Pictures: doctor visit, "tuk-tuk"cab ride to doctor (oversized go-cart), Erick learning to climb steps and victorious at the top (yes, I hover over him so he doesn't faceplant), the street we live on with Volcano Agua in the background--inactive, and 3 of the other kids we live with.
I don't want to rub it in, but it's warm and sunny here and I'm pretty sure it's cold wherever you are!
Erick is a mover so I'm definitely getting my exercise chasing him. It's hard because there's a grassy courtyard area in the middle of our house that he really wants to roll around in but there's also a water basin there which attracts mosquitos. He's super sensitive to bug bites and must have the skin type that attracts mosquitos, etc. If he gets bitten he scratches at night keeping him uncomfortable. I do let him dig in the flower pots. And that's where our first lesson on "no" has been--not eating the rocks in the pots. He's doing pretty well at that and will repeat, in a surly pout and headshake, "no, no, no, no, no." It's hilarious.
I wanted to try out a church here Sunday morning, but I'm learning that kids often dictate your schedule. If' he's kept me up at night and back asleep at 10am, let him sleep! He's been waking up at 5 which is a little early for me yet, but I'm getting there. Yes, all you parents, go ahead and laugh. You knew Pat and Lee Anne had it coming to them sometime!
I'll get more consistent in writing once I get this schedule down better. Still trying to figure it out, but it's all good!

Very cute! So did you have to go into Guatemala City to see the doctor? Was it the same doctor he has seen before?

Before you know it, you will have the schedule thing down pat! We love hearing the stories - we want to learn as much as we can about Erick before he gets to KC. He is just so cute! We can't wait to love and hug on him!
I loved the pictures! It looks beautiful there - AND WARM! We're jealous! He's so adorable. Isn't motherhood wonderful!

um...excuse me...more posts please
We miss you. We are taking care of Dr. Patrick. We are keeping him very busy.
Hi Erick &LeeAnne, How great to hear your loving comments and great pictures. We thank you for the updates. LeeAnne you are already a "natural". You can see the pride in your face. What an active child Erick is - makes for a tired boy at bedtime and good sleeping for Mom. We are keeping Pat VERY busy. He is so proud and thinks "his" little boy is "pretty darn cute". We agree. We have your pictures up on the white board in the kitchen to bless every time we walk by. Thanks and God Bless. Love, Wanda
LeeLee-
He's SOOO cute...I can't wait to hug him myself!! It's so much fun to read about what's going on! I hope all is well...you're all (Uncle P included) in my thoughts and prayers daily!
I love you...give E a hug for me!

Lee Anne,
No more aerobic classes needed to keep in shape. You are now enrolled in the "motherhood exercise program!" It is the best!! It is such a treat to log on and see Erick's precious pictures and hear about your events. We are so excited for all of you. Please keep the posts coming! Take care and rest when you can!
