Last skiing of the season!

Image
Yesterday we went to La Clusaz again for the last skiing of the season.  Since Sebas did so well with his first lesson and Gabi is doing so well overall we decided to only have Sebas take lessons and everyone else ski as a family. This was my first time skiing since Thanksgiving of 2010 because in Thanksgiving 2011 I got the flu on the days I was scheduled to go skiing. So as you can see in the video I'm basically back to basics and look way worse than my kids do!  Gotta love it when your kids pick up things so much faster than you do.  Ah well. This week is my last week at P&G and next week the kids are off for Spring Break so we're taking another once in a lifetime trip to Vienna/Prague/Budapest.

Sebas' first time skiing!

This weekend we took Sebas for his first skiing lesson.  We weren't quite sure what to expect but it seems that he absolutely loved it and did pretty well with it.  So much so that we're thinking about going next weekend.  Gotta take advantage of the snow as much as we can before we possibly get shipped back to America.  :)   Here's a little video clip of him during his first lesson.  After his lesson he was so hungry he ate a whole Snickers bar (which he'd never tried before) in like three bites. Anyway, since he did so well I promised that if we go next weekend I would ski too so that the four of us would actually ski.  Here's hoping I don't break anything!

More jet setting insanity

On Friday we headed down from Cincinnati to San Juan to go to Jose's buddy's wedding in Dorado, PR on Saturday.  I keep telling people that when we lived in Cincinnati we would've NEVER made the long trip from Cincinnati to Puerto Rico just for a weekend.  But now living in Europe it puts everything into perspective, an 8 hour trip to Puerto Rico doesn't seem long at all!  While the weather forecast was supposed to be rainy and dreary, our friends got super lucky as they got an absolutely beautiful day!  Sunny but not too hot, beautiful sunset and an incredibly simple yet beautiful setting.  My highlights for the weekend were: A little bit of time in the beach/pool  A little bit of time with abuela from Peru   An incredibly beautiful wedding ceremony   Getting to catch up with old friends (barely but still enough time to see what they're up to!)    Incredible food (not pictured!), and Finding this graduation gift from my Gr

So Jose's been in Cincinnati quite a bit since the beginning of the year.  After missing the kids (and the kids missing him) for so long we decide to take a trip to Cincinnati to come visit him.  We're having a great time going to the places they loved to eat, going to Target, getting manis/pedis, seeing old friends, etc.  We're staying at friends' which has been great too because it's like a kids' birthday party every day (and it's not my house ha ha!). Best part was that Jose's brother and father came to visit us for one night this weekend and we were able to have the four cousins together for the first time.  A photo shoot ensued, while not all the pictures came out as we'd hoped it was great to have memories like these...
