In A Nutshell....

Here’s what we’ve been up to….

Houston – We Have a Tooth!
I’ve been procrastinating. I know. It’s been a while since I last wrote – too much going on. Since our return to Mexico from my sister’s wedding back in April, Cristian finally got some pearly whites. And I don’t just mean one. We’re talking 4 came out in one shot, my little trooper. He’s oh so proud of his new chompers, and to show us just how much, he makes sure to bite us daily leaving teeny marks on my cheeks, chin and arms!

Click This
Um. Can I please rewind. I was the anxious mom, pushing my baby to learn to crawl. Forcing his little arms to hold his weight as he pushes forward with his legs. Encouraging him to finally make his way across the room and develop a sense of independence. Freedom? YA. OK. REWIND. Wish the movie Click was in fact a reality. The kid is a torpedo. His name ought to be Speedy Gonzalez. He zooms past us. Up the stairs! Down the stairs! Chasing the dogs! I can’t even lie down for a second now to watch an old episode of Ally McBeal (our satellite went down, we’re stuck with Sky TV – Mexican satellite…anyone seen an old episode of Miami Vice lately?)

English Speakers In Action?
Thanks to my ‘American Friends’ with babies, my time has been going by pretty quickly. Between attending weekly Gymboree classes together, to Friday morning play groups, C’s social schedule is quite full.

Hot Stuff
The weather’s been stifling. I feel like my insides are being stir fried every time I step foot outside. But, then again, Torontonians are apparently feeling it too these past few weeks. Good luck – I’m sure the humidity is doing wonders for your skin, hair and makeup (ladies). At least it’s dry heat down here.

Perri Family Vacation
We did our first ‘Family Road Trip’ last month. We drove to San Diego, Santa Monica, LA, Vegas and Phoenix. Then we flew to Acapulco for 2 weeks for a little relaxing fun in the sun. (See pics below)

  1. Maryann and Vince,

    It's been a long time since i've seen you both and I hope you don't mind Ally passing this website on to me. I can't believe how much your little guy is growing - a gorgeous baby boy. I hope to see you both one day again but in the meantime lots of love and happiness passed on to you.

    Love always,

    Brenda Martin :)
