Thankful

By | Celebrations, Education, Homes and Interiors | No Comments

Monday night, Javier and I were already sleeping when James woke us up to the best surprise ever!!  Jaime came back for Thanksgiving!!!  I was so upset that day that he was not replying to my texts asking if he had arrived in New York City, only to find out he was on his way here!  The original plan was for him to go to NYC and I have been so worried thinking of how he will be there alone in the CONCRETE JUNGLE! 🙂 So thankful to the Lord for bringing our family together for Thanksgiving!!

Last September, we dropped Jaime in his school!  I love the greens surrounding the campus!!!

Harry Potter? 🙂

We wanted to make sure everything was okay.  How could he have possibly done this all by himself?? 🙂

He is lucky he has a great Papa!  I would not know what to do without his Papa

Oh no, the moustache mania 🙂

There were things already there from last schoolyear which they kept in storage.  When we arrived, the school had already placed them in their room which is a big help!

The roomates and good friends!  Antonio and Jaime

Each dorm or house has around 5 advisers per house.  Mr. Rodriguez is Jaime’s adviser.  We talked with him for awhile before leaving
