Book Worm

Rowan loves to read! He'll bring you a book, turn around, sit in your lap and let you read him as many as you'd like. We've also discovered that he knows a lot of words. He'll point to several things in his books like, juice, cow, ball (and pelota), baby, strawberry, banana, tomato, hat, eyes and tons of others. But wait, I'm not sure I'm getting my point across, he is obsessed with reading so much that he takes his books outside to read. In his spare time, when he is not reading, our boy is also learning Spanish. He knows, hola and pelota. If someone says, "Hola, bebe.", he'll wave at them.

We went to El Mercado a Chapingo last Saturday. There are tons of vendors selling fruits and veggies, meats, toys, garage sale quality clothing, etc... Look at these yummy chickens with heads and no refrigeration.
We're sticking with the fruits and veggies for now, except that chorizo we couldn't resist.

We have new wheels. Sorry VW but the Nissan is free. We got the ride yesterday and with the help of someone who knew someone, Esten got a driver's license. It's official we're mobile. We ventured out to Wal-Mart last night since it's the only place we knew for sure how to get to. But we have plans to try to get to a health foods store, back to Chapingo, and to the pyramids in the next week.

I love our little clothes line setup so much that I just had to show you a view from our tiny balcony. This is Ro and Esten on the balcony that overlooks the front courtyard.

This is where we hang our clothes to dry. The doorway in the far right corner of our wall is the maids room where the washing machine is and where Socorro keeps all of her cleaning supplies. She also changes her clothes in there. She comes well dressed and changes before she cleans.

The Masons and Mexico seem to be getting along just fine for now.
