The Zoe Zoo

I know it's been a while, but I've been thinking about what to write and nothing really comes to mind. I guess I feel like we're just waiting to get to Santiago. I've been in contact with folks on the ground there, and everyone says it's a great city to live in. We even applied for our diplomatic passports (the black ones that say "Diplomat" across the top - even Zoe gets one!), so we're excited to get there and get settled in! Right now, Jeff is in Spanish every day, brushing up and preparing for his job in Chile. He's enjoying that a lot.

Zoe and I have play dates and field trips, go to playgroups, and she's also doing physical therapy for working on walking. (She just needed a boost. Who doesn't, right?) She has several little friends, and we're so glad that she's flourishing. She's talking more and more every day, but her big specialty at the moment is animal sounds. I posted a video on Facebook today of her repertoire, so feel free to check it out.

The weather is getting warmer, and I can see the first buds of cherry blossom trees. Come on, spring!
