Christian "helping" daddy

Bryan put the grill together yesterday and of course, Christian had to help. The instructions read "with the help of a friend turn the grill frame over being careful not to put too much strain on the legs". Christian is very mindfull of that as he sits on the frame directly. Watching him imitate Bryan was very cute though.

Friends

This is a pic of me and a couple of my good friends Kim is the blonde and Liza is the brunette. We are at a Marine Happy Hour. Kim is from Texas also and she has three boys. Liza's husband is in Iraq and she has three kids also.

Socialite debut

There it is, ladies and gents...my socialite debut. Bryan didn't make it this time, but I'm sure there will be other opportunities. The key is to hang out with important ppl. They guy with the blue tie in my picture was the main attraction and the rest of us rode his coattails.

Ambassador's party

We just got back from a party at the ambassador's. There was lots of press and lots of important Hondurans. The two guys that are running for president here and congresspeople and stuff. Mind you, most of the Americans, especially the wives, had no idea who these ppl were, even the presidential hopefuls, but by being in close proximity to them I think we might make it into the newspaper. Exciting! I'll take a photo of it and post it if we do.

Walking

About 5 women including me try to make it out to the walking track "Villa Olympica" 3 times a week or so. It is one of the few places in town where you can run or walk, in my case, outdoors safely. We think it might be there training facility for their olympians too, but aren't sure about that. Yikes, I was by far the whitest person there. We always get "gringa" comments.

Haircut

I took Christian to get a haircut at a Peluqueria Infantil (kids barber shop) a couple days ago. They actually have one here with fun cars and everything. My incredibly wonderful description in spanish of "short on the sides and use the scissors on top" actually produced a cute haircut and it cost me a whopping $3.50. He was a champ!

Sunset

I was walking around the house the other day and this sunset caught my attention out the window so I went to the balcony off my bedroom and took a picture. Its the only one without bars.
