Never ever never ever will these faces get old. This is what I get when my babies see me creeping up pretending to be a spider.

Ten things August

We spent the 6th to the 13th in Orlando, fl. It was the last and most exhausting week of our trip to the US. It was also really amusing. It was fun to go and actually feel like we were on vacation and not just living with my parents or visiting temporarily. I went to Disney one day with the three kids and it was a bit difficult. We did a few baby rides in the morning with everyone and then the rest of the day my stepdaughter wanted to ride the bigger rides with me. To do this I had to leave the two smaller kids with my dad who has a busted knee and just hope everything was alright during long ass waits with no cell phone. I am ultimately glad that I went, and how much time I spent just me and Isidora, but I feel a bit of regret from our day I would have preferred to spend the entire day doing all the little kids rides and meeting Minnie Mouse with my baby girl. Florencia turned three on the 19th. We had a small dinner while we were in Florida with my family members who went with us, and then another small celebration our family here first weekend back in Chile. She was so spoiled by everyone the whole trip, and I just hope she can look back at the photos in the future to see how much we celebrated her 3rd birthday. Both of my children's language has exploded after being in the states for a month and a half . I believe it was the exposure to another language for such a long time period. Husband is good as always, but our trip to the states cost more than we expected and we both returned in work mode and are being more proactive than ever. Oliver has just started saying pipí when he goes pee and utoh or uffff when he poops. I need to start the potty training journey with him while he is still so young, but aware of his body. I have updated my resume again and have begun to post ads where I can to try to find more students for my private lessons. I have re found my confidence in my teaching through the students I do have and I am excited and ready to work next year. I hope some school in our city needs an English teacher because I know I'm the best one around. I've also decided for now to dedicate myself to our restaurant. Now that the babies are bigger I want to work and help my husband make the restaurant into everything that it should be. In need to be there as often as possible while being with my babies too. This summer will probably be a long one, but at least I can be With the kids during the day and work the night shift. We also have been thinking more and more about long term. I think we both just get restless pretty easily and don't want to commit to living in just one place forever so we both have begun to look into different opportunities in other parts of the world. I think it's good to open our eyes and surroundings because there's just so much out there that the world can offer. I can teach English anywhere in the world and that's just the bees knees. Because of the flooding this winter the entire desert is flowering. It's a phenomenon that only happens once a decade give or take so our little beach has been busier than usual this winter. It's September tomorrow and that means that the restaurant will start to get busier as well. The 18th is fiestas patrias or Chilean Independence Day and the country usually celebrates for the entire month. 🇨🇱

Ten things June

Florencia says super market like pooper bucket. And pechos (breasts) like lechos or a mix between leche (milk) and pecho. I've stopped nursing my little to sleep the past few nights and he is actually sleeping! I am 48 hours since the last time we've nursed and feeling good about the progress. We went three days a little while ago, but babe got sick and wanted milk and I couldn't deprive a overtired baby wanted mama cuddles. I am wanting to eat my way through my visit in the United States. I don't know if it's just me, but most of my fondest memories are based around food. Maybe it is because Chile doesn't have a restaurant scene the way that we do in the states, but I'm missing good service, good variety of beers and of course the FOOD. We are leaving next Monday, arriving on Tuesday midday, on the 4th. I want so badly to be able to go to Philly, visit with old friends, and of course see that firework show. All of the years that I lived there I worked the 4th and still haven't been! I am hoping that the kids aren't completely spent after 19 hours traveling and want to celebrate. My kids daycare is still closed because of the flooding the rain caused a month and a half ago. It is planning to reopen the day we leave for the states. The company finally decided they have a few open spots in other daycares throughout the city. This past week both Oliver and Florencia started at the other daycare. Flo has loved it. She always loved going, but now she wakes up with excitement. I'm nervous she won't want to return to hers when they do open again. At least we have a 6 week vacation maybe she will forget altogether when we get back. My stepdaughter has been last minute included in our trip, and while this has always been something that I hoped would happen the reality is starting to sink in. She's a bit sheltered and reliant on her mother and grandparents. My husband is very self sufficient and the few times she has stayed with us he gets upset with how little she knows how to do on her own. I know the responsibility will be put on me, on top of taking care of my two, and planning adventures to keep everyone happy. Realistically, I think it will be good for everyone, because we need to adjust and adapt to whatever we are doing. But I still haven't found my footing as a stepmom and I am a bit overwhelmed by the thought. My private classes have been going well. I only have two students, but I like teaching and doing them have helped me with my self confidence. I don't need the Spanish language to teach. I am hoping to get more students when we get back from vacation and spread by word of mouth. I don't want to teach adult men, because I don't want to go to a strange man's home, so I am hoping to continue working with younger students and their parents. Hubby and I (more him than me) have been working on our property. He removed all of the mud left from the floods and we planted five new trees. We're now working on a building wall to put outside our patio that we are leaving space for herb planters. Oliver has come into his own. His personality is starting to come out more than ever and he's has such a fun, sweet soul. Wherever we go he is always making everyone laugh, he is just so happy. I am really loving this age.
