Catch Up Time!

Hello All! First off, NO swine flu for this family! We have been just fine and after many weeks off work....we are all back into the swing of things. When schools closed down here we left for Puebla to visit Enrique's family. While there, we FINALLY got Gabby's Mexican passport and a few days later she and I left for the U.S. We were able to stay and visit for about a week. If we didn't get to see you....no worries! We will be back in July!

We had a great time in Utah. It was so great to see my family and expose Gabby to some firsts...walking around on carpet with bare feet, playing on the grass,running around a more spacious home than our apt. here in Mexico, and trying new Gerber flavors that aren't available here. The thing she probably enjoyed most was playing with the cats and dogs at our house in Utah! Our cats slept with us at night and Gabby would wake up in the morning, hold her finger up to her lips and say, "Shhh! Meow!" and point to the cat. I believe she was telling me to be quiet because the cat was sleeping! So cute!

We flew back to Mexico last Sunday and I returned to work Monday. We are required to wear face masks for these first 2 weeks back, the kids are washing and sanitizing the hands like crazy, and we are workin hard academically! I think some of the new hygene req. seem silly in a way...like OBSESSIVELY washing hands and sanitizing pencils and whatnot....but it is great to see Mexico getting cleaned up. They even cleaned the metro for crying out loud...that has probably happened...NEVER! So, people here being far more aware of the need to wash hands after using the restroom, sanitize when on getting on/off public transportation, seeing mounted bottles of sanitizer at Wally World...all that is pretty cool.

It is Teacher's Day this week, and we have Friday off of school. I will probably celebrate by cleaning the house, taking a walk, and chillin with my sweet baby and loverly hubby!

Hope all is well for one and all!
Cheers!
