As many of you know, after graduation we put our house on the market (sold it ourselves), bought a new house, gutted the kitchen- are still waiting for our new kitchen, and I started my new position. In the midst of this we took a little break from blogging. Hopefully we can get back on it now as things head to steady state. Little A is doing awesome- walking and babbling. He is really learning both languages and his most recent words (that he has said at least once) are: Duck, Dos, and Flores. Here is a little video g’ma mimmers captured recently:CLICK HERE—–> Adrian Bouncing
Did I mention the kitchen gets installed this week- Hallelujah!
We’re back from our week in Europe. We had a great time in London and Lisbon. Thanks to Karen and Kent for hosting our London trip. And big thanks to the grandparents for keeping little A. Here is a link to the full picture Gallery LINK
Also, 2 short stories…
1. Our biggest “mis-adventure” was trying to attend the Estoril Open tennis tournament in Lisbon, Portugal. We first tried to take the “free shuttle” for the tournament from a location near our hotel at 11am. Never found the bus…. Then we tried to go to another location for the shuttle at noon across town. We found lots of buses but not the one we needed. Third, we walked for 8 blocks looking for an ATM to afford a cab. Finally when we caught the cab Anita explained in Spanish that we needed to go to the Estoril Open tournament at the Olympic Stadium. He proceeded to take us to Estoril the town, which was 25 miles away. (the tournament was only 5 miles away). You can imagine the look on his face when he discovered he had overshot the location by 20 miles. We finally arrived at the tournament at 1:45pm, about 8 miles from our hotel!
2. At 2PM after only being at the tournament for 15 minutes, we find Roger Federer playing some exhibition tennis with a group of kids. We’re behind a fence that is about 5 ft high. He decides to rear back and hit a harder serve and it hits the fence about 3 inches from Anita’s face. If it was 2 inches higher, it would have been right between the eyes. I have to say, it really would could have been a great story and we could have got some 1×1 time with Federer if his aim was a little different. But I am glad that Anita wasn’t harmed
Adrian is officially 1 year old. He is so much fun … always smiling, pointing, crawling, cruising, and grunting.
We’re long overdue for posting videos and pictures. So expect a lot over the next few days. Saturday is the family birthday party for Adrian, so we are all excited for that.
