Argentina bound

Tomorrow we fly out of Louisville to head toward Buenos Aires. We will arrive there early Friday morning. We sooo look forward to seeing Laura, Mark Xavier and Javier as well as friends and colleagues. We are ready to be in familiar places and speak Spanish. I've been speaking Spanish here when it should have been English, I suppose my brain is already there! It will be wonderful to see how much little MX has grown and just be able to interact with him in person.

We had a good Easter Sunday as Clayton's family were able to come. Kimberly and Craig arrived on Friday evening so we enjoyed time with them. Andy, our nephew who teaches school in Japan, arrived in Kentucky very late on Friday night. His parents picked him up at the Louisville airport so we didn't see him until Sunday. Kimberly and Craig took us out to dinner on Saturday to celebrate Clayton's birthday early (he will be 62 on April 21 while we are in Buenos Aires). That was fun.

Clayton's sister, Pat, brother-in-law Eddy and nephew Andy came with Carrie, Clayton's mom. David arrived via motorcycle since his wife was visiting her folks. It was wonderful to have family for our first big dinner celebration in our new home. We had the typical Easter dinner and enjoyed being together as we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord.

It has been so thrilling to get settled into our new home and get our furniture and all in place. There are still pictures to be hung and some other purchases to be made but at least we are pretty well settled in. It is a quiet and peaceful neighborhood with good neighbors. We are far enough away from a major street to feel more secluded but close to shopping and all other things. We have some rabbits that hop around and enjoy the many different birds. Before this really cold spell there were some blooming trees and bushes plus lots of daffodils and tulips.
