Joaquin is so close to crawling.  But he absolutely hates being on his stomach.  Within the next few days he should hopefully get the hang of it.  

Stella and Isaac love to ride their bikes and love to play with Joaquin.  

I've been really sick with just about everything for the past few days but I think I'm starting to feel better.  I also ordered a few Jane Austen books, Pride & Prejudice and Emma.  I started P&P today and I'm really liking it.  Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.  I'm also going to start training to run a half marathon...if I ever get better.  If you want to join me let me know.  

Drew has been working a lot less!  We love this.  It's so nice to have him around on the weekends and right before bed.  Especially when mommy is sick.  

We also have 58 days until we move home.  But who's counting?

(I'm having blogger problems and I can't load any video or photos.  I'll try later)

Jane Austen

I think I'm the only person out there that is not a Jane Austen fan.  I read Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice about 10 years ago.  I didn't enjoy either but everybody else did so I tried to like them.  Then I watched the forever long Pride & Prejudice movie.  This was forced upon my by roommates that only watched Jane Austen movies on Sundays.  

Anyways, I want to try and read or reread a Jane Austen novel.  Why?  While Drew was in London last week I downloaded Becoming Jane.  The funny thing is I really liked it.  So I'm wondering which book I should read.   What's your favorite Jane Austen novel?

Tonight right before bed Isaac came out and asked me if I thought we needed to go to the hospital.  Totally confused I looked at him and asked why.  He showed me his hand and said he hurt it earlier in the day and now it has a line on it.  I looked at his hand and couldn't see anything.  I asked him where he hurt it and where the line was.  He looked at me and said on my hand but I don't remember which hand.  I started laughing a little and he looked and asked if we should hurry and go to the hospital.  Umm Why?  

Somehow I forgot to teach him that if he hurts his hand and can't remember which hand it is it's probably OK.  

Trying to buy a house internationally is impossible!  So yes, we are in the process of buying a house.  I'm super excited.  I'm also getting frustrated.  I've been trying to call home inspectors and real estate lawyers for the past couple of days and I feel like I've made no progress.  Who knew the easy part would be finding the house and working out the details with the sellers. Does anyone have a good real estate lawyer?  or home inspector?  If you do please leave a comment or email me.  

2.5 more months!!!

Wow!  We fly home in 2 1/2 months.  I'm so excited.  So where's home?  Westchester, NY.  We can't wait.  We'll keep you updated when we know more.
