Argentine glory!

Well folks, this has been our biggest adventure yet (aside from the birth of Sabiboy, of course). Tonight (1/2/7) is our last night after 16 days visiting Abuelos y Tia Ro in Argentina. We spent our first few days relaxing, then off to the AWESOME beach town of Carilo. We had 5 fantastic days in Carilo, including Christmas, before heading back to Bs. As. Carilo is a beautiful little resort town on the ocean and in the middle of the woods as well. Imagine Northern Michigan with the Atlantic Ocean and parrots. Very cool. We even saw a shark swimming when walking along the beach one morning. YIKES! Just in time for Christmas, Sabi broke out his right upper front tooth. NerdMom spent all Christmas day singing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 Front Teeth". It looks like it won't be long before we see the other.

In Buenos Aires, we spent lots and lots of time with the family. It was HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT, today the heat index was 107 and there is NO air conditioning! Poor Sabiboy was not a huge fan of this heat but for the most part he did well. We visited the Bs As zoo and Tia Ro at work. We tried to go to daddy's old office but they were closed for the holidays. We took lots of walks, went to a BBQ of daddy's old childhood friends and in general saw the sights. Lots of families buy illegal fireworks for New Year's Eve here (it's frightening...but beautiful...what they set off from their back yards here!). We were a bit worried our son wouldn't be able to sleep but he was quite a trooper. We closed the windows, turned on 2 fans and Baby Mozart and he slept right through a LOUD New Year's celebration!

It was a nice vacation but we miss Puppy and Miss Sarah and all of our Michigan and Philadelphia friends. And, this HEAT...it might be nice to have some chill for a change! :)
