GOODBYE GENERAL

In a country like Chile, with our history, it's quite difficult to see people giving tribute to a person who wears a uniform, most of all if the weather is too bad. Two nights ago, the body of General Josè Alejandro Bernales, came back from Panamà. It was midnight, and cold to death. People went out to say goodbye. I never thought I'd see chilean people showing respect for a carabinero. But I have to say this one was different. Some time ago, I think maybe 2 years ago, I remember telling my husband "this one is different, he said some very important and true things today while he was being interviewed". Now I know I wasn't the only one to notice that.

HERE COMES...RODRIGO!

There was the doctor, and suddenly he said "there...there's Rambo!" and Jano asked " what do you mean by 'Rambo'?" and the doctor again "I mean Rambo...(and he pointed this little thing) that Rambo" then I said "is it a boy?" "of course it's a boy! don't you see the 'weapon'?". Then the doctor wished us well, and we started to think of the best way of telling the rest of the family the news.

Now, almost everybody knows and they are all happy, even Valentina is already calling him Rodrigo. Well, I must say it was the feeling Jano always had, since day 1. Even before watching the first ultrasound he said he was almost sure it was a boy. The name? well, lots of meanings...for us. My brother, our loving and unforgettable friend Chavita, the Cid Rodrigo Dìaz de Vivar and of course Rodrigo Mendoza that incredible character from The Mission performed by Robert de Niro. His middle name? Alfonso, my grandpa-my dad's dad.

Anyhow...here comes Rodrigo Alfonso!

OUR ANNIVERSARY

It's been ten years since Alejandro and I got married. 10 years! who would have thought. Now here we are, with a daughter and another one on the way. Nobody can say being married is easy, of course it's not, and all those who say so are lying. I remember before the wedding I said I thought the most difficult thing would be to get used to sleep with somebody else. My mistake. It was the easiest, so easy that now if Alejandro is not in bed with

me I can't sleep, and as far as I know it

happens the same to him. I wanted to celebrate this day having a party or something but you know, things are different now, I'm pregnant and I haven't feel well, hahaha but I think we will celebrate on our own way. I just want to say now thank you Jano for ten great and happy years. I love you.

THE VOLCANO

Between the tragedy and the beauty of nature. I do not want to discuss that it's in fact a tragedy that a volcano makes erupt, most of all when there's a town next to it. But when you see tha power of nature and you get speechless because of the beauty it brings, then you feel less than an ant. We have all seen the news about the Chaitèn Volcano. It is sad to see what's happening there. Fortunatelly people are safe now. But, let's forget for a minute about that horrible part and let's be delighted with these images. They were sent to a friend of ours, by his girlfriend. I don't know if they were taken by her, or she just found them. What I know is they haven't been retouched. Let's enjoy watching the power of nature.

WILL IT BE A BOY OR A GIRL?

Oh God. Only a week from now. You know it's hard, you feel anxious. I think I feel more anxiety about the sex of the baby than Jano. He says although he has a feeling about it he is ready for a boy or a girl. Me too, but I want to know if it's a boy or a girl just to talk to her/him and say her/his name. Well, next week we'll know. What do you think?

P.S. Happy birthday mum.
Oh God! I look like my dad in this picture!

ON MOTHER'S DAY

Years ago, Alejandro and I decided to spend some holidays with both families. We do it on Christmas and Mother's day. So yesterday we invited our mums to spend the day with us, there were also, my brother and brother in law (Jano's brother). My sister couldn't come up, I believe she was with her in laws. Happy Mother's Day!

Erik, my brother in law, my mum in law and Alejandro.

My brother Jaime, my mum and me.

Valentina and me.

and of course MY family!
