I found this photo of Carlos I took last summer (man, has he changed in a few months!). Can you see his milk mustache? ;)
Apparently Ashley has decided to start saving up for this. Very lofty dreams for a thirteen-year-old, but I say the more power to her if she's able to do it! I'm not a Mac person myself (Hi to all you Mac users--apparently Ashley will be joining you soon!), but I'll be very happy for her if she gets it. She'll be saving for a L-O-N-G time, though, lol!
We went to The Grove last Saturday to spend some time out and about. We went to the Barnes and Noble and enjoyed looking at books. I love this photo of Carlos. It's so typical of him (and me, lol!) when he is at a bookstore. I totally LOVE (and am extremely grateful for) the fact that both my kids enjoy books tremendously. I myself could spend literally hours in a bookstore (sans kids, that is!), so I enjoy that they share my passion for books.
On a little side note, growing up, books were my entire world. When I was in the middle of a good book and I just HAD to find out what happened, I would sneak a flashlight into bed, put it under the covers, and read away ... until I would get caught (oops). Then the book would be snatched away as a consequence (that was the equivalent of ripping my heart out, lol!). But not even that could deter me. There were times I would sneak into the bathroom in the middle of the night, close the door, turn on the light, and read until I actually couldn't keep my eyes open. Of course, I hope their passion for reading doesn't extend that far!

Ashley and I went to the American Girl Store to have a few minutes of girl time together while the boys did their thing. When I look at pictures like this, she still seems like my little girl :)
LOVE this picture of her enjoying her ice cream at the Farmer's Market there.
