Stephanie, one of the main characters.
Nathanael (in the striped shirt near the front) awaits his turn, with his older sister Hannah (hair just visible – you can’t really make it out in this tiny version of the picture) waiting further back in line.
The girls in the mini-skirts were a part of the company that ran the party.
Last month I hit the jackpot.
For whatever reason, years ago, we lost most of our pictures and videos from 2007. Usually we’re pretty obsessive about backing up pictures, but I searched everywhere for months and was only able to find the odd file.
But, amazingly enough, I found the pictures on an old drive (which I thought I would have checked!). Which means we’re seeing pictures and video from 10 years ago that we thought was lost forever!
So, one of these is this video from ten years ago today – Hannah and Nathanael in our yard in Cuernavaca, showing off a hummingbird feeder which we had made.
Ten years ago today – Hannah and Nathanael had their first birthday party in Mexico. Considering the plethora of new bugs where we lived in Cuernavaca, it was appropriate that the theme was – bugs! Or – small creatures, anyway. I realize that neither caterpillars nor spiders are technically “bugs”. 🙂
