Wiiiiiiiiii!!

Did I mention Bosley was overjoyed that we were home?? Because he is. He's like another kid, vying for my attention. I read about Beagles and how they're so difficult to train because of their noses and curiosity. I really don't need him to be "trained", just well-behaved. He's doing fabulous now. He still barks and acts scared when he sees Josh in uniform, but he's eating and playing like a normal dog now.

While we were in Ohio we got to play the Nintendo Wii. I loved it!!! For 2 days afterwards my entire upper body was sore from boxing, bowling, and playing tennis. We had been talking about buying a PS3, but I think the Wii is much better. It's actual exercise and even Noah can play. He loves baseball, golf, boxing, and bowling... so pretty much everything. I took a video of him golfing. I'll have to upload it to YouTube. You can download old Nintendo and Sega games (and every other system) as well. I am big into Zelda :) Nintendo makes it way too easy to spend money... the wii has a wireless connection in it, and you can d-load from the console. You can also send wii-mail and challenge others to games. My sister and brothers all have the console so I suspect we'll be playing together someday. Bring on the Dr. Mario tournament!!! I love me some Dr. Mario.

I thought I would mention that Tristan is a pig. He is. I swear to you he eats every 2 hours and acts like he's starving to death every time. I would fear the possibility of a tapeworm, but he's been this way since birth. Breastfeeding a big ol' hoss of a baby is stressful, let me tell you. He's almost 9 months old and is already getting pretty good at the self feeding. Normally I would shudder at the sight of such a young baby with such big hunks of food, but he handles it all really well. He ate that entire banana, a jar of baby food, half a gerber tub of fruit, and half of that zwieback toast. He's a MONSTER!!! Must be a growth spurt.

OMG! I think he eats more then Haley does. haha. J/k. I think the sooner you start them on real food the better. We learned our lesson with Haley. Now, she won't try any new or grown up food still.

Wii is fun! We had one but we didn't play it enough so we sold it ....Mark was playing his xbox360 more anyways...then it broke....so yes I am sure he wishes he had his Wii back now! He created so many cool celebrity me's ,haha..
I can't believe Tristan & his eating! Ember has always been a great eater too. I love it! She eats the same portions as Ava & on some occations eats more!

Good for you & hitting the 9 month nursing mark! I'm so proud of you! It's such a huge accomplishment really.

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...
