Andres took an afternoon nap. One of our last in this house. Taxo joined him.

We will move in less than 2 weeks. Packing is a pain. It is not something that gets easier the more times you do it. It’s still a headache the 10th time I’m pretty sure. The cat does not get to come with us, at least not for the time being. Maybe next year we will ship him to Chile with the in-laws. He will be greatly missed, along with a number of things. It’s been a good 12 months.

 

Cool Mo June 16, 2009

My nephew Mo graduated from preschool this week. I wish I could have been there. He is really such a cool kid.

He’s the bright eyed one. I just love the “I Love Jesus!” sign behind them. Ridiculously cute.

And the Rest of the family; Christine, Kali, Jo and Grandpa Phil.

What a crazy bunch.

Thanks Dad for supplying the pictures.

What a wonderful birthday I had. My last 365 days of my 20s. Time does fly doesn’t it?

To Baños for a 29th Birthday June 6, 2009

Filed under: Ecuador, GoodTimes — A&E @ 6:06 pm

I’m off of work for 8 days due to the swine flu. Two students at Colegio Menor were diagnosed with it after returning from a trip. So Andres and I took off Friday a little after lunch and came to Baños to stay at Luna Runtun and relax for a few nights. On our way we were given a spectacular show of a full rainbow. It was hard to do it justice in photos, but I tried.

The 4 hour car trip was good practice for what is to come in our lives for the next 6 months and really, just good times…

We checked into our room at Luna Runtun and chilled before dinner.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal orchestrated by Rodrigo. I didn’t get good pictures of the food yet, but I do have the chef.

Roberto and Mercedes are on their way to join us here for a night, to celebrate June 6, 2009. What a cool gift.

If only the rest of my family and friends could join me.
