El arco iris y los burros.

Rowan can climb into his stroller now. And that's what he does when he wants us/me to take him on a walk. After dinner the other night he did just that, climbed in and started buckling himself while yelling, "Walk." On this walk we went left out of our gate instead of right, partially because right is uphill and partially because we never go that way. Look what we found.



The picture really does no justice to the sight but it was a full rainbow. One end was in the village on the next mountain, San Miguel Tlaixpan and the other end came all the way to our village. It's been a really long time since I've seen a full rainbow. And then we found these guys resting after a long day of work, pulling a plow. The field they work is behind the brick wall.








You just never know what you might stumble upon when venture out beyond your walled paradise.

Evening in our Garden

In Mexico they call a yard, a garden. Have I mentioned we have a beautiful yard? Last week we were outside playing in our garden and after Esten and I both did some pull ups on our bar, Rowan wanted to try. Much to our surprise he could hang on the bar all by himself. He's strong. This picture didn't capture him all alone on the bar but notice Esten is not holding him.
And then he just wanted the camera and wouldn't hang anymore for a better photo op. But this one is cute.

This video needs a little explanation/translation. Rowan loves giving the dogs treats. Ian can sometimes snatch them from him and "bite" him. He doesn't bite hard but it happens. Rowan does NOT like this so he will mostly throw Ian's treats. Before he throws them, he "counts." He can say, two so he substitutes that number for all numbers. Pablo is small and Rowan puts Pablo's treat directly in his mouth. For anyone watching who doesn't know any Spanish, mas means more. It is probably the word that Rowan uses most often. This video is of Rowan giving the dogs treats. Enjoy!
