Another day we spent at home.While working in my office, I felt a small splash on me and looked up. The ceiling is leaking. I’m guessing it’s from a leaky pipe. Thankful that I’m only renting. Bonnie said the kids did great at school. We ordered out from a restaurant we had been wanting toContinue reading “Day 118”

Today is Monday, we woke up earlier today to start the kids with their school work sooner. Bonnie made french toast, and I skipped breakfast like I have for the past few years. It’s too early to eat at 7am for me. I can’t really eat until 9am or 10am. When Bonnie lived in SpainContinue reading “Day 117”

Happy Mother’s Day. Today I woke up and made my wife her favorite breakfast, eggs Benedict. Making hollandaise sauce wasn’t as hard as it was before. I still find it disgusting. After breakfast, we hung out and played with the kids most of the day. After dinner we went on a very nice walk inContinue reading “Day 116”

Today is our youngest child’s birthday. He turns 5 years old today. He has been talking about his birthday for the past few weeks. Sadly we had to remind him that we could not go to the water park today. We told him every day for the last couple weeks, but it didn’t sink inContinue reading “Day 115”

Today is Friday. It rained most of the day. I’ll post a video of it at the end. For lunch my oldest son ate pickles right out of the jar. And Bonnie took most of the kids for a walk in the rain to pick up a cake for our youngest birthday on Day 115.Continue reading “Day 114”

We stayed in all day today. Bonnie went on a couple errands in the morning, and I supervised my children going on google classroom to participate in their classes. Now picture me trying to connect my children into Spanish speaking classrooms under google passwords I was ignorant of, while at the same time, policing theContinue reading “Day 113”

Today the kids learned about the battle of Puebla, unlike America who celebrates Cinco de Mayo, they really don’t care too much about it here. The kids were especially challenging today with school, but I am happy to report we still have four children. Lately these blog posts have been about what we ate duringContinue reading “Day 112”

Today Bonnie did some schooling with the kids while I worked almost all day. I am starting to miss appearing in court almost. Our oldest son is a picky eater but he loves Indian food. So we tried very hard to make tandoori chicken and tiki masala sauce. They don’t have the right ingredients atContinue reading “Day 111”

Today we took another field trip. It wasn’t as thrilling as the field trip we took to the city center. We were planning to go to a neighboring town, San Miguel de Allende. Instead, we drove to Valenciana. Valenciana is a residential district of the city we are living in. It is at the topContinue reading “Day 110”

Today we made smoothies for breakfast. We had leftovers for lunch, and leftovers for dinner. I think I blog about food because it’s the most interesting part of our day. Aside from that, there has been some drama. Yesterday we heard what sounded like a dog whimpering all evening and night. The whimpering went onContinue reading “Day 109”
