Hola from Mazatlan. As I write, I assure you I've tried many times to write an update. I realize a lot of you aren't on Facebook, so you will not be able to see our updates.

This is a guess but I'm thinking that a lot of you wonder what a typical day looks like for us? Each day is different with fabulous places, feelings that come our way, and some moments more frustrating. Our days have generally looked a little like this... 5:30 am Emily wakes up... Such an early riser! 7:00 am Ben wakes up! See the … [Read more...] about Life as we know it: A bit of what we are doing here in Mazatlan.
