Relief

Karrie took the boys before I went to my appointment so I could get an hour nap in since I hadn't slept the night before. She also did my hair and makeup for me before we left for the airport and tidied up my house after I left. I just love her! Jennifer met me at the salon to provide moral support and ended up taking me shopping. She bought me this adorable sweater from the Gap. Thanks Jennifer! :D What am I going to do without my girls! I LOVE my new haircut... love love love. I will get a better picture of it later.

I'm mad at myself now for not having someone take a pic of all of us together at the airport, but I was kinda out of it. My face was as red as the stripes on my shirt. I saw his face and I was just instantly at ease with the world.

Tristan slept for 7 and a half hours straight last night! I really do believe that babies have a connection with their moms, they feel however Mommy feels. So all that stress rubbed off on him and then all that relief did as well. He's been super happy and relaxed all day.

Noah can't stop hugging and kissing us. He loves seeing us together and he just keeps saying "I love you" to us. We're finally truly relaxed and enjoying each others' company. I'm thinking of new names for my blog. More later... I'm gonna get back to my babies :)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
