No more snoring!

Santi had his tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday.  Poor little guy.  He had suffered from sleep apnea for most of his life, though we didn't even know it until last week.  He did very well in the surgery and I got to be there and hold him as he began waking up.  I can't even put into words the relief I felt holding him in the recovery room and knowing that he was o.k.  I am so thankful that we could have things done so quickly.  He is recovering very well.  He has been eating and drinking almost normally and hasn't really complained about pain.  He is having to learn to breathe through his nose.  The doctor said it is a wonder he was able to breathe before, his tonsils were huge!  Again, I am so thankful....beyond words.

Balloons!

Alex and Santi launching their balloons

Queridos Reyes Magos...


This morning, Alex and Santi let their helium balloons up in the air with their letters to the Three Wise Men (Reyes Magos).   It's like a letter to Santa asking for a bike or toy, etc. Kids release the balloon attached to the letter and watch them float away.  Tomorrow is the day when children wait for the Reyes Magos to bring them presents.  It's like Christmas all over again but only for children.
