We do!!!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Halloween this year was bitter sweet. Sa-weet because these Swanson's will dress up anytime anywhere, and Halloween is the one day of the year we can frolic in our love for costumes. Bitter because Jeff is back in the States working so we were a pig short for our 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf costumes! Oh and we miss him too :) It made most sense for Jeff to be the big bad wolf and me, G, and M to be the 3 little pigs...but G was not having it, so Jeff got bumped and joined the pigs...that was until he left for the US for work :( Don't worry though, we recruited another pig and alas Halloween was saved!! Our little buddy Micah stepped in and saved the day for the Swanson's! Thanks for piggin it up with us Micah!! G was still not super excited about being the big bad wolf so we softened the blow by saying he was a skate boarding werewolf...say what you will G, but we all know you were indeed the big bad wolf...who skate boards to all the 3 little pigs houses :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Halloween night we went golf cart trick or treating in Los Suenos. Mae had a Minnie Mouse costume because at first G wasn't sold on being the 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf, so she had an extra costume. It was so adorable, why not wear it also??? In fact why don't I just dye my support hose (I had to wear some after getting my gall bladder surgery) yellow, raid my closet, make some lame sauce felt duck feet, find a white boa and just be Daisy Duck with my little Minnie Mouse...why the heck not??? It was really fun but by the end of the night, we were all so exhausted! Besides missing Jeff the Swanson's had a great Halloween and as always throughly enjoyed dressing up in costumes!!! </div>

Super Mae is 3 months old!! This may come as a shock but we just love this little peanut more than anything!! The smiles and laughs continue! Sleep deprivation also continues :)</div>

Miss Mae you are babbling and laughing ALL the time! It's so fun! You have finally mastered napping for longer than 40 minutes...thank you I really appreciate that. You are G are quite the pair, you both frequently take over our bed in the wee hours of the morning squishing me and dad out, but it's pretty sweet so I will allow it for a bit longer :) G is curious why you have such light skin and why your hair is coming in blond since you are Tica...we aren't sure either but we are hopeful when G takes biology in high school he might find some answers for us. </div>

You have learned to roll over and there is no stopping you. You won't sleep on your back anymore, and we can't leave you on the bed or couch anymore you roll around every where!! Your laugh is so sweet, and you don't hold back, we can make you laugh most any time of the day. I like to think it's a combination of you having a sweet personality coupled with the fact I am really funny :) You have been on some pretty fun adventures in month 3, beach trips, school performances, birthday parties, a couple of counseling sessions with mom in which you talked the ENTIRE time thinking they were talking to you! You have become my little buddy who goes with me everywhere and for the most part are super happy to come along! You, me, and the stroller are pretty much unstoppable, there's not much we can't handle!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are truly the party girl (in a good way)! You love people and as long as people are around you are awake and smiling! A couple of quick cat naps and you would be fine as long as people are there when you wake up! I have to harness your extrovertness by putting you in a dark quiet room or else you will never sleep!! You simply love people and love to see what's going on around you. I have to admit, I am a little afraid of those extrovert signs you are showing...I don't know what I will do with a little extrovert!! When your face lights up with people around it reminds me of how your dad smiles when he's in a crowd of people. You 2 might be peas in a pod...G and I will watch y'all from the couch :) </div>

Yes it's true Gentry David just turned 9! I know us parents always say "I feel like it was just yesterday he was born"...but seriously that's exactly what I feel like! I no longer have a baby, a toddler, a little boy, I have a full blown kid!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tell him often, I wish you were still little, but I love that you are growing up. I'm starting to feel ill-equipped for the next stages in life with him. Up until this point costumes and superheroes have pretty much solved every problem that comes our way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From birth to 2 all he needed was mom :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From 2-5 all the kid needed was a costume to make his day...some home made, some store bought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he was scared to go to preschool, we let wear his monkey costume that he loved and wore almost everyday. Then he started school and just needed his buddies Wyatt or Asher and a pile of super heroes and Lego's to build an amazing super-hero hide out for 3 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now...he loves skating, surfing, video games, neighborhood soccer games, crazy hair, and occassionaly has an attitude that will knock your socks off! He even looks adults in the eye and speaks with them!!! Where did that come from?? Who are you and what did you do with my fluffly headed costume wearing superhero that only spoke to other costumed superheros? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the last year the closest thing I have seen to a costume is his school uniform, and occasionally super-heroes make their way into the tub if he takes a bath, but even then they are left there for weeks before he notices them missing. I realized the other day I like having them there, I could put them away in his room, but there's a piece of me that can't bear to put them up for fear they may never return to the tub. I'm going to miss those guys, and the day those superheros have their last mission in our tub will certainly be a sad day. They have fought and served hard for this family, they all deserve purple hearts for the sacrifices they have made in order to complete their missions. There will always be a special place in my heart and I will forever be grateful for Spidey, Captain A, Iron Man, Batman, Hawk Eye, Hulk, Captain Jack, Davey Jones, Black Panther, Thor, The Rock, John Cena, and the countless others sitting in the bottom of his toy chest that have provided support services, for all the hours of fun, adventure, and sheer joy they have brought to our lives. From this 4 star General mom, I salute you all and will miss you more than you will ever know.</div>

When G's birthday rolled around this year, I had a small glimmer of hope that we could have just one last costume party to go out of child-hood with a bang, but clearly that boat has sailed and I would not be appearing as Bat Woman this year :( So in the kitchen one night all alone eating some cookies I wiped a couple of tears away realizing my baby boy is indeed growing up and decided I needed to jump on his fun kid train and ride it all the way to the pre-teen years! There I will undoubtedly stop for some more tear shedding, regather myself, and force myself back onto the train we call growing up. One train stop at a time I will watch this sweet boy grow up and hopefully learn to enjoy the scenery as we pass through the terrains of life together.</div>

G wanted a skate party...of course he did! Adding insult to injury G wanted a big party!! Insult you wonder? I'm going to let you in on a little secret about the Costa Rican culture...birthday parties are a BIG FREAKIN deal! No spankin joke nearly every birthday party we have attended of Gentry's classmates includes a full blown meal and not just any meal...pretty darn amazing meals! In fact the week before Gentry's party we went to one that had a legit pig roast...yes you read that correctly a pig roast with an entire table full of sides to choose from. Also these Ticos love to party, so parties are HOURS long in fact the invitations never have an end time (numerous parties have hit the 6 hour mark...I'm so not kidding), and seriously Gentry usually comes home with as many goodies as the birthday kid. And last but not least there is ALWAYS and when I say ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS a pinata filled to the absolute top so every child comes home with oodles of candy. Now that all sounds like great fun and all, but let's take a step back and remember that I am not a Costa Rican and the thought of hanging out with people and being in charge of a bunch of screaming kids for an unspecified amount of time where oodles of sugar is involved just about sends this introvert into a panic attack!!! (Please wait while I breath into my paper bag now!!!) </div>

The reality was, the normal 2 hour, cutesy pinterest gringo party I can pull off was not going to cut it; and that article I recently read about birthday parties should only be about the birthday kid and other kids don't need goodie bags to help teach them the world doesn't revolve around them went right out the window. I will let someone else start that trend here in Costa Rica. Game faces were on to try and at least attempt to give G a Costa Rican birthday party. First things first...time. I couldn't bring myself to have the all day ongoing party without an end time, but we did make the party 3 hours instead of 2. I felt like that was a good way to ease myself into this party culture. Next thing... food. How do I even compete with a pig roast? Well these gringos put our best foot forward and decided to serve pancakes, G was thrilled, and yes clearly we are so gringo. Goody bags and pinata were filled and the skate park was reserved. All systems go for our first attempt at a party here in Costa Rica. </div>

