To Combat the Rain

It has been a rainy, rainy summer. In both Georgia and Connecticut, Mother Nature has been trying to make up for the lack of rain we saw in Lima. Luckily, we've had a smattering of sunny days or parts of days to drag Maximo around our old stomping grounds.

Between rainstorms, it's been so much fun watching Max interact with his cousins. Amanda is a little leery of Maximo with good reason, he's not the best sharer and he isn't always gentle. Jessica is super sweet with Max and patient with the babes, even though she's 6 going on 16.

Yesterday we went to Buttonwood Farms which has a beautiful sunflower field and AMAZING homemade ice cream. Their sunflower proceeds are all donated to the Make A Wish Foundation, which makes the experience extra sweet.

This has been a common face this trip - either extreme happiness or... NOT!

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
