The Trials and travels of the Cachilupis

Long time ago in a far away Kingdom, there lived the Ketchesons. They had just finished a semester of hard but joyous work. To celebrate they were to travel to an ancient city were some of their ancestors lived.
Long they prepared for their journey, they gather fruits, nuts and chocolate. They rolled their garments in sturdy bags and left their palace in the hands of sweet Jlym (names have been changed)

The night before their departure the sweet little princesses giggle with excitement as they were told to sleep. The king and queen were resting their heads when after the twelfth bell ran a message woke them up.
The fluffy white powdery cold substance that many love had created a catastrophe. There in London, the house of the magical inventions that transport royalty from one place to another was closed. It was enchanted by the powdery substance. No one could get to it or out of it.

Their hearts broken and their heads tired, there wasn't much for them to do. Even then the King let the Queen rest some more while he took his magic rectangle in search for ways to a reach their destination.

The sun came out and the little princesses were bouncing with excitement but once they found about the tragedy in London their smiles vanished and their bouncing became a mere drag.

The rest of the morning was spent trying to find anything that would take them where their hearts desire to be, at last their hopes were lost.....but the King became the hero of the story and was triumphant at finding a way for the family to depart and enjoy their vacation.

Now they wait in the ancient city of Cairo, mingling with the Pyramids and the souks.

Soon they will find their relatives....but not until Christmas day...


.......but they are living happily ever after!

Wishing you a Merry Merry one :-) / Este se me olvido traducir, pero vean las fotos he imaginense que dicen, ok :-)

I have been forced to add a new post. I guess some of you were very concerned about David's "email"  and he is finally feeling guilt for his good looks.

I am rather beyond busy BUT have taken a few pictures that I haven't post, so here for you all a few pictures of the decorations in our home, super requested photo of the shinny floors (used to be) and some Christmas ones, in no particular order.
Have a Wonderful Christmas, we love you all (unless we dont' know you,then I wonder how you put up with so much craziness that I write) and wish you the best. Keep coming, my mom will return to my aid and I will hopefully finish catching up on my posts.
:-)
Belkycita, Davicito, Elenita & Victorita
Our cool Arabic clock in our dinning room.

Our stockings, sharing a spot with the plant I care less for but survives better than any of the other ones!!
and do you see the flower bouquet? A dear friend brought it over after the baby shower some friends and I threw for her. Yes, I did put it out of the plastic wrap and all that mess if from the baby shower.
Our lonesome Santa, we keep him away from all the other decorations because I'm afraid the snowman's will take his chocolates away. BACK OFF FROSTY!!! those are OUR chocolates!!!!
TA DA!!!!! we have a piano again!!, it's an electric one though, it just came in a fancy case, but the keys are heavy like a real one.
Pictures of the girls from about 100 years ago. Their smiles are the same, and the happiness the bring into our life has increase more than 100 times.
Our Christmas tree with the shinny floors.  I do not take credit for this, some wonderful guys do it for me and I am planning on ways to adopt them once we go back to the US, although, there isn't anything for them to polish there, David is set on going back to carpets.

These don't need captions!


At a "Holiday" party. The girls made glittery cards and ornaments. I had a shinny face for about a week!
Elena, cannot stop herself from learning. Look at that concentrated face!!!
Victoria on the other hand cannot stop herself from eating cookies! All the kids were playing, running, but her...alone at the cookie table....
It's really hard to make snow balls out of fake snow!
Oh and these!!!! can see you see? can you smell them? They smelled divine and made the whole living room smell divine! ( I can't say the whole house, we would need about 30 of these for that to happen).
MY David brought them home one day just because he could tell I needed a little cheering. and they did the trick :-)

Should I worry about this?

This is an email Mr. Good looking received two days ago.

"Ok this is as bad as it gets I am sitting here with my email open waiting  desperately for you to reply.

And my phone on the other side hoping that if you don’t email me that you will text or call me.

I am debating as whether to even send this to you or not because I don’t want to seem as desperate as I am to hear your voice or even talk to you about anything it does not matter what. 
When what I really want to do is to hold you tight even though you said I smell funny, while I caress your face, tell you how special you are to me, how much I love you, and how in love I am with you!!!!!

So here is what I think of when I think of you. Your eyes are beautiful,
your lips are soft and sweet to kiss, your smell is of angels, skin as
smooth as silk, your smile and laugh brightens up the morning sky."


Something tells me the boy might be living a double life. His friend told me that maybe those "conferences" he travels to might not be conferences....
... I really thought marrying a nerdy guy would prevent this kind of situations... I guess the good looks can't be ignored  :-)


****Yes, the email is real, but it was not intended for David, it was emailed to him accidentally. The last names are some what similar. I'm pretty sure he's never said to a girl that she smells funny.*****