It ended up being so much fun. Besides skating a good friend of ours wrote the kids names in graffitti on little canvases and then the kids painted them. The kids love it, and Rafa was so gracious to come on a Saturday morning to a kids birthday party!! He's a pretty awesome dude! Overall it was a success and G skated into his 9th year with good friends and pancakes!! It might not have been the superhero themed costumed party I am used to, but I am embracing this new stage of growing up and am excited (and a little scared) to walk hand in hand with Jeff as we navigate through parenthood together. </div>

Little Miss Mae is 2 months old and man what a difference a month makes. Month 1 was full of crying and well some more crying! Month 2 rolled around and I think she finally decided she liked us cause she is full of giggles, smiles, coos, and some pretty awesome sleeping at night. I don't blame her, it takes a bit to realize we aren't as crazy as we appear and are actually okay people to hang out with. </div>

Miss Mae you are just so adorable. I am loving life with you. You, me, and the stroller take on the streets of Jaco everyday and you have made quite a little co-pilot! Bedtime is still between 7 and 8 and you are waking up around 3 to eat and then sleep till about 7. When you wake up at 7 you literally scream until we turn the light on, at which time you instantly smile, coo, and laugh for about 10 minutes until you realize you are absolutely starving :) Your laugh is hysterical! Instead of letting air out, you suck in to laugh making the funniest noise! I have yet to get it on video but am trying my hardest to capture your sweet laugh that sends your brother into giggles every time you do it. Your eyes are still a dark blue, and much darker than any of ours!</div>

Big brother is definitely your biggest fan. I recently heard him tell his friend not to touch you because "she is sleeping and you have your own little brother!" Yikes, sorry Cam I think G realizes what he's been missing out on this whole time and is trying to make up for lost time. Maelie Bug, apparently you talk to big brother G...all the time. What are we chopped liver????? We are only getting the coo's and giggles!! He tells us all the time all the amazing things you say things to him when we aren't around, and I agree with him, you must be the absolute smartest baby ever!! I don't understand why you won't talk to us like you do with him, must be a special brother/sister bond. :) We definitely look forward to hearing all those words you are saying, maybe in about 2 years you will feel comfortable enough to actually talk in front of dad and I!</div>

This month dad, you, and I went to immigration to start the residency process. Up until this point we have left every 90 days to renew our visa's. It's quite annoying to say the least, but now since you are here little woman, we don't have to!! Thanks for pulling your weight around here, oh which by the way is an impressive 10.8 pounds! </div>

So here's the scoop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My due date was July 17th. Sadly that day came and went with no baby in tow...well actually she was in tow, just not in my arms. Our family motto after that day was "Due Dates are Dumb" because seriously we were all just so ready for her to be here! I had volunteered to be in charge of a celebration dinner we were having at church on the 19th. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Now you might ask, why would you volunteer to be in charge of an event so close to your due date? Well because I had convinced myself that baby would come 2-3 weeks early and I would have everything done before hand for the event and just be toting a cute little 2 week old baby to the event...duh!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All along Jeff has said, "your going to go into labor the night after the church event", and all along I have thought "what does he know, he's not even pregnant, I will show him when we have this baby 2 weeks early". Well the day of the event came and we headed up to the church about 3pm and had a great night celebrating, eating delicious food, and hanging with some awesome people. I felt really good all day but as the day and night went on, I did notice that my belly was REALLY hard and I didn't feel as comfortable as I had been, I kept squirming in my seat to get my big ole belly comfortable and nothing was working. But no cause for alarm because I wasn't feeling contractions and still felt good. Any-hoo, by the time the event was over and we got home it was around 10pm. As you can imagine carrying that belly around all afternoon and evening was hard work and I was soooooo tired. I headed straight to bed and was hard core pregnancy snoring by 11!</div>

<br /></div>
One of my biggest fears during my whole pregnancy was the fact we live so far from the hospital and might have to drive in the middle of the night with crazy rain. I literally prayed every night to not go into labor in the middle of the night, that it would be during the day, and that it would preferably be on a Friday morning (I wish I was joking about the specific prayer but I'm not). Night driving is not our favorite since Jeff was in the wreck back in April during the middle of the night. Well of course at 1am (not during the day, and not on a Friday) I woke up and was having contractions. Although I had been having contractions on and off for a couple of weeks so wasn't entirely convinced (we had already made 1 false alarm trip to the hospital that's an hour and a half away in the middle of the night that I was embarrassed about, and I really wasn't feeling like being the clueless pregnant lady who clearly doesn't know what labor is again). Subconsciously I must have known they were different cause I woke Jeff up right away, and usually I didn't even wake him up when I had contractions during the night. For some reason Jeff knew it was the real thing. He jumped up and started getting things ready, at which point I started to try and talk both of us out of it being real. I took a shower...contractions continued; I ate some fruit...contractions continued; I went for a walk around our neighborhood...contractions continued; laid back down in bed...contractions continued; I started crying and assuring Jeff it was not time to go...contractions continued. So at 3am Jeff had to coax me into the car and sweetly convince me I could do this, cause seriously all I kept thinking was "oh crap, I remember how awful this is, it's horrible, how am I going to do this again!!!". He called our friend Sara who was on call to keep G and told her it was go time. She had loaned us her car at nights until the baby came (she was just as nervous, if not more nervous for me to go into labor during the night) so we took a sleeping Gentry over to her. She was standing on the sidewalk ready to take him, Jeff handed a bag and a sleep walking G to her, and I don't think I said anything to her although I really was thinking "please help me, your my last hope to jump ship". <br />

*Side Note*</div>
Having G was not the greatest experience. I was in denial most of the pregnancy so didn't see a need to take any classes or educate myself about what was going to happen during labor. Jeff was serving in Iraq, flew home 2 days before we induced labor which was 2 weeks early so clearly didn't read or know what the heck we were getting into. I wish I had a picture of us both checking into the hospital that night, I'm pretty sure both of us had these care free looks like "hi were here to pick up our child" like we were picking up dry cleaning or something. The poor nurses probably still talk about the weird girl who would not put on the hospital gown, would not take off her yoga pants, ordered her poor husband out of the labor room right when it was time to push because she was too nervous and they had to convince her to let him back in. That plus not getting the epidural like I had planned cause the 1 anesthesiologist in the little hospital had 2 emergency c-sections, and G taking his sweet time in coming made for a not so great experience for a young woman who wasn't entirely ready to do this thing they call motherhood. <br />
<br />
This time around Jeff and I read a couple of books, took an online class, I did my pregnancy work-outs all 9 months, walked almost everyday throughout my pregnancy, did daily belly breathing, and followed all the "how to's" for "an easy, natural labor". For all practical purposes we were ready to blow the roof off labor! But as I realized it was really time, all I could think about was how painfully awful labor is and how torturous it was!! Jeff was great, the entire ride to the hospital he talked me off my cliff, reminded me of all the things we read and how prepared we were for this, how sweet we finally get to meet our baby girl, how strong I was, basically all the things he was supposed to tell me according to the books we read :) <br />
<br />
When we got to the hospital at 5am they sent me up to the maternity ward to see if I was indeed in labor. They don't check you in the ER, they send you directly to the baby people! The nurse put the monitor on and checked me. I was having strong consistent contractions, and dilated to a 2 (that kinda sucked I was really hoping for at least an 8). They took us to a room, I put on my own labor clothes (I really have an issue with the gowns, I just hate them, I don't put them on until I absolutely have to, seriously hate them), and game faces were on. <br />

