Our home in Veracruz

The front of the house.  We can't park in the garage because our car is too tall so we park on the street!
This is basically the only furniture in the house.  If you look carefully, you can see some of our artwork!
This is where we hang laundry.  Most of our laundry is done at a laundry-mat because we have too much to do by hand!
Our courtyard in the back.
The kitchen.  Liv is the head chef in our home.

I finally remembered to take a few pictures of our home here in Veracruz.  It is a 3 bedroom house with hardly any furniture in it.  When we first arrived the kids about died when they saw the artwork on the walls.  Throughout the house there are paintings of 1/2 dressed women!  We had our first (but not last) lesson on cultural differences and somehow forgot about all of the naked picures and have just learned to live with them.  Pretty funny really...

Okay, I was thinking you were in a little Mexican hut, but now I see you are living quite well and comfortable! Looks great and at least it has tile floors and not old stinky carpet! Miss you guys more than you know!!!! Have fun!

Sweet pad!! I can't believe the life you guys are living right now. The kids look so adorable in their uniforms, the waterfalls and ruins are amazing and swimming with dolphins!!!! How cool!! One of these days we're going to do something like this- but we'll need you with us to maximize our fun potential. I can't say that I'm jealous because I'm so glad you guys get to do something like this but I wish we were there so bad!!! All I can say is HOW FUN!!!

Are you doing P90X with Michael? You look rock'in!

We can't wait to be with you guys at the cabin this summer!!!
