Life As I Know It

 This past weekend marked 3 months since we moved to Guatemala. I can honestly say it has been a wonderful 3 months. It does feel like we've been here a lot longer than that though.  We both are finding a new normal since we have moved to our house. Tristan is helping at the clinic and school in Oratorio. He often plays football (soccer) with the students much to their delight. With his daily interaction with the little guys, I enjoy seeing them sidle up to him and chatter away. Tristan can hold conversations quite well since he has been able to speak Spanish with people on a regular basis.

 Last Monday, we had our first night at our home. It feel so good to have a place called home. We are delighted with the house we are able to rent.

It makes my heart so happy.  Cake the Neighbor Lady Made We couldn't have been given nicer neighbors. Our neighbor lady makes and sells cakes.

She says there will be a lot of pastel (cake) there. I believe we will be eating well. School Prep Trist...
