Week 36/52 // Semana 36/52

This week was very nice, we went with some friends to the mountains. Just 15 kilometers from Port au Prince. Pure air, beautiful landscape, you can even see the ocean from there. (Shame on me, I did not take any landscape pictures). We went to a eco farm, where the kids rode a horse, tried to pick strawberries and pepinos (the Peruvian fruit), saw a pond with 150 tortoises and walked around and played all the time. Sebastian kept talking about the tortugas (tortoises) that live in the agua (water). He also was fascinated by the horses and animals in general. He is an animal lover. He made laugh really hard when he saw a dirty black pig and ask the pig if he was the one in toy story :)

Esta semana fue muy simpatica, fuimos con unos amigos a las montanas. Solo a 15 kilometros de Puerto Principe uno puede encontrar aire puro y hermosos paisajes. Incluso, se puede ver el oceano desde alli (Mala, mala Carla qe no tomo fotos de los paisajes). Fuimos a una granja ecologica, donde los chicos montaron caballos, trataron de recolectar fresas y pepinos (la fruta nuestra), vieron un pozo con 150 tortugas y caminaron por los alrededores y jugaron todo el tiempo. Sebastian hablaba de las tortugas que vivianen el agua. Estaba el chiqui fascinado con los caballos y con todos los animalesen general. A este enano le encantan los animales. Me hizo reir mucho cuando vimos a un chancho sucio y negro y le pregunto: Chancho, eres tu el de toy story? :)

Week 35/52 // Semana 35//52

We went to the beach yeee!! We had a great day with the kids. My friend Julia, who I met in Chad and it is now in Haiti, took us to Ouanga Beach (more and less 4 beaches after Obama Beach) in the north part of the country. It is a small beach of crystalline waters. Sebastian had a blast, he was inside the water as soon as I put his vest on. He is fearless, and was swimming in "Nemo's House" as if it was his natural element. Julita helped me a lot with him and spent a lot of time with him in the water. Auggie was a happy bug as ever, and spent a lot of time playing with my mom. After the beach we went to a play date with other babies. Sebastian was the oldest in the group but had a great time.

Nos fuimos a la playa yeee!!! Tuvimos un dia excelente con los ninos. Mi amiga Julia, a quien conoci en Chad y que ahora tambien vive en Haiti, nos llevo a Ouanga Beach (mas o menos unas 4 playas despues de la playa Obama), en el norte de Haiti. Es una playa chiquita con aguas cristalinas. Sebastian se la paso bomba, estaba ya en el agua apenas le puse su chaleco flotador. El enano no tiene miedo de estar en "la casa de Nemo", es como si estuviera en su elemento natural. Julita me ayudo un monton con el enano y se paso jugando con el en el agua. Auggie estaba contento como siempre, jugando con su mama Betty. Despues de la playa nos fuimos a una reunion de un grupo de bebes. Sebastian era el mas viejo, pero igual se la paso muy bien.

Week 34/52 //Semana 34/52

Jason left for Chad on Monday, my mom arrived to Haiti on Monday, Sebastian started school on Monday. Sooo many changes. Having my mom here has been a blessing, she is helping a lot, I do not know how I will do it without her these 6 weeks.. The kids are having fun, but Sebas is acting a little bit more jealous that normal with Auggie. I have the feeling it is because his daddy is not here.

Jason se fue el lunes, Mama Betty llego el lunes, Sebastian comenzo el colegio el lunes. Un monton de cambios. Tener a mi mama conmigo es una bendicion, ella me esta ayudando muchisimo. No se que haria sola estas 6 semanas. Los chicos estan bien aunque Sebastian esta siendo un poco mas celoso de lo habitual con uggie. Creo que es prque su papa no esta.

Mi chiqui esta creciendo muy rapido. Aqui lo tienen bien peinadito y lavadito. Ya tiene cara de grande :(

Mi little Auggie is growing very fast. Here he is clean and with his hair combed. He has a grown up face :(

Asi se recibieron mis chicos / This is how the boys greeted each other

I forgot to include this picture in the previous entry. The boys embraced each other in such a loving hug, that made this crazy mommy cry. Auggie was following Seba for a while pulling him from his clothes. Of course, after 10 minutes everything was back to normal and Sebastian was pushing Auggie to the floor :) The delights of brotherhood!!

Me olvide de incluir esta foto en la entrada anterior. Los chicos se dieron un abrazo tan amoroso cuando se volvieron a ver, que hicieron que esta mamacita se pusiera a llorar de la emocion. Auggie seguia a Seba jalandolo del polo a todo lado. Por supuesto despues de 10 minutos todo volvio a la normalidad y Sebastian andaba empujando a Auggie al suelo. Las delicias de la hermanitud!!!
