A tale of three tree huggers

Recently, there has been some discussion on this blog about tree huggers. Three good examples are shown at left. The one in the middle will grow wise learning from his mother the importance of good earth stewardship in order to save humanity from disease, starvation and death. The one on the left, after cutting down a decades-old tree because it dropped a few leaves in his pool (in other words, a one-man effort to ruin hundreds of gallons of fresh drinking water so he can splash around once a month), has REPLANTED a tree in the same spot due to too much sun. Hmmm...this kind of vision and forethought is astounding. We need a guy like this in the White House...but, alas, we already have one. And finally, the handsome one on the right hugs trees because he thinks that will get him more "action" in the bedroom. Now, THAT's how we Herrera's roll.

Movie night

Last night we went to the movies for the first time in seven months. Ghost Rider was entertaining, but not the best acting ever seen. Nicolas Cage has had a face lift...but, I've got to hand it to him in the physically fit department. He has abs of steel. Max was up several times last night for no apparent reason, though he is working on pushing out two teeth, so that may have been the issue. My mom started driving again this morning, which is a huge relief to her and us. She seems to have turned a corner with the Vestibular Neuritis (sp?), not because it is necessarily improving but more because she is just sick of it and has decided to get up and get moving. The Herreras are going to do something outside today, as it is warm and pleasant. Max is now eating carrots, pears, applesauce and sweet potatoes...but won't let peas, rice cereal or oat cereal past his lips. Adrian is calling me to lunch (he made burgers), so I'll sign off for today.

Our premier

Taking a cue from Aunt Stephers and the Woodhouse Circus, we're starting our own family blog to keep our wide-spread family up-to-speed on our goings-on. From Chile, Ohio, Florida, China, Pueblo, Fort Collins and anywhere else, you can check in on us through our blog. I'll try to update a few times a week. Not that our day-to-day is dripping with excitement and intrigue...but, hey, maybe our sharing will encourge you to share as well. We want to hear from you!

The report for today: The snow has finally melted enough that Max and I can go on a walk with the stroller in our neighborhood. The sun is shining, temperature is warm, and we're looking forward to some fresh air. Like breaking through the arctic ice, I finally shoveled the sidewalk. LOL! Our neighbors have been hating us. Oh well...I'm too busy to care.
