Matt has been in Qatar and is settling in...so far so good. There is a lot of missing each other but we will make it through. Had to post these picks of our last family outing at the park! :)
Bisa & Biso were here for Grandma's annual visit with my students speaking of her experiences in Cuba before, during and after Castro's takeover. The kids were impressed as always and just loved her. They helped with the awful drive to and from the airport with him leaving for an international flight...at 6am, 2 hours away...so we left at 2am! Then the goodbyes and drive home. Bisa made Mommy's favorites and even taught Ella how to cook plantains...Mommy & Daddy LOVE those!!! They were even sweet enough to postpone their trip home a day to stay with Ella & save me a sick day. After a trip to the dr...the verdict was ruptured ear drum. After fevers, a lot of pain & some expensive, strong ear drops - she is doing much better! We are going to the dr for a follow-up and 5 year check up with the much anticipated shots for Kindergarten!...then the dentist for Mommy! Fun day!
We are making it through the distance thanks to technology! Magic Jack for phone and Skype for seeing each other and we talk/see each other daily. It is really helping. We are slowly making progress in the house with things being sold & packing being done either for yard sale or storage. It is kind of freeing to get rid of things you don't use/wear and have accumulated over 12 (almost) years of marriage!!
Let the adventure begin!!!
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend with better weather than we are having!! :(
