Buenos noches!!

All good here, Max is asleep after another long and fun filled day.

Not much to report and we will have to start taking the camera on our early morning prowl, as we are starting to have more and more family swims instead of a 2nd prowl and are low on fotos. Doph.

We are thinking about buying a small camera so madre can take it to the playa for her daily trips con Max.

Funnest part of the morning prowl? Well, I did enjoy sitting on the curb and eating our muffin together, but I think the funnest part was watching Max help a niña pull her mochila on wheels.

We were in the zocalo and a senora walked by with 3 niñas, on their way to the escuela. One of the girls had a knapsack on wheels and was pulling it by its handle, when Max caught up with her and grabbed the handle to assist.

The niña was super friendly and made sure the other peeps saw this occurring and slowed down for the 5 minute walk to the escuela.

When we arrived at the school yard, I made sure we both thanked the niña and Max also blew her a besito…he has made another amiga!!

After another huge desayunos, we had some chill time to let the food settle, and then it was off to the alberca. All 3 of us are enjoying this swim time and now see this as a regular part of our AM rutina.

The boys had another great siesta and then Max headed off with madre and after my comida, I was off to el gimnasio.

Good work out and then off to the centro to say hola to Daniel and then onto the condo to get us set up.

I gotta talk to the butcher…tough steaks again. Argh. Thank goodness for A-1 sauce!!

So there we are, soaking in the tina and since I cannot reach Oma y Opa on the FT, I set up Max to watch his airplane video. The niño loves the pictures, but there he was dancing in his tina as he loves the song too. Hilarious.

Hilarious until his abuelos call us up on FT and I turn off his video. Happiness turned into sadness within 5 minutes or so, so at first we watch the video with Oma y Opa and the smile returns.

But we cannot keep this up, so off the video goes and out comes the sad face. Adios Oma y Opa…doph.

And then when Bex arrives to scrub the lil’man down, pure “I love the Mac” meltdown when I took it out of the baño. Doph.

But it did not last long as we promised Max he could watch it again soon, and gave him his Happy Man action figure. Our lil’man became contento and he even repeated the words Happy Man. Score.

Pretty easy bedtime but for the last week or so The Whisperer has been needed. Max hates to fall asleep and his latest attempts to stay awake include slapping his foot on the mattress in the cuna.

The pace of the slapping slows and all of a sudden he is lights out. And at 935pm, he remains that way as I type out the update and Bex is hard at work in the oficina.

Here are the only fotos for today, a few taken post siesta, using the Photo Booth app on the Mac.

Not quite wanting to wear them outside, but during his comida is a start. Oh Max.


The tongues of the 3 amigos.



Bex y Max flashing some muscles.





Oh yes, Bex is muy tonta, silly!!



And one foto showing why you NEVER follow a truck pulling a cement mixer. Nice hitch...doph.


Mañana? Nothing out of the norm planned for our miercoles, except a Che run to search for some leche fresca!!

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max

Feliz Día de Canada!!

Well the reverse jinx kinda worked. A few wake ups during the night, which had not been happening recently, but the final wake up was 630am…so we are happy.

Maybe the wake ups were because Max was cold? We hit a chilly 25,9 last night…brrr.

Not much to report for our día…prowl, desayunos, family pool time and then a great siesta.

Madre y Max hit the playa after their comida, and I hit el gimnasio and then headed home to chillax and then get us set up para la cena and the PM rutina.

Pretty tranquilo día.

And due to the early prowl and then a family swim, not many fotos to share...doph.

The lil'man might become a chef!!


Or a guitar player in a band!!


Or a movie star because he is such a character!!


I know you are all waiting on the edges of your seats, asking yourself if Bubba has the junio 2013 weather stats. Wait no more…here they are!!

Our June had slightly cooler days, averages of 31,6 grados vs 32,2 last year, and slightly warmer nights, at an average of 27,0 vs 26,5 last year.

As for lluvia, we had 10 days with some rain, while last year we had 13. In julio 2012, we had only 4 days, so it is already expected to be drier.

And what kind of temperatures can we expect this julio? Much warmer days at 34,3 grados while the nights hover around 27,2 grados. Warmer, but the good news is that based on last years notes, we had almost no humido!! Score!!

Ok folks, the long weekend is over. Have a great martes!!

Marco, Bexico y Max
