This past week we were very happy to have Andy's good friend Fernando, his wife Cyndi and their 18 month old daughter Paulina as our guests in Seattle! Ten years ago, Fernando came to the US without speaking a work of English. He wound up staying and enrolling in the community college in Walla Walla, then WSU to get his degree in Engineering. In the mean time, he became fluent in English and scored Andy as his doubles partner on the WWCC tennis team. They have been friends ever since! In 2005 Andy & I travelled to Mexico City (their home) to see Fernando & Cyndi get married and in 2007 they came to WW to see us get married...This time, it was so fun to get our daughters together. They could not have been more opposite, but they loved each other! Paulina was so much fun to have around, she talks up a storm and listens to everything her mommy & daddy tell her to do - we're hoping some of this will rub off on our busy little lady. They had a blast playing together and we loved having their family with us. Over Easter weekend we mini-vanned (in a borrowed rig) up to La Conner to see the annual tulip festival, which despite being cold and windy turned out to be very beautiful and lots of fun. Thank you to the Salinas-Rivas-Cervantes-Hernandez family for being such gracious guests and bringing Hadley a little playmate for the week - we miss you already!
