el pasoooo

Yes, we are now in El Paso and SO enjoying it!! The weather has been nice. We did end up having to turn on our a.c. last night, but that was the first time and we immediately turned it off this morning since the high was only 65. The sales are looking extremely promising and will probably end up staying here longer than originally planned. I am desperately looking for a job to kill my boredom, but I don't speak spanish and it's pretty much a must here... DeVon and Tony have really enjoyed being able to go to the driving range. Grandma Gallup sent DeVon some money for his birthday and we used it to buy him some little golf clubs - A driver and a 9 iron. They get here tomorrow and hopefully he loves them and stops wanting to use Tony's clubs. So to drive down here, we had to rent a uhaul truck, which Tony drove, then I drove the toyota. I only had DeVon for a little bit then we decided to put him in the uhaul cuz we knew it would entertain him. And entertain him it did. It was a 26 hour drive, total (we stopped for the night in Gallup, NM) and he rode in the uhaul for probably 24 hours of it. He didn't even need his dvd player or toys. He just enjoyed the front seat view the entire time. Our apartment here is nice. We're on the third floor and we have a big balcony patio thing. I just leave the door open all day long and DeVon can go in and out as he pleases. Right now some of his toys are out there, to try and entice him to stay out there (His happiness is directly proportional to the time he spends outside). I'm not looking forward to the day it starts getting to hot to keep his toys out there and leave the door open. He is growing so fast. He's been sleeping a LOT and eating almost twice as much as usual. He has been waking up at 6:30 every morning though... ugh... stupid sun coming up. We need to get blackout curtains. I'm hoping to do lots of fun things with DeVon this summer - like go to the zoo. Not sure what else. I was gonna post some videos but for whatever reason a couple weren't working. Next time. For now, it's time to watch survivor!! We love Russell!!
