18 month Coral

Coral is now 18 months, We are planning to be back in Costa Rica before Halloween. We are still waiting for documents for residency but they should all arrive by the end of the week. We will be starting a new chapter tittled "Construction in Costa Rica". We are building a screen room, dance floor, ect

.

We have enjoyed being with our family and friends this year in California. We will be up for goodbye celebrations this month including visit to Temecula on Oct. 16th and I am planning a spaghetti factory dinner in Newport the sunday before Halloween for those of you who are close enough to attend. Thanks for your support everyone. We would love to hear how you are doing. The Smiley's look forward to your update as well.

Peace, Aloha, Namaste, Pura Vida

Summer in Newport Beach

Coral's hair is getting longer. She is now 15 months. Time to tie it up and get it out of her eyes. I think she looks soo cute in her pigtails and pebbles.

Coral's first trip to Disneyland

merry-go-round

Princess Coral

The Smileys had a blast at Disneyland with Gramma and Grampa Hicks. Our favorates were It's a small world and Dumbo. Coral was a very good girl!

The Hicks Visit

The Hicks flew in from Pennsilvania to visit The Smileys. It has been great all week! Four generations spending a beautiful Sunday together. Great fun!!

Doheney Blues Festival

She is of course pointing to the dog in his beautiful tattoo.

The festival was so much fun. My favorate was Crosby, Stills and Nash. Coral did amazing. Took her naps in all the madness. What a trooper. We love music! This was her first show.

Newport Beach Urban Jungle

Our Newport Beach urban garden is on it's way with my dad's help this summer. There are tomatoes growing everywhere. We plan on making our homemade organic tomato sauce with our homegrown tomatoes. Yum! Coral also enjoys participating in the family garden. We are enjoying our stay in Cali this summer. I can't imagine how much our fruit trees have grown in Costa Rica. We will be back home starting Oct. or Nov.

pura vida
