It has been ages since I've been on my blog. Perhaps having a baby and moving to another country (again) has something to do with my absence. But being far away from friends and family and having them miss out on the little ones' growth and our new adventures has prompted me to get back on here at the very least to share photos of our new life in Nicaragua. There is no way to start where I last left off so I will start with what I know our families to the North and to the South would love to see...Eli's big third birthday party! I can't believe the boy is already 3. We hosted some families we've met through his school and through other networks here in Nicaragua to our house for some home baked goodies, some brinca brinca time, and of course a piñata all in the spirit of fire engines, Eli's obsession.
Here are some shots from the day (thanks to my dad for the photos as I did not even remember to take out my camera for the day).
Notice there are no pictures of Eli hitting the piñata because he refused to leave his post of jumping in the brinca brinca. I even tried carrying him over to the piñata only for him to run back to his preferred position. He had no interest in the big firetruck hanging in our backyard or the loads of candy that dropped down. But all the other kids did!

We go a little carried away with the fire engine theme and decor but we had fun making it all!
Stubborn piñata. I even broke the bat trying to break that thing open.
It was a fun day and at the end of it all we had an exhausted 3-year old and a defeated piñata.
Fire engine fun! So glad Dad and I were there to share.
