• Gian Daniel

  We made it back from Mexico in record time.  The longest time ever!!!  Our bus ride is generally around 7 hours. Sometimes a bit more if the border is busy.  This return trip took 13 1/2 hours!  We were stuck at the border for 6 1/2 hours waiting to get to the check point. I’ll tell you; sleeping on a bus is no fun and definitely not refreshing.  We are fortunate to have been able to leave on an earlier bus than we originally planned.  We left at 9:00 at night and got home at 11:30 the next morning.  But, oh, the trip was so worth it.  Here our new addition.

  

  Gian is an peaceful, alert baby.  He was happy to look at us and try to communicate.  He naturally fell into a three-hour eating schedule, much to my amazement!  I had forgotten how tiny a newborn can be.

  

  He will be blessed with two grandfathers and three grandmothers.  I am his mother’s godmother, but to him and his brother, I am Grammy along with his Nanna and his Abuelita.  He is a blessed little boy to be welcomed into such a loving family!

  Edit:  His name is pronounced “zhee-AHN”
