Children's Holiday Party

After a scary week of being ill with a high fever, Jenna is back to her active, happy self. She had a low fever and minor cough but when her temp spiked to 104.4 last Saturday, we immediately called the health unit at the Embassy and got her checked out. Thankfully the amoxicillin and baby Tylenol (every 4 hours) kicked whatever she had.
Today, we attended the Children's Holiday Party at the Ambassadors residence and the kids had a great time. There was a train ride, bouncy castle, pizza, ice cream and the best part - Santa and Mrs. Claus. Jenna was not exactly happy sitting on Santa's lap and did not want to have anything to do with Mrs. Claus either. However, Santa overlooked all that and gave her a little stuffed animal wearing a santa hat :) She also got to sit in Amb Llorens lap too!

We are packing today and heading to Colorado tomorrow. We so look forward to spending time with Ken's family in Colorado Springs and my family in Denver. I actually can't wait to get Jenna out in the snow and hopefully on a sled!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Our little Mobile Unit

Well, Jenna officially did what all kids do when they start moving around - break stuff. Yesterday, I was trying to get the laundry folded and as soon as I finished, Jenna comes over and starts taking stuff and throwing it out of the basket. I redirected her to play with this new musical book she got but that did not work. She crawled over the step into the dining area and crawled near our shelving unit that displays our china and crystal. Before I could get half around the table, Jenna pulled a crystal platter off the shelf and when it hit the tile floor, chards of glass went everywhere. I was so afraid she was cut, thankfully she did not have a scratch on her. She is in to everything! We had to rearrange our living room to block her from crawling up the steps. It is not the best set-up but we think it will work for the time being.

Despite some broken crystal we had a great weekend. We went back to the cabins an hour away from Tegus. On Saturday we hiked 4 hours at La Tigra National Park and got to see the waterfall everyone spoke about it. It was great! And, so nice to be out in the fresh air. Jenna was the perfect little hiker and did so well in her pack.
