Hi all,
Here are a few new videos from Camilo's preschool. The teachers and kids threw an amazing "Fiesta de Invierno" (Winter Party) last week, with singing and dancing by the kids and teachers, as well as a special visit by Santa Klaus!
It was great to spend some time with the kids, their parents, and the teachers, and we came away with some great memories that I am now happy to share. Click on the video images to view the videos below. If you have a slow internet connection, it might take a little longer to start each video. Enjoy!

Update
Hi everyone,
Greetings everyone! Thank you to all of you who have written, called or asked about us, we apologize for not keeping in touch, but we have been busy unpacking and adjusting to a new life in the US. Although we had a couple difficult first months health wise, with Camilo catching all kinds of viruses and other unknown and invisible stuff at his day care, things have settled down, and we are enjoying life in Pittsboro, NC.
I am writing late at night, so will keep this very brief, but wanted to let you know that I am finally getting around to downloading photos and videos from the last few months, and have uploaded 3 videos to our blog, the top two taken at our home in North Carolina, and the third one before we left Nicaragua:

I have a ton of photos to sort and upload, but that will be another day. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the videos posted, and that you enjoy thanksgiving and/or griteria!

Dear friends and family members,
As some of you already know, after five years of living in
I have been offered a job at Executive Director of El Vinculo Hispano, a Latino organization located in
We also want to let folks know that the beautiful house that we have been renting for the past three years will become available. It is a four-bedroom home with a great patio overlooking a big yard. Even though it is in the heart of the city in Colonia Centoamerica, it feels like the country because it has so many trees and is on a dead-end street. It is well-situated to receive constant breezes and it has a brand-new water pump and 2 huge water tanks. Click here to see a few house photos. If you are interested, we can put you in touch with the owner.
For those of you in
With much love,
Millie, Ronald and Camilo

Estimados amigos y familiares,
Como algunos de ustedes ya saben, después de 5 años de vivir en Nicaragua, Millie y yo hemos decidido regresar a los EEUU. Ha sido una decisión difícil porque vamos a echar de menos a tantos amigos y familiares aquí en Nicaragua.
Me han ofrecido empleo como Director Ejecutivo de El Vinculo Hispano, una organización Latina ubicada en el condado de Chatham, Carolina del Norte, cercano a la ciudad de Durham. Millie va a tomarse un tiempo para ayudar a establecernos y estar con Camilo durante esta transición., y luego va a buscar como conectarse a la comunidad progresista por esos lados.
También queremos dejarles saber que una hermosa casa en la cual hemos estado pagando alquiler durante tres años va a estar disponible. Es una casa de cuatro cuartos con un patio que tiene una vista sobre un jardín grande. Aunque la casa esta en el corazón de la capital, en
A nuestros amigos y familiares en Nicaragua, sepan que permaneceremos en contacto, ya que siempre planeamos mantener el vínculo con el país. Escribiremos de nuevo cuando tengamos información de contacto en nuestra nueva residencia.
Abrazos calurosos,
Millie, Ronald y Camilo
