I let her have orange juice with her breakfast.  Ever since I taught Meadow how to use a piggy bank we give her all our coins so she can add them in. This may be another reason why she gets colds.

We've also started a love affair with Oaxaca cheese and decided it was a good idea to get some of the best tortillas in town, La Perla . We used some of the tortillas right away to accompany our leftover tacos el pastor. Since we didn't get to go apple picking with Emma when w...
