i'll be leaving to new york city on wednesday... in less than 2 days!!! that's right! my friend bought me a plane ticket for my birthday and hers!! SUCH a treat!!!!! i've been wanting to go for ages and i'm grateful that she's created a way for such an adventure... and thanks to my mom, i have a new camera so you all can see pictures!!!! i'm all too excited!
now, ramel will be home alone with the kids for 5 days... but all kid clothes will be picked out for him... 2 outfits per day, per kid... and isabella's hair will be in enough braids for him not to worry about brushing through the nest of curls... he has free tickets to museums and the zoo [thanks to the summer reading club at the library] on top of that, isabella is potty trained so very few diapers to worry about!! yes, this girl is quite advanced in this area...
so this is quite brief because as i type, i must get the house adn my bags ready for this wonderful adventure!!!
so to sum it up:
1. i'm going to new york city
2. diego can climb walls
3. isabella is potty trained
4. i got my nose pierced
5. still have 25 illustrations to complete
6. my mom gave me a camera
have a wonderful week!!! i sure will :)
I can't wait to see you!! If your up for our company on Wednesday, let me know where to meet you. I work in the city and get out at 6pm. Besos!

Exciting! I can't wait to hear about your adventures in my hometown. I haven't been back in 7 years. If you get a chance, go to Spanish Harlem--El Barrio. There are a ton of small shops and food. I lived on the 115th block, but 116th block is where its at. Safe travels.
