Today, the Ferguson Farmer's Market had its pie contest. Yoli really likes these dessert contests.

Here are a few photos from the first week of Yoli's parents trip to the United States.
We start off by taking them to the Delmar Loop for lunch at Fitz's, followed by a look around Plowsharing Crafts, where Yoli once worked years ago.

It was Tuesday night and Yoli and I were a bit exhausted.
We had been running around for days, making preparations for the arrival of her parents from Bolivia. Perhaps the biggest of these was the purchase of a minivan, which required a test-drive, offers, counter-offers, and a used car inspection.

Yoli's parents should be here late tonight.
This morning, I got the title to our "new" minivan: a 2000 Mercury Villager in really good shape. For those who care about such things, it is a dark green color. It should be of great service to us while our family temporarily grows to 7 people.
I still need to take care of inspections, etc. Hopefully it will be drive-ready Wednesday or Thursday.
As far as the house goes, we have made a lot of progress, but much remains to be done. I guess I better stop typing and get back to cleaning while the girls are still asleep!
We've spent the last week slowly making progress toward getting ready for the arrival of Yoli's parents.
A few things we've accomplished:
- clean sun room
- make curtain rods and hang curtains in sun room
- make tentative deal for a minivan
Of course we've been doing other stuff, too. Today we hit the farmer's market and bought some peaches (and soy candles). Later I took Jadzia to the library for a presentation by the Butterfly House about ladybugs, which was very good.
Yoli also wrote up a 4-page step-by-step guide for her parents on how to traverse the airports and airplanes from Santa Cruz to Miami to St. Louis. We hope they make it with no problems. Thankfully speaking Spanish is not an obstacle in Miami, and in St. Louis all they have to do is follow the crowd to the baggage carousel.
Tuesday night will be here before we know it. Now all we have to do is clean the rest of the house.
