Across the big pond

After four days of house hunting in Mexico we're finally settled and enjoying our vacation in Florida (see picture) with my family. The few days in Mexico were tiring and we did find a nice house we liked but we aren't being too optimistic about it just yet. Like the last house we found the realator just says 'okay' and we just shake hands. We hope they'll honor our handshake in a few weeks.

I've been expanding at an alarming rate and I look like I'm at least a month ahead of my 6 month belly. When I leave I'll be 7 months and then some so I hope the airlines will let me fly back to Mexico. We were surprised that Mexicana airlines is so strict about pretty much everything--cats, toddlers, seatbelts, pregnant ladies and strollers--they hassled us a lot. Airline personnel kept asking "how far along are you anyway?" and giving me that look like "hmm we aren't too sure" with glaring eyes. I'm worried about the trip back to Mexico where I'll join Seb in early September. I hope they'll let me on the plane without a medical certificate. I will have to fib a little and say I'm still just sixth months along.

I'm having a terrible time typing on the qwerty keyboard on my new laptop. I love my new laptop though. It's so sweet! I can't believe I went three weeks without a computer and survived. It's been hard.

Little S (the s is for spoiled by the way) is doing well and speaking nonstop in French lately, go figure. He loves the States though. Everyone here has a swimming pool and a boat so he's in heaven. He's learning to swim and he loves the beach or the 'beesh' as he calls it. He's definitely a water baby.
