Hi Maryann! I'd name the little guy (?) Diego....but then, I'm raising an 8 year old and live in a pretty goofy world at times! Whatever....the trio brings great joy every time I see the little rascals. Oh, to be so well traveled as they are! It's inspired me to buy a camera! I've given one to my kids and they take pictures for me, but I've lost 2 in the last several years and had given up on trying to hold on to one! See the great pictures of Christine, Joe, Steph, the little ones, and you have inspired me to "try again" to keep up with one!
Maryann, take care and have the best available weekend! I love your stories and adventures. Wish you would write some fiction of your "upsidedown" life! Much love, ma