After that contractions seemed to get more intense pretty quickly. Jeff was a doll, he was seriously by my side the entire time, supporting me saying all the right things, offering help and holding my hand or rubbing my back every singe contraction, he was textbook good! The staff was great and accommodated us in whatever we wanted, which was basically leave me the heck alone :) They would quietly check but for the most part left us to wait on baby to come. About 8:30 I felt like contractions were strong enough I wanted to be checked and I was a 6! Usually they call the Dr. to come when someone dilates to a 5 and the Dr. is with you the rest of labor. So they called Dr. Paer to come which took him about 45 minutes to get there. When he got there I had dilated to an 8 and so he started setting up the birthing pool. By this point I was non-verbal and thinking that if the one nurse in the room sweetly touched my back again, I was going to snap her wrist in half in one swift move. The soothing music Jeff had put on was driving me insane and got turned off, and I was seriously doubting my ability to make good decisions in life, because why on earth would someone go through this??? Jeff kept saying "Ash, she's so close to being here, we are about to meet our little girl", which was really good because in all honesty I couldn't remember why we were at the hospital, and why in the heck was I in so much ever loving pain????<br />

I felt like it took hours to fill that stupid pool!! In my mind, and according to all the prep work and studying I had done, that pool was going to be my saving grace. I mean let's be honest if , it's "soothing, comforting, relaxing", you are "60% less likely to ask for pain medication", you are "able to move your body in the perfect labor position", "increases a laboring woman's energy", "helps mothers body to produce endorphins serving as pain killers", and "it eases your baby's transition into this world", who wouldn't jump in that tub??? It's magical right?? I couldn't wait to hop on in, I had done all the hard work, it was all downhill from here! At least that's what I thought :)<br />
<br />
When the birthing pool was ready the Dr. checked me and said I was totally dilated and ready to push, so get in the pool and push when I'm ready! I don't think I showed it on my face but I was thrilled beyond measure!! Now let me assure you, there was no instant relief when I got in, those so called feelings of comfort and relaxing, the perfect labor position, the energy and pain killers that magically appear on the wings of flying unicorns were no where to be found in the pool...not so textbook. Paer must have brought the wrong pool!!!! I wanted the one with fairy dust pain killers and a side of chamomile tea! Since Paer brought the wrong pool I was in the pool pushing for an hour and half at which time I had to get out because he only let's you labor in the pool for a max of that. Little girl was taking her sweet ever so painful time, just like her older brother. She hadn't moved down any and he said I might be pushing for a while longer, at which point I started crying because seriously that's just ridiculous, pushing is supposed to be the shortest part! Where did my text book, all natural, embracing what your body naturally does labor go? <br />

Jeff was standing there hugging me as I cried, when Dr Paer threw out the word epidural...I instantly threw my hands up in there air and said I give! Yes I want the epidural!! (This is also where I gave in and put on that awful hospital gown, they broke me) Now mind you, Jeff was under strict orders to ward off the epidural like it was the plague, I HATE needles, HATE hospitals, and really do believe that our body was created to do amazing things like child birth and any day of the week would choose the natural method over modern medicine...but not today. Jeff had that deer in the headlight look, because he has been lectured for months about how no matter what I say during labor, it's his job to help me make it through without unnecessary interventions. I can't tell you how many times I told him "No matter what I say, no epidurals!" So he gently said "Ash you told me no matter what you didn't want one, you can do this, we are so close now", poor guy was going to loose no matter what happened at that point. Standing there squeezing his arms, I told him to forget everything I had told him before and I for sure 100% no matter what wanted an epidural at that moment. He read the look in my eyes correctly cause he made the right decision :) The bummer was it took another 30 minutes for the anesthesiologist to get there, and by the time he finally got there, I hated him.<br />
<br />
Now let's talk about comfort, relaxing, pain killers, and a renewed energy...I was a new woman for the last 45 minutes of labor, I resumed normal signs of communication and just kept thanking the anesthesiologist and telling him how much better I felt. He was really sweet, he must have known I hated him for taking 30 minutes to get to the hospital, so he was going over and beyond to win my approval. He won me over, he became my 4th cheerleader in the room. He sat up by my head and encouraged me and told me I was doing wonderful the rest of the time. I will forgive him just this once, but seriously he better not let that happen again. I can't tell you how thankful I am for that horribly long scary needle they call epidural. I will drink chamomile tea with him any day of the week. <br />

It was another 45 minutes about 12:10pm before little missy made her way into the world, and nothing else mattered once I held that sweet precious baby. The long night and day, awful pain, lack of magical unicorns, and doctors who take there sweet sweet time, all disappeared as I got to hold this little gift from God. Nothing in the world mattered but that tiny little sweet baby girl, and I was simply deeply in love. </div>

Whew, what a journey right? I'm in awe of how this whole process started a full 9 months ago, the transition my body went through over those 9 months, the long 12 hours of labor, and how it all brought us to this sweet moment where we have a baby girl. God is so good!<br />
<br />
While labor is...labor, we had a great experience at the hospital here in Costa Rica. It was very different from the States and overall we would both say our experience here was better. The biggest difference being there was much more focus on me as a person. Our Dr. was delivering our baby no matter what day or time she came. Although he didn't get there until closer to the end, because I dilated really quickly, he was there the rest of the time and never left. I didn't feel rushed or like a stranger came in at the very end to catch the baby and leave, I really appreciated the emphasis on the relationship and respect for what I wanted. At one point it was rather funny as I realized there was only me and 4 men in the delivery room: my husband/biggest supporter, my doctor/coach, the pediatrician/baby's coach, and the anesthesiologist who sat up by my head and no joke gently patted my head telling me how amazing I was...also no joke I felt so encouraged and thankful for all 4 of those men, they really did an amazing job at bringing sweet Mae into the world! Who knew a group of men could be so supportive, compassionate, and gentle???? Take that traditional gender roles! :)<br />
<br />
Our Dr's spoke perfect English and most other people spoke enough English we had no problems. The only misunderstanding was when I asked one of the nurses for some ibuprofen for swelling and she told me that ibuprofen wouldn't help me, I would just need to work out to get rid of my stomach! Hahahaha Jeff and I couldn't quit laughing :)<br />

We had a bit of a hard time naming our sweet girl. I had a list of about 5 names we liked, but we really hadn't agreed on one. We both figured when she was born she would fit one of them and we would know. Guess what, she didn't look like any of the names! When the lady came in to give us her registry of birth the next day, we knew we had to name our sweet girl. We settled on Maelie Hope which we both love, but there have been moments of weakness where I think we should have named her something else, but Maelie Hope she is!<br />

The original plan was to have someone bring G up to the hospital so he could meet little sis. After we got settled in back in our room and able to have visitors it was mid afternoon we figured it would be easier on everyone if they didn't have to make the trip to San Jose that late in the day, and we were so tired it made sense to just let him meet little sis the next day when we got discharged and got home. The unfortunate part was we didn't get discharged the next day, but weren't sure what was happening until later in the day, so he ended up not meeting Maelie Bug until Tuesday when we got home. It all worked out and he was happily playing with his buddy Cameron so he didn't mind a bit that we were gone for 3 whole days :) <br />
<br />
I can't even express how blessed we are here with dear friends. There was a group of our friends that were all on call at a moments notice to take G, Molly, us, anything we needed when baby came. I was so thankful to know that Gentry and Molly were in great care. Between the Sara, Sarah, Pamela, and Dale, there was literally nothing for us to worry about. You ladies are a true gift from God, I am so thankful I am for each of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, I owe you all!!<br />
<br />
G did not get to wear the outfit he had picked out to meet his sister in like he had planned cause he was coming home from school :) His response was really sweet. He was not overly excited or happy, but very curious about little Mae. He mostly stared at, poked, and at the end of the night had one last meltdown about not wanting a baby, but it was minor and he has been all smiles since :) He loves her a little more each day.<br />

