We made it to Mexico yesterday and are now settling in for a month of family time here. I ate tamales for breakfast and remain convinced there is no more perfect food. Pablo and Santi are playing in the jardin with Dada after a very exciting reunion in the airport. Luva, my suegra (mother-in-law) is recovering after 6 weeks living with us and chasing after her grandchildren in DC. All of you who still think Mexico is really hot can envy the cool spring-like weather I'm enjoying while Washington swelters. If for no other reason, we may decide to make summers in Mexico an annual part of our lives simply to escape the growing heat in DC. Hmm, climate change does bring its ironies, huh.
I'm also slowly realizing that I really have left my job and am going back to school in the fall. (Read my blogpost about this transition here.) Of course there will be plenty to comment on all that in good time, but for now, I'm just relishing in the fact that my email intake just dropped by 70% and no one needs me to be anywhere anytime soon. Well...except my children, that is. Who are very good at making me feel needed.

Glad y'all made it safely and are enjoying family time in Mexico! The pictures of the market remind me of my daily trips when I was there with you for a week when Pablo was born.:) And I agree about heading south for the summer - the weather in Jamaica was beautiful and much cooler than this nasty humid heat too!
Love you!
