Pura Vida (Wikipedia Definition, paraphrased)...Pura Vida, literally translated means "Pure Life" but means contextually something approximate to "Full of Life", "Purified life", "This is living!" It can be used as a greeting, as a word of farewell, to express satisfaction...Costa Ricans use the phrase to express something akin to a philosophy of...enjoying life slowly and celebrating good fortune of magnitudes small and large alike.

Patrick's 33rd Birthday
Happy 33rd Birthday, Patrick -- We had a great day. Papa came to visit us (er, escape the Girls' Weekend that was happening at his house...) and we had a BIG Arvada-Tastic evening. We started out at Manneken's for some tasty Belgian Frites (they are seriously SO good...), which we then took over to the newly opened Arvada Beer Company, our own local brewery here in Olde Town. They don't serve food, so you can bring your own -- we brought our Frites! THEN, Patrick went over to Udi's (our old standby) and brought back some wood-fired pizzas. EPIC.
We then came home for cake and ice cream, and not quite 33 candles on the cake, but as many as Papa could fit. (Carrot cake, as usual. We didn't have time to bake this year, so it was from King Soopers...still very good!)
The THREE of us...
What a lucky boy -- KU shirt, just in time for basketball season. And some adorable tiny Jayhawk socks! They didn't fit Patrick, so we will save them for Baby T.