Maelie is 1 month old today! I can't believe how fast this month has gone, and at the same time I feel like she has been apart of our family forever. In the past month life has significantly changed (obviously). For starters I have 2 kids now :) My hair is always crazy, I hardly have any makeup on and if I do it's usually only half a side done, I am exhausted beyond measure, have washed a dozen loads of laundry ENTIRELY of pink and purple clothes, blankets, burp cloths, have been pooped on twice in 1 day, nursed more hours of the day than I care to count, bounced and shushed for hours as little Mae screams her way into my heart, but most of all I have cuddled, held and stared at for hours, adored, taken a bazillion pictures, and fallen in love with this little peanut that God gave us. <br />

In the first month Maelie Hope has already acquired a couple of nicknames: Mae; Mae Mae; Maelie Moe; M; little Mae; little Woman; Baby Mae; Maeweee (G's contribution); Super Mae (also G's contribution); Mighty Mae (also G)<br />
<br />
Sweet Maelie Hope we love you so much! You are a bit of a crier...or a lot of a crier :) You are a girl who knows what she wants, if only we knew trust me we would move Heaven and Earth to get it for you! You have the prettiest dark blue eyes. You look so much like your big brother G, so much so he thought a picture of him was you! You LOVE being in the stroller and sometimes it's where we let you sleep so you won't cry. You love having your little hands right up by your face, and sucking on your hand. You have started smiling at us when we talk you. You LOVE bath time and coconut oil baby massages! Your bedtime is between 7 and 7:30 and you are sleeping 4 hour stretches until about 8am (knocking on wood). You are a noisy little nurser and grunt and coo the entire time you nurse :) We love all your funny/sweet faces and G and I often make a game out of talking for you in funny voices saying what we think you would say according to your face...it's quite hilarious sometimes :)<br />

Sometimes you randomly flail your arms and punch yourself in the face, which your big brother G thinks is hilarious. Big brother G loves you more than he could have ever imagined, he adoringly calls you "his baby" when he talks about you at school or to other people, and ask every night for you to come lay in bed with us when I read to him. He has gotten in trouble a couple of times when you have been sleeping because he sneaks in and talks to you and starts tickling your feet or hands cause he "just wanted to see Maeweeee".<br />

You are certainly loved little woman. It's only been a month and you have turned our world upside down with little girl sweetness...along with some sleepless nights, and lots of crying, but mostly just little girl sweetness. I have asked your dad on numerous occasions "why did we wait so long to have one of these?" We love you so much!!<br />

My dear friends had the sweetest/funniest baby shower for baby girl Swanson! I felt so loved and blessed by everyone who came. While this pregnancy has been so great from beginning to end (although today is my due date and as far as I can tell there is no end in sight yet), I have been so sad knowing I will be having a baby without my mom and sister here. I would say it's definitely been one of the things that makes me saddest about living so far away and about this pregnancy. <br />
My dad wrote a note that they gave to me at the shower which was so sweet and one of my favorite things about the shower. My heart was filled with joy to read his words and yet quickly filled with the saddness and pain of not having them near to celebrate this sweet time with us. We are counting down the days until we are going home and they get to meet baby girl!<br />
<br />
Even though my blood family can't be here, I have been so blessed by "family" here in Costa Rica and the baby shower reminded me of how blessed I am to have such a great support system here, and I really am so thankful for that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so fun opening each gift and getting little pink, purple, yellow ruffled things. So weird!!! When I got home, I literally took everything out again and looked at every single thing to help it sink in, that yes indeed I was having a baby, and yes indeed it was a girl! Or at least I hope so at this point :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
G walked in from being at a friends house and saw everything on the table and said "Are you kidding me???? This is all for the baby? Babies are tiny and don't even do anything and every single thing is pink! Is there anything in there for me?" Luckily I did bring him back some cake pops so it ended up being okay in his book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">DEETS!</span></span><br />
If there's one thing I love about parties, it's the little details of things! Everything at the shower had the "pop" theme. It was so cute!<br />

For my mothers day gift Gentry wrote me a song, but of course could not perform it because "I am not a performer", but luckily he has a dad who can strum the guitar and sing, so they make a pretty good team. </div>

