caracas!

nicolas was an angel on the plane. really. he slept and was fine considering we ended up with a 9 hour layover in Atlanta ( thanks Delta!) the damn pilot showed up 3 hours late.

but things are nice and warm here - blue sky and green tropical plants
we are off to the beach tomorrow and will stay there for 5 days or so. i will try to post photos later.

i have taken some fine long naps and feel rested (finally).we have eaten well and have had lots of attention from all the venezuelans.

nicolas is surrounded by women all the time and he loves it

more later

ps - my server went down and i lost some photos

Winter ills + peace

Nicolas with his new sweater made by grandma :-)

These past few weeks have been filled with Christmas rushing to get all things done and prepare for our holiday. Nicolas and Me and Martha have been stricken with the dreaded stomach bug which wiped out the lost continent of Atlantis (kidding it just wiped us out - but man it could've wiped out Atlantis ok?)

ugh and ugh. I've been inhaling gatorade to rehydrate.


Nicolas is standing on all things immobile and some that are mobile (to his surprise) - some bumps here and there. All normal we suppose but tough to see. He has a cool habit of walking a kitchen chair around the kitchen - and if i weren't so sick and overworked i would've posted a video clip. so there. maybe i will soon. by then he could be walking on his own for all i know.

peace be with you all :-)

eric + martha + nicolas
