This Semester...

HER: Finally back!!! Hopefully this time we will be able to sit and keep up with narrating the latest from us in Jacksonville.



Like everyone, life has been pretty busy for us. Trying to fill in fun activities in between of our busy schedules.



Sebastian started going to a new school.

After returning from Peru, we took the decision of finding what was best for Sebastian's interests and education.

Being born late September, it was known to us by Florida Legislature that he would be losing the school year, so it became a bit difficult for us to find a place where he would feel encourage to keep learning. Notorious change with language expression, behaviour, interests and developed skills. Sebastian at 4 was reading, had become bilingual, had developed deep interest in science and knew a few concepts like precipitation, evaporation and had become a very enthusiastic learner. We picked a private Jewish school (http://www.jcajax.edu/), two months into the school year, I can honestly say it has been such a great choice. He absolutely loves his teacher and she has done such a fine job in keeping the kids interested by stimulating them with a number of fun and interesting activities. About a month ago, they brought an incubator to the school and kept a few eggs. The kids were counting down the days for the eggs to hatch with much excitement. Sebastian was thrilled that the eggs were probably going to start hatching a couple of days before his birthday was thinking double calculations daily. Finally the day came and he start announcing the birth of the chicks and that is all he talked about at home. They also keep a garden with organic vegetables and herbs, which he loves to talk about also.

Daily prayers at the table during dinner... Sebastian in many occasions has volunteered to say the blessing. Recently we noticed he started praying in Hebrew and English.

We were lucky to find a safe and fun environment.

Weekly routines like Monday or Tuesday nights at chick-fil-a, book store, Starbucks, baking at home.



Duke and Dexter have adapted very well to our family =). We are so lucky they are so awesome and so much fun too !!!. I am thrilled and extremely joyous we have incorporated new fun family activities... We take them for walks to the beach, doggy parks (which they have absolutely love to play at, obstacle courses, freedom to run and water! THEY LOVE THE WATER! they are so funny, I just enjoy watching them play. It is incredible how safe I feel during my late-night walks around the neighborhood and they are just puppies! I am very proud to say I am also fighting my fear against bigger dogs.



Work at Bistro Aix is just so much fun. I absolutely love what I do everyday. It has been busy too. We have recruited a whole new line crew after struggling with constant changes I think we finally have a solid group of team players that are willing and that is exciting to announce.

This week we are starting a new menu as well. New sexy dishes coming from the kitchen!.



Now that we are balancing the activities and getting some sort of routine, I am planning to squeeze in some yoga to my Monday nights. I can't wait!



Frank's school is going very well. He has been occupied working on an ALWR paper and putting his resume together.

I am very excited for him. He really seems to be enjoying this semester very much.

There are a couple of classes that much of his interest and I am thrill to hear that.



Sebastian and I are very proud of him for his imput and taught work he puts towards it =).

TE AMAMOS!