"We love you Mom"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lyrics By Gentry Swanson</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Performed By Jeff Swanson</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*My favorite thing about my mom, is when she takes me to school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If she did not take me to school, I wouldn't know a thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cause we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom is very funny, when she tickles me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's really nice because she does everything for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Mother's Day I'm gonna make you feel great</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like bake you a cookie cake, I love you mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love you mom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I am also 30 weeks pregnant on this Mother's Day!! Eeeeks I can't believe in 10 short weeks (give or take) I will be the mother of 2 and mother of a girl!! So for my last Mother's Day being only Gentry's mom I thought I would reflect on some of the reasons I am so thankful to be your mom sweet boy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. You showed me more than anything else that has happened in my life, that God knows me so much better than I know myself. You have been and always will be the greatest surprise of my life!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Your a boy after my own heart and I "get" this side of you: Your an introvert but you love people, you wear you heart on your sleeves (actually you kinda hide it until we have long talks where you spill your little heart out about how your feeling), you love to cuddle, you love reading Harry Potter with me, you have crazy wild hair like me and a crazy wild spirit like your dad, you love sleep :), your funny, loving, caring, and compassionate for others, you know how to work the system giving me hugs and kisses when you really want to do something (I'm okay with you working it, cause I know those sweet kisses and hugs will get further and far between and so I cherish every one, even if there is alternative motives behind them).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Your a boy after dad's own heart and he "gets" this side of you: You love the water from morning till night you could be in the ocean (much of the time farther out than I would appreciate, but again this is the side dad gets), your a true little artist, bodily functions and the word poop is your normal daily vocabulary for many things that have nothing to do with poop or bodily functions, showers are a bit overrated right now, underwear is optional on most days, and letting Molly eat the crumbs off your stomach while you lay on the floor watching TV is a perfectly acceptable mode of "cleaning up".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. You have been an only child for almost 9 years and in all honesty I have loved every minute of having just you for that time! What a blessing it has been to be able to be available to you and love on you for a full 9 years before a little sis finally comes into the picture! And just in time as you don't need mom quite as much as you used to :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Your you. I smile (most of the time) when you remind me "mom you said it's important to be me, and that's just what I'm doing", because it's true, I simply just love you and love being your mom. Sure there are days that I wish so bad you would go along with a hair cut and let me brush it and make it all "nice" for school, or I wish you would be a little more friendly to people you don't know as well, but at the end of the day, I love you, and I love that your you crazy hair, introverted, sweet smiling surfer boy Gentry David and I would never want to change anything about you (except a hair cut...I'm just kidding let the crazy curls fly!)!<br />
<br />
6. You daily push me to seek the Lord more and more. Often times it's because I don't know what the heck I'm doing!! Whether it's me losing my tempter cause I just need you to remember all 7 provinces of Costa Rica and the 4 important facts about them (and I'm so tired and pregnant for heaven's sake), you loosing it cause something messed up on your video game and your convinced it's the end of the world or you don't get to play with friends at the exact moment you would like to, us laughing in your bed cause Dudley Dursley got what was coming to him from Harry Potter, you telling me you forgive me after I've lost it about the dang provinces, sitting at the table as you tell us about your day, or me being able to listen and extend grace to you after a rather ridiculous meltdown, I am daily reminded that you are and will always be an intricate part of my journey to know the Lord more, and without you, I would not be the women/mom I am today. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly I truly love being your mom, thanks for being apart of my journey to know Christ more deeply. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As G and Jeff sang their sweet song, and I thought about all the reasons I love being a mom and how blessed I have been, I was also reminded of how sometimes we don't always get what we want, or it doesn't look like we thought, or we regret choices we made. I think Mother's Day can be one of those days for many of us women. Sure it's a great day to celebrate moms! We are pretty awesome right? But what about the women who don't fit the traditional definition of "mom", but are still pretty awesome too???? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across this great blog that talked about the different "mother roles" and how they can all be honored. As great of a day Mother's Day is, it can also be a day that brings pain and disappointment to women in different situations. The list was so great I thought I would share it. To all "moms" in different stages, whatever your "mom" role is/was/wants/wishes to be, tomorrow is for you and I hope you all have a wonderful day!</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
EEEEEEEKS!!!! The Swanson house is about to add a baby girl to the mix!! WHAT????? Our house is literally split down the middle on how we feel about this precious little girl coming our way. From the beginning Jeff has wanted a girl, G has adamantly said "neither, but a boy or nothing!", and I have been indifferent. The above picture captures all of our responses perfectly :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We wanted to find out what we were having but wanted it to just be the two of initially, so we had our Dr. write it on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope so Jeff and I could go to lunch together and open it. When game time came we were both kind of nervous and I could not decide what was the best way for us to open it (When it comes to small relatively<span style="background-color: white;"> menial</span> decisions in life like how we should open the envelope to find out what we are having I literally can't make up mind because there's too many options that COULD be the better choice. Give me life or death decisions any day but seriously the small details in life somebody just make them for me otherwise we will be here discussing this decision for the next week)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our time at lunch began to go down the "Ash path of too many options" for opening the envelope and so my dear husband decided he would open it, and buy a little gift that would tell me. Thank goodness he just made the executive decision because all I was thinking was, "which one of us should open the envelope, should the other one film it or take a picture, what if Jeff is disappointed if it's a boy, what if I secretly wanted a boy or a girl, should have gotten someone to capture the moment on camera besides just us two, and so on and so on, so much so I couldn't bring myself to open the dang envelope!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we parted ways after lunch and I headed to the bookstore to find G a new book, and Jeff headed to the baby store to open the envelope and buy a gift. When we met up he had a great poker face, I literally couldn't tell if he was disappointed or doing an awesome job keeping the suspense. Up until the point I opened the envelope I really hadn't cared one way or the other, so I was surprised at my response in finding out it was a girl. I was super excited, shocked, and of course my mind instantly starting going down my "Ash path of too many options"... I don't know how to braid hair, how do you potty train a girl...G ran around our backyard naked for a week and it worked, what if she loves Barbies...I hate them, I hope she always knows she is beautiful because God created her exactly how He wanted her, please don't let her struggle with body image issues...she is beautiful, for G a diaper was a perfectly acceptable outfit...I think girls require more than that, I hope she will always find her worth in Christ not by what some man tells her, hormones...high school...and hormones, she is not watching Beauty and the Beast...worst girl movie ever...you can't change a raging beast into your prince charming by just loving him, it will never happen, it's called abuse!! That was just the first 10 seconds after finding out :) I laugh/cried for the next 30 minutes as Jeff and I talked about a GIRL!! He was so cute an excited as soon as I opened it he didn't stop smiling ear to ear for the rest of the day. I am sooooo excited to share life with a sweet baby girl, just feels so weird after almost 9 years of straight up boy life! Bring on the pink baby!!</div>

I'm pretty sure the pics we have of G's response pretty much explain everything he was feeling. Even though he was devastated at first and cried the rest of the night, he does on occasion say sweet things about the baby and when he feels her kick in my stomach says "hey little sister you stop kicking your big brother" I actually think he's excited but embarrassed to admit it, which is fine. Work through the feelings little man, your wife will appreciate your ability to do that someday!</div>

In reality we have known that we were pregnant since a little before Thanksgiving, but it hasn't been until recently that it is setting in that we are INDEED PREGNANT! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly have no huge complaints with this pregnancy. (well maybe a few...like some normal pregnancy uncomfortables, I seriously just need some Chipotle barbacoa tacos with guacamole, and it's so spankin hot here I feel like I AM an oven living IN an oven and I would love my family and everyone else around so much more if air conditiong was a part of normal life here!!!!!!!) I have felt really good, no morning sickness, no huge aches and pains, no food aversions (in fact I really just like food in general!). Life has continued as normal for the most part and I haven't felt like I have had to slow down too much. There are the normal things like falling asleep at 8pm every night (sometimes while reading to G, or even twice while praying with him!), or the occassional food swings but other than that, I feel really good and sometimes forget I am pregnant. I haven't even felt super emotional (unless I'm hungry) and haven't had any crazy mood swings. (I will admit this last statement is from my persepctive and Jeff might have different thoughts, but it's my blog and I'll write what I want to, and I think I have been rather peachy for a hot (I mean temperature outside) preggo lady :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Note: Food swings are not to be confused with mood swings. Food swings are when you are so hungry, nothing matters at all until you get food in your stomach. They happen when you least expect it and are usually accompanied by uncontrollable tears, and an inability to make up your mind on what exaclty you need, you simply know you need food asap. In most cases your son says "get mom whatever food she needs now, she is really sad about being hungry" and your husband either runs around the kitchen taking things out of the cabinet or fridge showing you all the options trying to make the tears stop or if you are in the car quickly learns to drive to whatever restaurant is closest that he knows you like. The food swing instantly goes away as soon as you get food in your stomach, it's a fairly quick recovery and as long as you have food readily available wherever you are, you should not be in any danger. Your husband should take precautionary measures in case you should ever be caught without food. Tissues and accomodating gentle responses will get him and any innocent bystanders enough time to get you to the nearest emergency food source. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
All that to say week 18 rolled around and it was clearly evident that there was a pregnancy in the house! I was in my bedroom with the air cranked up as low as it would go watching Downton Abbey. I stormed out of the room after the finale of season 3 where my (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) darling Mathew Crawley dies moments after he and Lady Mary Crawley have their first baby! (To the writers of Downton Abby, shame on you! Rude! That's all I have to say about you people) In utter shock and disaray, with tears in my eyes I stumbled out into the living room to share the shocking news with Jeff, only to find Jeff with misty eyes watching the ending of The Pursuit of Happiness. (To all you men out there just waiting to pounce on my husband for having emotions, zip it, man up and acknowledge you occassionaly have them too unless you're a heartless bloak completely out of touch with the real world.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat and watched the ending of The Pursuit of Happiness with Jeff which just made me cry more. After the movie he said throughout the movie he went into G's room a couple of times and snuck some kisses and hugs to G cause he was so thankful for our lives and G, and I then proceeded to explain to Jeff how devastating losing Mathew was to Downton, and more importantly how it impacted me...and it was then in mid story when I realized and actually said aloud "wait a minute, I'm so pregnant, and this pregnant lady is rubbing off on you!" After which we both just started laughing, acknowledging that our emotions might be heightened and we were most definitely pregnant :) (I hold true to the statement that I have "not had any crazy mood swings")</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not kidding the very next morning I woke up and I felt the hard little tummy pouch! Up until then it still just felt and looked like the ever so hated chub stage of pregnancy! It was like we had to acknowledge we were pregnant or something before the little pouch showed up :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was also in week 18 that Gentry flung himself on the floor before school frantickly trying to put his belt on all while crying "my arms don't work, they can't put my belt on, I can't go to school without a belt"...I'm gonna chalk that off to pregnancy hormones too...certainly not a bratty 8 year old fit from a boy who went surfing at 5:30 am the day before with his dad and was ridiculously tired...yes most definitly pregnancy hormones. </div>

