Another Week

So another week has come and gone, and it's marked off the calendar.  That's the most notable part of this week, it's over, and only 1 1/2 more to go!  We pretty much just rested from the eventful Christmas week we had with Chad's parents.  Here's what we did do though.  Chad took me to this hacienda where DIF hosted an organization wide work party.  Guanajuato was founded as a silver mining town.  Ex Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera belonged to a man that got rich off of the silver mines apparently by exploiting the workers and whatnot.  We didn't tour the house, just the gardens.  Here's a small taste of the acres upon acres of beauty to be found here.  17 gardens in total each with different names and themes.  It was nice and relaxing just wandering through such beautifully groomed paths and rooms.

Beyond that, there's also the every day.  Everett's been cutting 4 teeth.  He's been insanely grouchy.  But we later found out that he had another ear infection.  He had one as a baby, we come to Mexico, and boom he gets two!  Oh well, at least we found out and were able to take care of it - another miracle.  I'm so glad you don't need a prescription here!  He's feeling much better now!!  It's always so amazing how much better life is with healthy kids.  

In other news, we went to San Miguel again this Monday.  On the bus ride home, we lost Everett's last pacifier.  With him being sick, he hadn't been sleeping well and going to San Miguel... the kids were exhausted!  So it was a rough night.   But he's slept 3 times now with out it!  After that first night, it's gone really well.  We ended up finding another one, but I refuse to go back.  I'd been dreading that first night forever, so I'm very excited to be past it and weaning  him from it.  I'm sick of trying to keep up with them, keep them clean, and buying a gazillion of them.  Anyway, very exciting to me.
