Reflection... I'm sitting here thinking how much transition Andrés is going through right now. He's never had a Christmas with commercialism at the forefront. He's eating "crazy" food, hearing new words all day long, different smells, and unique sights...it's amazing how well he's doing with the changes. I'm almost a little scared...it's been too easy. (Knock on wood!) The biggest issue thus far was a conversation on the concept of gratitude and the proper etiquette of opening up a gift. If he's never had gifts to open then I guess this explains why he needs a little lesson!

We've been on the low this holiday season. Spending time at home and not running around. It's nice. He seems content, too! It works for me!

Everyone passes through bad moments, I'm sure we'll have some soon enough. The thing to remember is that this time will proves how resilient , strong, and tough Andrés is inside! He's a good boy. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything! It's amazing where life takes you. A year ago I'd never paint this picture! Anyway... It's pretty "cool" to know that this is where I'm supposed to be in life. It's just "right".