<br />
This is Jeff back for another guest blog post. It is Valentines Day after all! I have been feeling lately that I haven't been doing a good job of letting Ashlie know how much I appreciate her for all that she is. Basically I do a great job of telling her how beautiful she is but she means so much more to me. So this Valentines Day I want to tell her that in a poem I call:<br />
<br />
<br />
"A Thoughtful Valentine"<br />
<br />
Of all of the thoughts in all of the world<br />
<br />
It's yours that really matter<br />
<br />
On love and life and family strife<br />
<br />
And pressure on your bladder (you're pregnant)<br />
<br />
God knows the thoughts inside my head<br />
<br />
could use some organization<br />
<br />
This is why He planned for "us"<br />
<br />
From the beginning of creation<br />
<br />
In business, friendship and politics<br />
<br />
I could always use advice<br />
<br />
For parenting and husbandry<br />
<br />
I could even use it twice<br />
<br />
Of all the thoughts in all the world<br />
<br />
Who's thoughts should I adore?<br />
<br />

Friday was Gentry's 1st day of 2nd grade at Las Nubes! The school year here goes from early February to early December. As you recall, G was not a huge fan of his first year at Las Nubes for the simple fact half the time he was lost in translation trying to catch up and learn Spanish! After we finished last year on a high note G was relatively excited (by that I just mean he only had one crying meltdown before school started). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**<b>Back story</b>: The first day of school for us, is historically, not the greatest experience. When G started kindergarten we were "that family." It was nothing short of embarrassing and seriously to this day I couldn't care less cause I was dying!! I thought I was fine until we started driving towards the school and quietly tears just started to roll down my face all the way to the school. They didn't stop there, and of course G was not excited so seeing his mom crying gave him every right in the world to bust out in a full blown meltdown. Jeff pryed him off my leg and walked him over to the line with all the other tiny kindergartners as I stood there unable to stop the tears from flowing. I seriously felt like a piece of my heart was being crushed. Jeff kept elbowing me telling me I'm making him more upset, which I know is true but I couldn't walk away until he went in. His sweet teacher Mrs. Moll came over and took him by the hand to walk him in, and he followed her but kept looking over his shoulder crying and waving...talk about heartbreaking!! Jeff took me out for coffee which I don't even like coffee but I needed something strong!! It was so hard for me to watch my little man, my buddy, my sweet boy, take his first big step of growing up. For the FIRST time since we had G I thought I wanted to do this again, because man has this been so fun and such a blessing to my life, how could we only do this once?? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First grade, first day proved to be a little better, at least for G. He knew his friends were going to be there, was semi-excited and right when we dropped him off his little eyes filled with tears and he gave me a big hug and told me to meet him right by this tree outside the door after school. He kept turning around and waving much like he did in kindergarten but the tears never spilled over, as he was bravely holding them in. I held my tears in until we got in the car and Jeff patted my back as I balled my eyes out, running through the same thought process as every mom goes through about "how he's growing up so fast, before we know it he will be leaving for college" Again it took me a bit to get myself together and Jeff sweetly let me cry it out and by the time I picked him up at "the tree" after school we were both all smiles. **</div>

Friday morning we went to wake G up for school only to find him laying in bed with tears in his eyes!!! NOOOOOOO!! We were so ready for this day, you picked out all those cool skateboarding and surf notebooks with stickers, you were excited you already knew your teacher, you know enough Spanish to survive and make this a much easier on you, new shoes, your buddy Alfonso is in your class, seriously what I am missing here??????? Jeff and I both turned into cartoon characters who's sole purpose in life was to dry those sweet tears and put a smile on his cute little face before dropping him off at his first day of school! We pulled out all the tricks we had, favorite breakfast french toast...check, two big smiles and nothing but happy thoughts and words...check, a Billy Madison you tube video of back to school...check, tap dancing across the floor to make him laugh...check. We literally pulled out every trick in the book to get rid of those tears and it worked! By the time we were ready to leave for school he was smiling and laughing at the fact Billy Madison had to go to school when he was an adult and sang really funny songs! SCORE!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was pretty smooth sailing from there on out...at least for G :) We dropped him off stood with his class for a little bit and talked to his teacher (whom we love!) and waited until they started going into leave. I held my tears in until he walked away and then we had to scoot so I could have my yearly mom meltdown. We drove home in silence and again Jeff patted my back and just let me cry. When we got home I needed a little more time to cry and go through "he's growing up so fast, before we know it he will be going to college" thought process...and then I pulled it together and couldn't wait to pick him up and hear all about 2nd grade :) Most important we all survived and G is feeling much better about 2nd grade! Can't complain and just have to give myself grace and know that watching your kids grow up takes wisdom and patience from God, some tears, and occasionally you tube clips of Billy Madison :) Here's to 2nd grade!</div>

As I mentioned in my last post we have loved all the school functions! School here is so different than in the States. I find myself often thinking "that would never happen back home!" I'm slowly but surely trying to let go of my expectations and embrace the differences. One of the biggest changes for me is they don't have an open door policy. When G was in kindergarten and 1st grade, Jeff or I helped in the classroom at least once a week, helped plan/attended parties, went to the PTO meetings, and basically every time there was an opportunity to be there if I could I would. I loved it, and G loved it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here we drive through the drop off line, let them out and literally the gates close and they are in school!! We went the other day to pick G up and literally we had to wait at the gate while they went to his classroom, they didn't even let us on school property!!! Even when they have parties, we get a note saying what to send with our kiddo and that's it!! I realize I sound like one of those crazy moms who wants to be overbearing and apart of every single little thing, but in reality I just want a little glimpse of what life is like for G in the classroom here, I don't have to come every week people, but my kids been in school and beyond the couple of all school activities where the parents get to come, and 10 minutes of dropping off cupcakes for G's birthday (which I was stopped at the gate and questioned by the gate Nazi to see if I had cleared it with the teacher! Of course I had, I knew I would be interrogated!) I haven't been there during school at all in 7 months!! I sometimes feel like how Molly looks when she really wants to come with us in the car and stands at the window with her saddest puppy dog face and droopy ears, saying through those sad eyes "please please please let me come, I just want to be with you" Yes that's about how I feel as I stand pathetically at the closed gate of Las Nubes smiling really big to let them know I'm really nice, just wishing they would let me in!!! In my mind there has got to be all this cuteness and fun things going on all day, and I'm just dying to know what his day is like at school! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All that to say when G does have a school function I am so excited beyond measure to go!! So here's a couple of pictures from the science fair!</div>

There's so many things I didn't think through before we moved here. Like, it never crossed my mind that we would be celebrating different and new holidays! (Before you go and judge me, it's not like I don't realize that there are different holidays in different countries and cultures, it's just that wasn't on the forefront of my mind as we got ready to move to a different country!) :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently on a walk I asked some girlfriends, "Hey so when do the kids get out for Thanksgiving?" (Again I realize I'm not in the US, it's just a habit! For 29 years now, I have celebrated Thanksgiving, so give me just a little bit of grace here) To which my dear friends replied smiling "We don't have Thanksgiving here" Oh yes that's right, I'm in a different country!!!!! </div>

