Summer in Me-hi-co

A lot has happened in these last few months!! Dylan is talking more and more every day. He loves "wow-wows" and his favorite phrase is, "I wanna read a book". Gerardo has been working in Mexico with his brother Javier doing construction jobs for a variety of people. I have been busy with my online classes and chasing Dylan around. He falls a lot more here in Mexico and since the floors are all concrete, he kinda looks abused:( Dylan and I are here in Mexico until mid-August and we are soaking up every minute that we can together as a family.

Gerardo and I are still hoping that the 10 year ban law will change so that he can come back to the U.S. the right way.

My mom came with us to Mexico and she stayed with us for a week and a half. While she was here, it was so funny to see how many people would give us double-takes. We stand out here A LOT!! There are no tourists and there is no diversity here in Zamora, Michoacan. I love it though!

Some days are more entertaining than others. On the days that Ger doesn't work, I don't usually do any homework. I occupy my time by plucking his eyebrows or painting his toenials (shhh don't tell him I told you). We also go to my brother in laws house and watch my cute nephew Jesus dance like Michael Jackson.

Our favorite thing to do is walk to the mercado and buy chongos or macaroons, which are both delicious treats. I don't see how I haven't gained 50 pouds since I got here. All we do is eat!!

I love being here and I am so glad that I have the freedom to travel to and from Mexico to see Ger. It definitely has been an adjustment to get used to the way we live here, but being with my family is the only thing that matters to me.
