Tengo gozo en mi alma hoy

This week I am going to really cut back on the words and let loose with the pictures.

Bests:

1. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl! We had a fun time getting ready and excited for it, even WATCHING it (holy cow, right? I know.), and then decidedly not participating in the celebration afterwards.

2. Thursday into Friday. Addie and Emma spent the night, I went to book club at Shana's house, and even sneaked in an endowment session the next morning.

3. Traveling. We are in Mexico right now! We are holed up in a beautiful small hacienda in the historic central district of Merida, in the Yucatan. We have been having wonderful adventures, and the best part is that we have Willa Jane with us and have more to come.

I sat by Charlotte on Sunday. We were both supporting the Chiefs through wardrobe selection.

Eve on our Sunday walk. On February 12.

Fenty watching us watch the game.

Right before our neighbors started setting off fireworks.

Griffin's awesome homemade Valentines. I did the washi tape.

Eve's awesome homemade Valentine's cards. I printed them and cut them.

On the Chief's celebration day off, Eve made a large single pasta dumpling. It wasn't good.

UV is so happy to sneak a nap on the master bed.

Vegan charcuterie from Cafe Gratitude from our date. It was SO good!

DFW fun. Or not so fun...

Hey Wyatt! Look! It's a tribute to you.

Our first bigger adventure: trying and failing to find the church

Oh there it is!

Some people find it hard to pay attention in español. I loved the parts I got. I liked thinking of the Holy Ghost as eternal Wifi, and the parts that encouraged us to act upon our faith. That is what it's for.

Church was next door to the temple!

And this is what you do after church.

In English, this is There is Sunshine In My Soul. My favorite part is how my screen can only fit two measures on at a time. 

 

Worsts:

1. Kids who aren't sure they want these wonderful adventures. Usually when they are hungry.

2. Coughing and congestion.

3. We changed phone carriers about a month ago. It turns out they have zero coverage here. We are desperate for places with WiFi! Home and the church have been best. Nice illustration of the concept we learned about in church.

It is fine. All is well or will be well. There is sunshine in my soul today.
