Learning My Way Around

The past few days I've been taking kids to various doctors' appointments with Katrina - I am learning how to get to and from the different hospitals and offices around town. So far we've taken kids to get hearing aids inspected, to work with speech therapists, to get hip x-rays, and to the pediatrician.
This happy guy had to wait a LONG time to get those x-rays! Sorry for the bad picture - I'll have to get another one.



Traveling with toddlers on public transportation is quite the experience! Most of the time the kids have been really great about sitting pretty still and behaving, so it's as easy as it could be. I just still have to learn the 984759348 different bus routes or "trufie" routes...(just big vans basically.)
I'm surprised at how much I enjoy going to my language school here - it's been fun to meet people, and my teachers are just great people. It's helping a bunch, but I know that I still have a long ways to go! For the past 2 weeks I've repeatedly thought I was telling people or kids that I was going to be right back, but instead I've been telling them that I'm stirring. Awesome. :)
This week a mother and daughter from Texas are visiting to learn more about Casa de Amor - this means that we have lots of fun activities planned to show them a good time.
Last,
2 Weeks Old! Do you think she's getting bigger?


During our nights together, she thanked me for being her roommate by soaking through her 2 layers of clothes, my 2 blankets, sheets, and pajamas at 3:45 this morning...good thing she is this cute!

  2. so in Spanish what have you been saying when you were trying to say "I'll be right back?"

    which langauge school are you going to?

    Baby girl F is adorable....and I agree sometimes it is really good they are so cute :)

    Oh and you'll learn the routes fast. The more you do it the easier it is. And you'll also learn how to read the signs on the front of them and learn new ones. You're lucky you're there so long - you'll know Cocha like the back of your hand :)
