Hint: It's not by her accent.... Carrie and her aunt share similar stories about how they were both recognized as Cubans, but not by their accents.... Go watch these hilarious videos right now. (My blond-haired, blue-eyed Amy Kikita gets this all the time. =D) ...

It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life
My BFF, Pam and her husband, Pastor Gene (Mr. Train Report himself) are celebrating their 33rd wedding anniversary today. 33! That's like 145 in Dog Years!! (I have had the privilege of knowing them for about 34 years, but that's not important right now.) Congratulations, my friends. I think you definitely qualify for a Gold Medal ...
Hi Adam! I Love You!
Kikita here. Today is a very special day. It is the 23rd anniversary of the day I became a big sister.(Of course, that means I had someone else I could dress - and make them dress like me.) Yes, this is the day all hopes of being an only child were stolen from me and the word "SHARE" entered my life.I was the one who wanted a cat. It ...

WARNING: Cuteness overload!
I love when the four of them are all together. I especially love when they are just interacting and I have a camera trained on them. I swear it's pure comedy. (Ask me if I care if the pictures are blurry and out of focus.) I love when they speak that special sibling language that's foreign to the rest of the outside world (including me ...

Although he was opposed to the War of 1812, he had a deep love for his country and served in the Georgetown Field Artillery in 1813. He ...
Intensive Train-ing. ;-)
I'm a collector. I have that bone in my brain that says that if a thing is good, more of it would be better! And of course, you know I'm all about documenting my life and my kids and my family and my friends. I'm the one who agonizes over which photos to frame and put in albums and which to store. I have drawers full of video tapes ...
“Great taste!” “Less filling!”
Cooking and blogging over at Babalú today. You are sooo going to want to get involved with this recipe for Beer Can Chicken! It was a comedy of errors that finally turned out to be a good thing. Here's what I made: If you like, we can play the write-a-caption-for-this-photo game... =D ...
SmART Cuban
I have times when I feel inadequate to homeschool my kids. Not that I can't do stuff, I totally know I can. It's just that I've never been much of an academic.I'm more of the right brain, emotionally driven, wow-what-a-great-color artistic type. And I can do a lot of stuff, except maybe algebra and seriously, name five people ...
