Adventures in Peru....

Finally, I am almost caught up with the blog... At least now I'm in the current year.

I went a little crazy there for a while, completely obsessing about updating the blog. Jon even joked about how I was spending more time at night with the blog than him.

So... I took a little break and now I'm back!

We started off this year in Lima, Peru.
We visiting back in December of 2008, and we always talked about going back. After so many events in the end of 2008, the stars aligned and sent us to Lima.

We are staying with my grandparents, which is such a blessing in so many ways.

Here are some of the highlights....

Since we are below the equator it's summer!! (Well, right now it's technically fall, I think, but from what I hear about the climate here, there is only summer and winter, and in winter, it doesn't get too cold) So, we practically got to skip over winter, which was pretty sweet, because we love the beach.

Mikael after retiring from speaking Spanish at the young age of three and half has decided to not only understand what you are saying in Spanish, but now once again to respond. In the beginning of March we enrolled him in school, where along with Spanish he is learning so much, and he loves it! This past Saturday he told my grandmother he wanted to go to school, and was pretty disappointed when he realized that it was Saturday and that there was no school. He even got into his first fight here, which I must add he did not start.

Soli is blossoming so much! She learned to flip over. She learned to crawl. She learned to sit up alone. She's a little flirt and is loving all the extra attention she is getting from everyone. She's babbling and screaming and laughing and giggling. She is so much fun and is always so happy.

I especially love seeing happiness in my grandparents as they spend time with their great grandchildren.

Jon is having so much fun too!! He fits right in with the family and everyone loves him (I mean, how could anyone not, he's AMAZING).

We are really enjoying our experience here and feel so blessed to have this opportunity. 

Oh yea, and the sunsets here are so beautiful!... As you can probably tell.
