Blue skies...finally!

The rain has finally stopped! Today is the first time I have seen blue skies in a looong time. Actually, it didn't rain yesterday, so the Ministry of Education reversed their decision to cancel school and we ended up going. Thursday night, we had a strong tremor (5.6 on the Richter scale), which shot Elvis up from bed to go running to Suzy's room. Since I have never personally experienced a real earthquake, it is still a bit exhilerating for me to feel a tremor. However, for Elvis, who has lived through several devastating earthquakes, they are always a little bit traumatic. However, one good thing from the tremor is that usually the weather changes after a big one, and this was true for this tremor. Today there is a nice (almost fall-like) breeze and it's a bit cooler. Made for a lovely long walk with Suzy this morning!

Suzy has had a big week...turning 10 months has brought along all kinds of new exciting things! First of all, she cut her 3rd tooth yesterday. She now has two bottom teeth and a top one is now peeping through! And yesterday, she got her Halloween costume. Can't wait to put it on her =) She also learned how to climb the stairs yesterday by herself. Uh oh!! Guess we better figure out getting a gate for the staircase asap! Also this week she ate her very first pupusa!! Dinora made one for her and she ate the whole thing. Loved it! Here she is reaching for it:
I'm having trouble loading the video of her first pupusa experience, but i'll keep working on it!
