A bilingual blog for a binational family.
I cannot believe this wedding is finally (almost) here! Nikita and I were roommates sophomore through senior year of college. She and Jordan started dating a few months before Javi and I did, and she knew from the start that she wanted to marry him! They got engaged last summer and now the wedding is […]
My grandma wrote this guest post – a wonderful, detailed account for the whole family of Javier’s citizenship ceremony. We couldn’t attend because we were in Florida for my cousin’s wedding, but grandma accompanied Javier and we were so grateful she could be there with him! Thanks gma! Mi abuela escribio este post – una […]
A couple of weekends ago the NYC hip hop artist, stellar educator and good friend Ian Willey (I.C. Will) came back to town to my dad’s studio to do some recording for his new album. He’s hoping to release the album by this August and it’s by far my favorite yet! He came up with […]
Well, Hickory Slims has officially lost its second first show virginity! This was our first show as Hickory Slims but, as I’ve said previously about this group, we used to play together under the name Angus Whyte and the Irish Rednecks. We actually played at the Family Wash a couple times as AW&IR – below […]
This past weekend it “snowed”! The 1/4 inch we got here in our neighborhood was pretty exciting because we didn’t see so much as a flake last year. It was also particularly exciting in this household because it was Choripan’s first encounter with snow, which obligated a photo or two. I took my camera out early in […]
One of Leslie’s biggest fears is Chupete or Choripan running away. Going out of town means losing control over the dogs for a few days, and the only way to do that and have some peace of mind is to find a great place to board them while we’re away. Luckily for us, we found […]
Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork, TN is one of Leslie’s favorite places to play gigs. The people who run Puckett’s out there are so great and they have always been so easy to work with when it comes to booking, running sound, creating a great environment for a gig, etc.. Leiper’s Fork is such a beautiful […]
It’s here! It’s here! One year after Javier drew the last epic show flier for the last Christmas show at Puckett’s, here’s the new one for this year’s Christmas Show (also at Puckett’s)! It’s great being married to such a goofy, talented guy. So yes, consider this the official announcement for my next show with […]
It’s taken me a few extra weeks to get into the “Christmas spirit” (last year I had my decorations up by the second week of November!) but if I was still not into it by the beginning of this weekend, I’m definitely feeling it now! We had two holiday gatherings this weekend and - my all time […]
Sometimes, it’s best to just find things to celebrate to a) not feel guilty about having some fun (you’re celebrating something! It must be legitimate!) and b) to force yourself to enjoy a day, or even a few hours, off. Over the last few days, we’ve found some things to celebrate. Javier had a long […]
