Great news!!
Read THIS if you are old.
As for the day, an awesome
day watching our hijo sit himself up and also pull himself into a standing
position while in his cuna. I am sure all parents go through this excitement,
but it does not lessen what we are feeling about the experience.
I had Max for a few hours
this morning and then passed him off to Bex as I had to meet with Randy and his
team to discuss Mojon. More on that in a moment.
But first, the cuna fotos.
Nine fotos of Max enjoying life "behind the bars".
Not sure what he is scoping on the ceiling...flexible niño though.
Yeah padre...I'm talking to you!!
You hear that rippie?
Hulking out on the bars.
And from his knees onto his feet.
I think I have seen the light!!
Uh padre...legs getting tired.
Padre?
Thanks for putting the camera down and helping me...not.
When I passed off Max, he
was ready for a nap and had been asleep in my arms, but had awoken when I put
him into his cuna. Well, I guess he was NOT ready for a nap and it took some
doing from madre to make it happen.
The same thing happened
again in the afternoon and ended up with Max having his Segundo CN con madre!!
Lucky peeps!!
As for the meeting I had,
we spent a few minutes reviewing the plans and then 4 of us drove out to Mojon
to get an idea on what we are really looking at.
Mañana I am to receive a
ballpark figure on what this company would charge to complete the build. We are
not expecting a lower price from them, but would be pleasantly surprised. We
know they normally build higher end homes and we also know our guy is squeezing
the price so he can win the job and be the first to build a really nice casa at
Mojon.
So, stay tuned. As for
Roman, I just received an email from him and Sergio is away, so no visit to his
casa, but we are able to proceed to stage 2, which includes CAD drawings, some
facades and some tighter cost quotes. Exciting times.
After we came back from
Mojon, I popped into Che to grab some pollo para la cena. When I came out, who
was there to greet me? Hola to mi familia!! Max y madre had made the walk to
grab some cereal bars and to see if they could hook up with me…and they did.
It was awesome to see the
two of them and felt great to see the lil’slingster was excited to see his
padre!!
They hitched a ride and we
headed home where I got ready for el gimnasio and Max y madre got good use out
of the play palace and the JJ.
Amy dropped off more water
while Max was in the JJ and Amy had to stop and admire the contraption and say
hola to us. I asked how busy he is with the heat and his truck carries 40
garaffons, he normally delivers 120 plus a day and his record is 230. Busy guys
in this heat.
I hit the gym where
everyone was panting and sweating, and then strolled back through the centro.
Grabbed some more pesos and also had a pit stop at Gabriels as I had not seen
the boys for a few days.
Fotos from the gym walk.
Check back in a few years.
Amy y Victor stopped by as I was taking these fotos near the cantina.
That is going to be one wild y crazy fiesta!!
Daniel y familia are all
well, even though all the maestros have been up in Oaxaca doing their annual
protesting, this time it has carried on for over 10 days. Yikes. I heard the
big disagreement is that the Oaxacan government wants to set up evaluations for
the teachers and they do not want this.
You think the BC education
system has opportunities with its teachers? You haven’t seen anything. I hear
the teachers syndicate (union) is the biggest, strongest, richest and most
corrupt in all of Mexico. Every presidential candidate that the union has
backed, wins the election. Hmmmmm.
No word on our fridge
shelf. The first one was broken when it arrived in Puerto (or was it?) and now
Daniel tells me the tienda has moved the arrival date 2 times. I figure another
week and we will see. Stay tuned.
After Gabriels, home time
and found the CN in progress. Puttered around and after his ONE hour plus CN,
he awoke and the two of us had alberca time for a good 40 minutes!!
And of course we had the
pool to ourselves…no complaints!!
Upstairs to start the
rutina and Max was a trooper, but was he ever hungry by the time his leche
arrived.
Talking about food…so I
got to Santa Cruz Abarrotes and buy some Gerbers platanos as it is one of the
few pre-made foods we buy. I grabbed a few jars and the last of the Franks Red
Hot sauce. We feed Max some banana during the rutina, only to find out it is
Gerber stage 2 food. Huh? Stage 2? That explains why there are so many
ingredients in it vs stage 1. Gotta tell you, the stage 1 banana jars look just
like the stage 2 jars.
I guess stage 1 eases the
niños belly into all the food types…doph. We are not worried as it was only a
few tablespoons, neither Bex nor I have food allergies and we watched him for a
few hours before he went to sleep. All good…but we will pay even more attention
to those deets.
Anyway, Max held tight
while we ate our pollo and was lights out after madre topped up his tanque.
Bexico had a busy day, she
was on both feet and all 9 toes for most of it!! Cleaned the condo AND spent
some quality time in the cocina making some more cubitos of food for Max. On
today’s menu for preparation? Peaches, pears y broccoli and mañana she will
cook up the potato y manzana. Chef Bex!!
And now? She is up in the
oficina working hard on a project.
Last foto of the day.
Mañana…el gimnasio, lunch
con Randy y Karen…and meatloaf a la Chef Bexico!!
Hasta mañana.
Marco, Bexico y Max
