These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of things to do. Here’s a recap (and not in order): Terrez took a small group of teenage boys and members of a visiting US group into the town to give away clothes. He said people were everywhere trying to get stuff. I’ve been substitute teaching high school physics, which is something I never took in high school or college. Luckily for me it was the same topics we covered in chemistry. I now help direct the marching band and color guard. I had a crash course in twirling flags only the day before I had to teach it to the girls. Since we are the school government advisors, we were super busy last week for our first fundraiser. We sold baleadas (bean-filled tortillas), cinnamon rolls, drinks and icees. The girls and I had to start making all the tortillas at 5:30am. Despite all the work I enjoyed it. I now know how to make an inexpensive, authentic Honduran meal. Terrez has been craving it for days now. We’ve also been running around town trying to gather all the necessary paperwork for residency. Since we have the baby it’s much harder to travel around, so we don’t want to have to worry about hauling him & luggage on long bus rides just to leave for a few days to renew our passports, especially since it’s been more dangerous to travel lately.
Jeremiah’s been growing so much. Today is his six month birthday :) He has his checkup tomorrow, so we'll see how much he weighs. As far as milestones & development, he can sit up pretty well by himself. He still topples over sometimes when he reaches for things, but he can handle his own. We started corn a few days ago, but he doesn’t like it. Once he gets used to it, we’ll move on to carrots. On another note, he’s just getting over a cold that he has had for a few days. Since he gets congested at night, he’s been waking up a few times. After regaining my restful nights, it’s so hard to go back to getting up in the middle of the night. I can’t wait for the cold to have fully passed.
