Dad was photographer! |
We are very much back into the swing of things here in Honduras, it feels like we never left! M is growing longer each minute and N is trying his darndest to potty train...or maybe he is trying to stay un-potty trained. S has started working as a security escort in the Embassy and already knows more people than I do. He is moving all around most of the day, traveling to sections of the embassy I have never been too. Though we both agree we prefer our own jobs and not each others. I interview a little under 100 people per day, rarely do you get a "new" interview. I feel like I've interviewed people before when it is their first time applying because so many of the stories are the same. Nevertheless, I still find the job interesting...which is necessary because I'll be there for at least another 9 months or so!
N and M seem to really love the nanny. She has requested activity ideas and a menu for N...if I were only that organized. I created a list of potential meals and then she asked about snacks! O_O Being in Honduras, labor is relatively cheap here. We hired a carpenter and for a little over $100, N and M have their own playhouse! Painting is still in progress...
M is currently sleeping in my arms and N is bouncing around painting watercolors, drawing, sweeping, opening and closing doors, among other things. The nanny and housekeeper are concerned that he doesn't sit still long enough to "play." But I see so much of me in him and I still rarely sit still. In job interviews I always used to answer honestly that my biggest weakness is that I get bored easily. (Now he found a mop and is mopping the walkway outside.) Our lovely M:
In other news, thanks to some friends, we've finally found a pizza place we really like! And without anymore babbling, here are some pictures of N's school Xmas production:
