Can I get much bigger?

Isabelle is growing at a crazy rate these days. She is now rapidly approaching my ribs and yesterday, I think she was stretching to see if she could push them out of the way. My ribs were a little sore, but I think it might be only the beginning. Gabe pretty much says "Wow your so big" every time he looks at me lately. I know to take it as a compliment though, and I am always happy knowing that she is growing as she should. As you can see Gabe enjoys taking pictures of my belly and of course he didn't want to be left out either. I think I'm winning in the belly growth contest.

A little behind

Well these pictures are from about a month ago, but I still wanted to share. Some of them are from our last trip to Velingrad and the ones with the ladies cooking are from Berkovitza. One of the Roma women taught us how to make the traditional Bulgarian pastry "Bonitza". Yum Yum.

Two women teaching us about Bonitza, our teammates Donna and Michelle, and our language teacher, Mariya, and obviously me.

Learning to make Bonitza.

Gabe giving his first message in Bulgarian. He did great. This is the church in Berkovitza.

Anybody else gotta go?

Gabe's Surgery

Yep, so Gabe finally had his ACL surgery. Tomorrow marks two weeks since his operation. He is doing well and getting stronger everyday, but still has a ways to go on crutches and with a large brace. If all continues well though, he should be in shape for wrestling with Isabelle in plenty of time.