One of the fun things having Gentry in school here, is we are learning all about this great country of Costa Rica and getting to celebrate all new holidays along with the ones we celebrate. July 25th is the celebration of the Annexation of Guanacaste. Here's a quick run down in case you need to brush up on your Costa Rican history :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Guanacaste is a providence in Costa Rica. It was originally apart of Nicaragua. Nicaragua was active in many civil wars at the time and so the inhabitants of Guanacaste requested to become a part of Costa Rica and were granted this request by the Central America Federation on July 25th 1824. The "Guanacostecos" take great pride in being Costa Ricans. The celebration includes traditions like parades, folk dances, typical music, and bull fights! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We didn't get to see any bull fights, but the kids had that Thursday off of school and then on Friday had a school performance. Every grade performed a dance and wore "traditional" Costa Rican dress. It was nothing short of adorable, and it was fun to be apart of the culture here in Costa Rica. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was slighty frustrated when I went through the 50+ pictures we had from the performance to not find one single shot of G dancing!!!! Are you kidding me?? (Mind you I was obviously not behind the camera or you know I would have some shots!) With that said, he might have been the biggest party pooper of all that day anyways. He was so embarrassed, he dare not smile once during the entire dance!! Good thing I'm a semi-laid back mom cause this kid certainly does not perform on my command!!! For the week before, I talked to him about just smiling, and at least doing the dance that the other kids were doing, his response was unwaivering everytime we spoke of it..."Mom, I am just not a performer like those other kids, that's not me, and you said it was okay to be different" Well he certainly proved my point as he drug his feet along while other kids skipped, put his head down as others looked up happy to be in the lime light, and refused to even smile once as I stood as close by to see his sweet face. Oh well, he might not be a performer for the masses, but in the privacy of our own home you should see the MJ moves he bust out when no ones looking, and the notes he hits in the shower when he thinks no ones listening!! To each his own, to each his own :)</div>

I'm pretty sure when it comes to college experiences, Jeff and I had the best of both worlds. We started our college careers at New Mexico State University. It's where we met, but also where we met and made life long friends during our time involved with Campus Crusade for Christ. It was such a sweet time in our lives. We look back on those days and can make ourselves laugh till we cry with story after story of great times we had with our college friends. Thankfully not only did we have those friends then, we still have them now! </div>

I'm actually amazed at how many of us still stay in contact and occasionally get together when we can. When we were home this summer, a group of us was in town and we had a little get together! It was so fun seeing everyone, seeing/meeting kiddos, and catching up on life and where it has taken us all. Jeff and I will always be greatful for such a wonderful college experience with friends that to this day we stay in touch and love getting together when life permits. </div>

While we were home we spent a little time with a very Spesh-ial group of people :) When we lived in Colorado, Sundays we tried to make it to Donny's famous spesh's. Beyond the delicious food, there are people we love who are like family, a bunch of crazy boys for G to play with, good laughs, Sonic runs, and a place that feels like home. It was so fun to be with them even if just for a little bit while we were back. </div>

What a blessing to spend time with friends that are family. We miss our Spesh-ial group of friends so much and wish we could see them more often. Until next visit friends, we miss you!!!</div>

So I am ridiculously behind in my blogging ventures. I'm still catching up from our trip to the States which we have been home for over a month! To my defense, uploading pictures to facebook or my blog is daunting unless it's only 1 picture at a time. Our internet works but that's about it, uploading or streaming takes forever, so to upload blog pictures takes much effort and time...both I have been lacking lately :) So even though these next couple of post are late, I definitely need to document these sweet times and people in our lives!</div>

We met this group of friends through church when we first moved to Colorado and have been friends ever since. The more kids we all have, the less we see each other, but it's always so fun to get together when we do! We miss them all so much and were so thankful to get to see everyone when we were home even for just an afternoon!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Towards the end of our pool time Mr. Bodes decided to take a jump in the pool with his hooded towel. Of course his momma jumped in to get him right away. When she brought him up out of the water his towel was over his face and it made me so nervous I ended up jumping in the pool after her. This all happened in the span of about 3 seconds, so I'm not exactly sure that Kenz needed me, but it was one of those spolit second mom urges and I just reacted. I'm pretty sure I must have looked like a Saturday Night Live skit character frantically jumping in the water and flailing around, acting as if I'm helping when in reality I was just over reacting, but regardless it satisfied the mom panic urge in me. Kenz and everyone there were really gracious and acted as if I actually helped, but I'm well aware that it was probably really funny to watch me sprint by the pool and jump in with clothes on attempting to save a little one that was already being saved :) Thanks for being good friends, and not laughing to my face guys :)</div>

Today marks 10 years that Jeff and I have been married! It's crazy that 10 years has passed since I stood as a teenager and said "I do" to Jeffrey. I feel like it's one of those things that should make me feel old but in reality I just feel so blessed and thankful that we get to celebrate such a sweet day together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much has happened in our 10 years. Our young love has withstood through 2 deployments, a surprise baby, 2 undergrad degrees, 1 graduate degree, numerous less than ideal jobs, couple of start up businesses, both finding our passion and dream jobs, 4 houses, 2 states, 2 countries, 2 miscarriages, the hoping and discouragement of waiting for another baby, the laughter in times of happiness, and the flowing tears in the midst of pain. We have both made huge mistakes while hurting the other deeply, and both loved beyond our capacity at times for the good of the other. All the elements of a great love story are weaved into the last 10 years of life together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we were in NM we took a night and drove up to Ruidoso which is the town we got married in. It's not a place we go to often especially since we moved to Colorado and then Costa Rica, so when we do get to go it's a special treat to stop by the magical little hacienda that we got married at. Being the ever hopeless romantic that I am, we had to stop for a quick photo op and reminisce about the day our love story all started. It was sweet to be there especially knowing how close our 10 year anniversary was. </div>

One of the highlights of being back in Colorado was seeing all of our friends!! Especially for Mr. G Man. He has been missing everyone like crazy so to see all of his buddies was so special! It seemed like they all picked up where they left off and had a grand time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First stop when we got into Colorado was to Wy-Wy, also known as Wyatt. Luckily we caught them the night before they were leaving town, good thing cause the trip would not have been the same without seeing Wy-Wy! G often tells us "school would all be okay if only Wyatt was here" so good thing we got to see them even if it was only for bit!</div>

We also got to hang with our best buds the Pressnalls! G has missed Asher so much and had a great time, although we certainly didn't get enough time with them while we were home. G is certain that Asher needs to move to Costa Rica. I also think it would be awesome, since my whole adult life I have wanted to live near my dear friend Nikki and about 8 months after they moved to the Denver area with for Adam's work we moved to Costa Rica. It really was one of the harder things of leaving, I finally have my best bud so close and then we leave :( Sad, but thankfully no matter where either of us live we will always be close and dream about the day we are next door neighbors drinking a cup of joe (although I don't actually like coffee so I will drink hot tea or some orange juice!) and watching Good Morning America together :)<br />

My sweet madre drove us up to Colorado and we got to have a couple of fun days with her and Nate before they headed back to NM. One of the days we went to Jump Street. If you live the greater Denver area and haven't been, you are missing out and need to schedule either your kids, or your next birthday party there. It is seriously the funnest place on earth! Time and time again, Jeff and I are the only adults that are jumping with all the kids, but seriously neither one of us care, cause it is so fun!! I would be lying if I said we went for the kids, Jeff and I absolutely LOVE trampolines and seriously this outing was secretly about us having a really fun day all while bouncing crazily on trampolines...of course it was even more fun because we got to go with the boys, but make no mistake this was one of those selfish parent outings :)</div>

