Hello All!
Wow! So sorry we've let two weeks go by with no news -- I suppose that we're just getting busy with school, Fede's classes, and Martha's work with Navarra. It's been a great last couple of weeks though. Of course, the highlight being Thanksgiving!
First, I want to give a huge shout-out to our Aunt Katie and Uncle Juan who absolutely MADE our Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, because we received a care package from them on that day. Otherwise, it would have been a totally normal, bland day. Instead, we were surprised with a box filled with Texas Salsa, Chips, 2 jars of PEANUTBUTTER!, Instant Oatmeal, Lipton Ice Tea --ah!-- we were So happy....Francisco just hugged the Peanutbutter jar in sheer joy....we felt like soldiers in Iraq receiving supplies! ha ha...
We strategically decided to move our Thanksgiving celebration to Saturday night so that it would be more fun and relaxing. Two other American families joined us: Leah and Scott Robertson and Carolina and Jason Curtis (and their two kiddos, Juliana and Max). We han an authentic Thanksgiving dinner, complete with a Heritage Turkey (compliments of the Curtis family!), Corn Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli Salad, Slaw, and Pumpkin Pie -- all of it was outstanding!!
Francisco anxiously awaited the Turkey, which took about four hours to bake, but it was worth the wait.....
Ta-Dah! Here she is. What a Beauty!
And, speaking of beauties, here is Leah and the kids happily feeling her pregnant belly!
This is a pic from a week ago, but I thought I'd throw it in, because Fran REALLY liked his paper crown! He wore it ALL day. :)
I still have the pics of Toledo pending....
