Kids

Let me start this out by saying, I love my kids. However, what is up with bed time? Lena has started crying when I go to put her in bed and Sean just won't go to bed. I'm really hoping it's just a phase! I'm not sure how much of this I can stand. My patience is being pushed to it's limit. Breath in, breath out....

I'm finally starting to get the hang of Spanish. A friend of mine and his wife are teaching me Spanish during the kids nap time and in the evening after the kids finally go to sleep. I can not express my thanks to them for their efforts in getting this gringa as prepared as possible for my Mexico adventure.

On the Mexican front, apartment hunting Brian will go. He's seen several and has several more to check out. So far all of the pictures that I've seen, the apartments have been very nice.

Well, my baby turns one on Friday. I can't believe it's been a year already. Man, time flies! My next post will be all about her birthday party!

Till then...

Girly stuff

I received the most adorable thing in the mail today! My friend owns a business in OKC, OK called Hissyfits. Make sure you check them out on Facebook and at their website www.hissyfits.net. She sent a pink pettiskirt for my soon to be one year old daughter to wear for her princess birthday party. I adjusted the waist and put it on her and OMG....I can not express just how cute she looked! As soon as we've taken pictures, I'll post them.
On another front, packing is going. We cleaned out the attic today so all of our Christmas decorations are either in storage or ready for the move. Our pink flamingo "reindeer" didn't make the cut so they had to go to storage. For those of you who are wondering what pink flamingo reindeer are, here is a picture.

Well, that's pretty much it for now.

It's a...blog post!

Well, I decided to start a blog. Why not?! I've seen tons of really cool blogs out there from other moms to working ladies living abroad. I have not, however, found a blog from a stay-at-home mom living abroad. So, here it is. I hope you get a laugh out of the things that I'll write about as well as some tips about travel, sewing, cooking or whatever else decides to tumble out of my brain! Enjoy!