There's probably more reasons it was fun but that just about covers the main points :) Growing up in a small town it was definitely hard to appreciate everyone knowing everything, the expectations and pressure, the fact there really wasn't much to do, and just all the typical complaints about a small town. While some of those complaints might have a leg to stand on, there is also a long list of great things about a small town, specifically my small town of Artesia NM. While it's true everyone might know everything about everyone, what's also true is you will never see another community rally around it's residents like this small town does. It's quite impressive to see how the local businesses pour resources into the schools, how people get behind causes and people, and to see how the community steps in when help is needed. It's also quite impressive the amount of community pride there is! From sports events (specifically football!), to holidays Artesia certainly knows how to rally for the event! It was really fun to be in Artesia for the 4th of July because this year was the last year the Dean's Pyro Team is putting on their famous fireworks show! Sad, but fun that we were there. If you have never seen it before it's seriously one of the best shows you will ever see.</div>

We also got to spend time with family which was the most important part of our trip and see many friends, although no matter how hard we tried there just wasn't enough time to see everyone. I feel like it's always like that when we go home. Overall we had a good trip home, and before we knew it we were heading to Colorado for our last leg of the trip! </div>

The 3rd and final day we were in California we went to Legoland. Jeff's family had already headed home so it was just G, Jeff, and I. Poor Jeff got really sick about half way through day#2 at Disney and still felt horrible at Legoland. He didn't do anything but take pictures of G and I and sit on benches as we rode rides and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Poor guy :( Other than Jeff being really sick we had a great day and enjoyed the crazy awesomeness of Legoland!</div>

The first day of Disney was a success, so onto day 2! Our day didn't start quite as early since we didn't have the character breakfast which was nice. When we went to wake G up I said </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Hey do you know what day it is?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
G groggily with his eyes still closed "No what?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: "It's Disneyland day"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
G opened his eyes all excited and said: "Oh yay!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He then closed his eyes and went right back to sleep and even started snoring! :) It was really cute and very telling of how exhausted our little man was. He finally got up and by the time we made it to the park he was bright eyed and ready to go for day #2!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stop on our time in the US was a stop in California to meet up with Jeff's family and do Disney! This was Gentry David's first trip to Disney so we were all super excited. The week before we left was one of the busier weeks we have had in a while between Jeff's project's, G's test, and me trying to get everything done so we could be gone for a full 3 weeks we were already spent by the time our sweet friends drove us to San Jose Thursday night so we could fly out Friday morning. I wish I could blame the lack of sleep the week before for booking our hotel room in San Jose for the wrong day so when we checked in at 9pm there was a bit of an ordeal and we ended up getting charged twice since I booked through expedia, but that arrangement was made weeks so I just have to own that one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regardless of the being charged twice and late check in, we finally made it to sleep around 11. The 4am shuttle pick up came all to quickly but nonetheless we were off to the airport and on our way to the States. </div>

We were hoping that G wasn't too old to enjoy the magic of Disneyland, and thankfully he wasn't :) He seemed a little hesitant at first, but I think the fairy God Mother might have bibity bobity boo'ed him and his little blue eyes just sparkled as he enjoyed every minute of our trip. He loved all the character's at the character breakfast, but then when he heard Capitan Hook was coming, he literally ran and hid from him!! It was so hilarious! He watched "Capin Hook" (as he used to say) from behind a table and then literally hid under a table! I think he was so excited he didn't know what to do with himself. Thankfully Captain Hook found him and we got a picture even though G had is "very embarrassed, I'm not sure what to do with myself grin" on :)</div>

The things I love most about my sweet Gentry David are the things I find most hard to parent. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just about the time I think I have a piece of this whole parenting puzzle figured out, I realize the puzzle piece itself is a completely different shape than I originally thought. On the other hand about the time I feel like flipping the card table upside down and throwing my hands up in the air; the caring, compassionate, funny boy melts my heart with giggle filled conversation about body sounds/parts or a very serious conversation regarding why bad guys make bad choices and just don't want to be good guys, reminding me of every single reason I absolutely adore and love this little curly headed hilarious fun loving boy sitting on the couch next to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that <b>he is a boy</b> <b>who know what he likes and isn't afraid to own it!</b> The kid makes his mind up and doesn't care what anyone thinks, which is awesome! I never want him to fall into the trap of living life through the lens of what everyone else tells you to be. You go boy!! As much as I love it, it is the very thing that absolutely drives me bizurk! Have you seen my kids hair!! Youzers I'm not gonna lie it's killing me!! He is dead set on having "long surf hair" and refuses with a capital R to cut his crazy hair. For the most part I don't mind his long cute curls, but we have passed the point of tolerating for me, especially cause he won't let me style it, which means he flattens out the front making it cover his eyes and then likes to fluff the back so it has "just a couple of curls", or it is just as wild (when I say wild I mean wild like "Where the Wild Things Are", yes that wild and maybe even 10% more wild than that) as the spirit inside his little body...either way it's driving me crazy!! Dear Lord please help me to always encourage him to have the confidence to be who you created him to be, and give me the strength to productively tame this wild child :)<br />

He is <b>all boy!</b> I love the rambunctious energy, the sheer love for life, and the brave little soul that runs in out of our house everyday whistling or singing. On the other hand the arm pit farts, hours of loudness that radiate our house, the constant stories of bodily fluids and functions, the wrestling matches on our tile floor, and the climbing, jumping, and scaling of everything in site can literally put me over the edge sometimes!! I often hear people say "oh that's just boys"...sometimes I just want to tell those people "ya and I'm just a mom!" I know it's true boys will be boys, but man are there times I could just use a day without hearing a 30 min string of arm pit farts! Does anyone else feel my pain? God please help me to never crush his spirit, while also being able to guide him to be a Godly APPROPRIATE man :)<br />
*As I sit here and type he is now making arm pit farts with his legs...if my computer is found in tiny pieces on the floor you will know what made me throw it*<br />

He's just the average <b>middle of the pack</b> kiddo. G is one of those kids that seems to do well at most things, while isn't usually the best, he keeps up with the pack. I love that he feels comfortable to try most things and things seem to come relatively easy to him. We feel blessed that he hasn't struggled in most things he has tried...that is until this whole school in Costa Rica and learning Spanish thing. It has been the first time he is runt of the pack! We have watched our easy going kiddo completely shut down and STRUGGLE through school. It's been hard to watch and even harder to parent. We knew he was having a hard time, but we didn't realize how much this little turkey was acting out at school until we had a parent teacher conference! All of our hopes and dreams of having the perfect kiddo were literally shattered in those few short minutes of hearing stories of what a stinker G was at school!!! (I'm pretty sure on this road of parenting that dream will be shattered many times) Thankfully we talked and cooled down before we had our come to meet Jesus moment with G, cause the punishment reel was just scrolling over and over in my head...the kid was in big trouble! The good thing that came out of it, was we didn't realize how hard it has been on him, and since then we have been able to help him talk through what he's feeling and deal with those feelings appropriately instead of refusing to take his head off his desk during spanish, or telling his teacher he wasn't going to write his letters again because "that's just more work and stupid" and then literally refuse to talk when spoken to! (What in the Sam Nation are you thinking boy, who in the spank are your parents, didn't they teach you better!)</div>

God please give me wisdom and grace to help guide G through difficult times in life.<br />

Whew, life has definitely been an adjustment here in Costa Rica but we truly love living here. A 3 week break to see family in the States could not come at a more perfect time. We are ending the trimester on a good behavior award and at this point that's all we can ask for! </div>
