What's Been Goin On...

So, I have been busy these past two weeks! It is exam time at school--takes tons o time to write those babies! Also, we have started practicing for our Christmas play. My classes are performing A Christmas Carol and it is going to be great!

Gabriella is growing like a weed! She has been a bit sick, but she is also getting one of her top teeth, so we are not sure if she is sick, or just teething! She is hilarious, though! She is up on everything, bouncing around, letting go and standing for a few moments. It is awesome to watch her figure things out!

Tomorrow we are celebrting Thanksgiving with our North American and Mexican friends here. We are bringing cranberries, mashed potatoes, and cerveza....it should be a lot of fun!

Hope all is well! Things are going great here! Miss you all! We aren't going to be able to travel to the states for the holiday, but my mom and friend George are coming on Dec. 27...so we will do a late Christmas and then we celebrate Gabby's first birthday on the 28th! It will be great to have them here!

I posted two new short videos so check out our video bar under the pics on the right to view 'em!

Halloween day and this past week...

Here are some pics of Hallowen Day from 2007 in Utah when I was regnant and 2008 in Mexico. This year I dressed up as a vampire for school. My day was awesome. The room mothers at our school built a catwalk and that is where we had our parade and such. After, we played games in our classroom and then the room mothers made a haunted house, had Animal Planet come with some creepy crawlies, a pie fight, and a table of freaky foods. It was a whole lot of fun! On Saturday we went shopping at some outlet malls and then took Gabby trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Around here, kids trick-or-treat at the local shops since most of the houses are built above the shops, or are surrounded by walls. You can also see the ofrenda we created for our fathers for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Gabby had her 10 month check-up this week and got 1/2 a dose of a flu shot. She is 18 lbs. and 28 cm. She is LOVING trying new solids and she will jabber your ear off! She is into everything and pulling up on everything, too! When she feels brave she lets go and stands for a few seconds...realizes what she's doing...then falls!

My mom and my friend George boked tix to be here for Gabby's birthday and a post Christmas celebration. We are so excited for them to be here!!!!!!!!! Hope all is well and yeah Barack!
