April Update

We have now been in Honduras for 2 months now and we have 2 months until we head back to the Pacific NW to give birth to little Streett #2. I feel like we won’t be quite settled by the time we have to go.  I guess such is the nature of this life, by the time you get settled you have to pick up and move again.  N is definitely enjoying the weather and all the space to run around here.  He rarely wears more than a T-shirt and is doing fairly well on our newest round of potty training.  He gets “off” with each change, but is still growing like a weed.  He measured almost 35 inches this morning, but skinny as a string bean.  His cute little baby thighs aren’t going to last much longer.  Although I find it a little too hot being pregnant, it isn’t as formal as it was at Main State so I can dress more comfortably going to work each day.   

I’m enjoying my job and I feel like I am getting the swing of it.  It is harder in some ways than I expected, but better in others.  Not just for our lives, but it will difficult to go and come for my job as well.  When we first get back to Pacific NW, I’ll be doing a temp job at the Seattle Passport Agency, where hopefully I will add to my skills to bring back to the embassy with me.  We shall see!  It is going to be quite the summer.  

We have been getting out more, mostly to restaurants and grocery shopping, but it has been fun.  We have a French Sunday brunch place that we go to most weekends.  We have a couple pizza places we like, and one we don’t.  If you are a fast food fan, Tegucigalpa is your perfect location.  There is a main road where there is every kind of fast food under the sun.  S keeps suggesting a Ruby Tuesday outing, but I must say, it doesn’t sound that appealing to me in either country.  Though I have heard that the food tends to be better that the Sysco food you would get at Ruby’s back home.  Tegucigalpa manages to have a Thai place (really tasty!) that is more expensive that we’ve ever paid for Thai food in the states!

In a final piece of trivia, there are 3 people from Vancouver, WA here.  It sure is a small world!

N and his favorite pastime, squirting the hose!
