Long overdue update.

It's been a while since I updated, so here's the scoop! Mat is doing really well. He's growing like a weed! Last weekend we went to the Wells' annual Cinco de Mayo party, and he was quite the sight in his little guayabera (as seen on the left with Ed). He is now sleeping roughly 6 hours at night - which makes it really nice on Rafi since he is staying at home with him while I work.

Speaking of work, this will officially be my last year of work for a while. We've made the (difficult) decision for me to be a stay at home mom for a while. I can't tell you how much I will miss my students and school. However, I will still be hanging around there doing some mentoring/tutoring work now and then. I'm also interested in starting an after-school 5k training program in the spring semester. They can't get rid of my that easily!

Rafi's parents were here the last several weeks. Tita was very busy cooking us all the goodness over the 2.5 weeks she was here. So much for dieting!! It was all delicious and a very nice thing to come home to. We thank her so much for helping us out!! And thanks to Luis for pouring the wine - although I only needed a glass to feel it! I think the Outlet Malls will also miss them. We are both thankful that they were able to visit and look forward to seeing them in Panama in December.

This Monday Rafi will return to work. Since I have one and a half weeks of school left, my mother will be coming to stay with us to help out with the baby. Thanks to her in advance!
