I celebrated my birthday on Wednesday. It was a good day. I went with some students to Starbucks (for a class), and they got me a cake. I spent a lot of the day working, and then at night, we went over to some missionary friends’ house for dinner.
Overall, it was a great day. Oh…and I got an iphone. It’s a 1st generation, but it was a great price. Basically, I’m going to be able to sell my old phone and make up most of the difference with that. I have such a great wife that would let me get it despite all the nagging I had been doing about wanting one.
The best gift I got for my birthday, though, was the card that Nathan made me. He painted Mickey Mouse on some construction paper, traced his hand print, and wrote the first three letters of his name. I loved it! He also cut out a heart and taped it onto the card. I love that kid.
Last night, we spent some time with Jon and Nicolle. It was Jon’s birthday on Wednesday, too, so we celebrated both of our birthdays last night, too.
I got back from my grandmother’s funeral on Monday night. Tuesday we packed all of our stuff up so we could drive to Miami on Wednesday. On the way, we stopped in and saw some of our family (my cousin just had a baby).
Then we stayed in a hotel on Wednesday night and flew out on Thursday morning. We arrive in Mexico City on Thursday afternoon just in time to attend a Mexican Independence Day celebration at the seminary.
On Friday, I met my new youth ministry students and had a meeting with Huberto for 3 hours.
Just wanted to write a quick update saying that we are in Mexico City safely. We just haven’t had internet at the house. I will update everyone as soon as I can get a few spare moments.
They say that babies who are born breech have trouble with their hips because of the pressure placed on them before birth.
Since Benjamin was born breech, the doctors wanted to do an ultrasound on his hips when he turned 6 weeks old. So we went for today.
We went to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa. The results came back negative. Everything is normal. Thank God that nothing was wrong. We didn’t even see the doctor after they did the ultrasound because everything was fine.
So, we went to International Plaza as a family since we were already down that way. Nathan got to play at the Looney Toons park (see the video below), I got to take my first ever trip to an Apple Store (although I didn’t spend as much time there as I would have liked), and we all got to share a delicious cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory.
Overall, it was a great family day despite the stress of having to go to the hospital for the test. Thanks for praying for us (follow our PoulettePrayer twitter stream.)
