What we have been up to lately

We've had a fun and busy May. Here's what we have been up to in the Southern Hemisphere...

The primary trainer for Boot Camp BA moved on to Colombia so I was able to pick up all the group classes and some private clients as well. It has been so much fun and such a great learning experience!
A couple of my favorite girls from the group classes stayed after one day to help me take some photos for the Boot Camp website and Facebook page (you should like us if you haven't already!). Hint-hint :)

 The parks in Puerto Madero are perfect for training. So much cleaner, quieter and organized than the rest of BA. Reminds me of home, sweet home Chicago!
Fer and I recently hired a dishwasher to help us out :) Martin is an excellent dish-washer and laundry folder and gets to make some pocket change to boot!

 Sofi turned 15 at the beginning of May and we hosted some of Fer's family for the week of her party. It was so much fun to have a full apartment with lots of laughing, story-telling, cousin time and... LOTS of Spanish! It was so good for me to practice speaking more.

 Also in May, My mom came to visit!! Since she had her camera out most of the time, I only had a couple of photos on my camera. Here is one of the two of us before we went to Alevear Palace Hotel for afternoon tea. We had a great time and did lots around the city. Hoping that I can pictures from her and will post more from her visit soon!

March catch-up

One of these days I might actually catch up on this blog... but I am not holding my breath!
Each month our life has been getting busier and busier. Here are highlights from some of the recent happenings:
Fer recently passed his General Medicine Boards AND his Neurocritical Care Boards!! I am incredibly proud of him! Both of the exams came at particularly busy times in his life so he wasn't able to prepare as much as he would have liked for each exam. But he is just that smart and passed with flying colors! :)

A month or so ago I had a group of girls over for "Supper Club"
Fabulous company, fabulous food!

Neither one of us are natural home decorators I am realizing, so we have SLOWLY been taking our time getting our apartment fully adorned. Thankfully Fer's dad came to the rescue with a solution for our TV stand. After seeing how ridiculously TV stands (and furniture in general) were priced, he offered to make one for us! It turns out that Enrique is quite the carpenter. He designed the stand, cut all the pieces, painted it and shipped all of it to us with detailed instructions for assembly (IKEA-style). It even has a cabinet with great rolling drawers!
Here are Fer and Martin putting it together:
 Sofi helped as well ;)
The finished product:
 Thank you so much Enrique!!

Early on in March the kids' cousins from the northern part of Argentina came for a quick visit.
Here are Martin, Pumo, Augus, and Sofi at breakfast:
 Such is life with teenagers these days :)
 Cousin love! It is so much fun when the cousins get together.

I am a lucky girl to have a husband that cooks and cooks well. Although my dad and brothers set the standard pretty high, Fer impresses me regularly with his culinary skills. One night out of the blue, Fer made these adorable veggie creations:
 What a husband! Cute AND healthy!

At the end of March Jennifer, my friend Jessica's sister, paid us a visit. One night she cooked us a delish Mexican meal!

In other news, I recently started covering all the group training sessions for Boot Camp Buenos Aires which has been a fun addition to my work with Buena Onda Yoga (check out my bio that is finally on the webpage!). I am currently working on finishing my personal training certification with ISSA so I am an official trainer. I also wrote another nutrition column on appetite and hunger control for Medios Lentos that should be up soon.
Would love to hear from folks back home- even though life is busy here I get awfully lonely sometimes! Send your love down South :) xo
