Judah is doing so great he went 10 days with being dry in the morning. Needless to say he got the game we promised him if he could go at least three. We bought him the Cars game for his leapster…it is all in Spanish. We are so proud of him. Alyx just might have a bunch of pull-ups for the future if he is going to keep this up. We more then likely found a pre school for him, and it is way less expensive then we thought…but a drive away. But only about 10 minutes from the church offices where Aaron will be at. It starts and nine and goes to 12:30 and is Monday through Friday. There are some other options, but in Mexico you are required by law to start school when you are three, and have three years of preschool before they will allow you to start the first grade. Three year olds already know how to read and write…it’s totally crazy. Also if he were to attend a preschool that is public he must have signed medical documents. While I am school tomorrow, Aaron is going to check out the school for him. He is really excited to start. Oh and guess what Mom, Judah drank a whole glass of milk the other day. We got it on camera for you, tried to get his milk mustache, but it didn’t really work out. The whole time he was drinking it we kept telling him how Nanna would be so proud. Just wanted to let you know.
Alyx is doing well too. She was sick for a bit…high fever for a couple of days, and then she threw up a few times and she was all better. It seems it is going around here. She is going to be spending days with daddy and that will be fun for her, as she is a daddy’s little girl.
Aaron is going to start work on Eikon Media Productions this next week. It’s great the people at the church have offered him a place to work and child care for Alyx…right there on site. They have someone on staff who watches the kids a couple hours a day so that the wives of the pastors can come in and work on some things for the church as well. They have invited Aaron to use this while he works on EMP. Not only will this help Aaron get EMP off the ground, but it will help him learn the language much better then he already knows…and Alyx will get to play with little ones her own language to learn at her level as well. God is so good, and is so good to us as well. This is such a blessing.
We went to church today, and it was amazing from what I saw. Worship was great, and Judah loved kid’s church. He is ready to go and play. We talked to Randy and Luicina Mischler today and it was tons of fun. I spent most of the time up in the nursery with Alyx she isn’t too sure of anywhere she doesn’t know yet, and the darker skin kind of scares her a little I think. It will be great culturally for her. It was interesting trying to communicate with the people who were working. One little boy tried to talk to me, most of the time we just looked at each other and laughed. We went out to lunch with our friend Mark’s Brother Eric and his wife and his family. We had a great time!! We are looking forward to the rest of our time here in Mexico, and so far so good. Oh yeah, we thought that we might let you know that we don’t have internet at our apartment, we are debating on weather or not it is worth the money to have hit hooked up. So if you don’t hear from us for a while that is why. I can get it at the school, and Aaron at the church, but that pretty much limits us to email only, and no skype, so let us know if you think you will be using skype enough for us to get it installed. It is not that much, but enough to wonder if we really need it here. It is kind of nice being media free. No TV…no internet…it forces us to really communicate with each other, but on the other hand it’s hard too. If you are going to use skype, don’t feel bad to let us know. For all you MySpacers out there…that means no IMing either. So let us know what you think. We will be checking our e-mail and MySpace this week.
I am starting school tomorrow, and that is about it. I am loving the food, and all the fun we are having so far. Tomorrow is when our schedule is really going to start. We are still on hunt for a gym with safe childcare, but some people have so kindly offered to call to see what is available. Well that’s all for now. Sorry they are so long again. I hope you are enjoying them. Love you all!!!
I am confused.........yeah I know, no surprise. But where are the picture?? How do I get to them?
