Finding our footing with our new family roles, taking on transformations of paramount importance and trying new ideas on for size, have kept us busy little bees. Though I am sure none of this surprises you in the very least.
So, hmm, where to begin?
Claudio is officially working at the School with me. He is mostly in charge of doing anything and everything I can't get to (administrative things like accounts payable and whatnot) and besides being the sexist secretary/accountant one could home for, he has also become the soul of our home, keeping it clean and tidy and making sure all of us eat 3 meals a day. (Thanks to this I have finally put on a bit of weight!)
Juani is going to school each day for 3 hours and he absolutely loves it. He has 10 little friends that he talks about nonstop, yes, he is my child, haha, if there were doubts before, now that his speech skills have come into play, there is no need to go on questioning. He is a chatty Kathy just like his Mommy. hehe
Before getting ahead of myself, I think it is high time I sent you some updated photos...
This when Juan had to go to school dressed as a fisherman and we made him a bamboo fishing pole and a wire-plastic-bag-look-like-a-net-thing.

My boy!
Pinwheels...

Ok, so back to other news. I have started a few side projects to help make ends meet. I am really excited about them. One is called Rosario Free Tour. It is a donation only walking tour of the city that we give once a week. The tour is 2 hours long and because it is "free" tons of people go, hence making the total amount of donations quite a bit more than if it were a paid tour.
I have given one so for and it was AMAZING!
The second side project I am doing with one of my teachers. It is called Barlingual and it is a monthly language event in a bar. We put together trivia night and different games and conversation topics for Argentineans who are learning English to be able to practice with native English speakers who are learning Spanish, and vice versa. We sell tickets for the event and at the first one there were roughly 40 people, so, I guess what I am saying is, Claudio quitting his job was quite possibly the best decision we have ever made as a family. It has allowed us to get creative, to spend much more time with each other as a family and we are now putting all of our energy into the same projects.
Soooo, I guess that's the rap. Loads of new ideas, dozens of creative endeavors, loads and loads of love, and time to enjoy it all. (just not time to write about enjoying it all hehe)
I love and miss you all so very much and I hope you are all happy and healthy and well. We are still planning to arrive to the US around mid December. As soon as we get tickets I will let you all know.
Thousands of long distance kisses to you all!
