Hello everyone,

Fatima and I arrived in La Paz Thursday for our last doctors visit. Griffin was still in a breach position after 39 weeks so we stayed the night in La Paz and arrived at the hospital at 6:00am. Fatima gave birth, via c-section at 9:05 am on July 3rd. Griffin was 3.3kg(7.28lbs.) and 52in. long. We arrived back home in Los Barriles late afternoon on the 4th. Needless to say we both haven’t had much sleep and we are all currently recovering at home getting to know our baby boy. We want to thank everyone for all your support, gifts and words of encouragement. Fatima and I are looking forward to introducing you to our new baby boy.

Hope to see you soon.
Ward, Fatima and Griffin

The new Cabo HSBC Bank is now in the Wal-Mart Shopping center at the Sam's Club end of the shopping center.
Two weeks ago their sign was very difficult to see. It's next to another bank......Banamex or one of those. Cheryl

Exciting news! It looks as if we will finally have the opportunity to recycle in Los Barriles! Brenda and Moises Navarro have been helping the San Jose/Los Cabos area residents to recycle, and now they would like to expand into our area. The first day will be November 15, 2009, as this will coordinate with other clean-up activities scheduled in conjunction with UVERDE, who has been doing such a great job cleaning up the town and teaching in the schools about the value of a clean environment. The plan is to have this as a twice-monthly program, with drop off points in town still to be determined. We will also be giving you more details on exactly what is recyclable. A small fee/donation to the program will be appreciated.
For more information now, you can go to the Navarros blogspot. Start saving those recycles!!
