Where did that come from?

This where the name of this blog came from...

Watch the clip above if you want to know how we came up with the name for this blog.  It's one of our family's favorite movies and we quote that line all the time.  "South America...It's like America....but South!"

Happy Thanksgiving to our North American friends and family!  We are very grateful for coming from such wonderful, loving, generous parents who know how to live well and love well.  Kiko and I feel like our lives have been especially marked with extraordinary friendships throughout the world, for which we are also grateful.

We plan to have our turkey dinner with the Holloways, an awesome family we have loved for years, near Aspen.  Christina was Tristan's teacher from 11 months old until he was almost 3 and her little boy, Luke, is one of his best friends still!  I am bringing roasted vegetables, gooey pumpkin butter cake, and cream puffs drizzled in chocolate.

Tonight will be a cleaning and laundry extravaganza in our house!  For this of you who have seen the horror that is my office - I might post a picture of its organized beauty for you.  It makes me want to work in it!!!

I have to run - I have had a headache for four days so Kiko is going to play chiropractor on me and see if he can help my neck.  Pray for me, friends!  God heals and I need that healing to manifest now!
