Gettin' out of limbo

Well since we dropped our big news, Sasha's ordered books about Poland, started freaking out about getting a job in Warsaw nearly two years in advance and come back to earth and determined that all will work out fine as it is surely a good sign that the priest who might baptize Ivan next month is from Poland. Hooray for superstition!

So that little roller coaster ride is over and it is on to the next: finding childcare for Ivan and figuring out our plans for the many upcoming weddings and holidays. And how to deal with the fact that the last episode of THE WIRE is in the mail to us. And after we watch it, it will all be over. Gulp.


We already know about Omar (*sniffle*).

So this entry is going to be baby-photo intensive as an effort to guilt Uncle Sam into coming to visit his first and only nephew. A nephew who is obviously very athletic and quite open to learning some footwork for his future job as Liverpool's striker. So get down here, bro.
Stop! Tummy time!


The highlights from the last couple weeks include attending our neighbor baby's first birthday,
going to baptismal classes at the one and only English-language parish,

No pants party!

Sergio starting his new rotation at his job,

Professional Morenos.
cruising neighborhood daycares,

Ivan was not a fan of this place, apparently.

starting to research the "muchacha" option for childcare,

What's wrong with this muchaca?

and taking Ivan to his 3 month check-up. He's all good.

Likes to stick out his tongue.

And chew on his hands.

Doc said his head is perfectly average size.

And he sure seems perfectly happy!


Well that's it for now. September should be a relatively quiet month, gearing up for big TX trips in October. So look forward to more Ivan since ya know, we don't get around like we used to.
