Nuestra Casa :D


We found our house!! The picture is a link to all the info on it (you can change the language to English at the top of the page I think). We met with our landlord today and he's a really great guy and speaks English pretty well. Between his English and my Spanish we're a perfectly bilingual human ;) I took a few pics with the nice camera, but don't know yet about uploading. The house has a big yard and a pool. It has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, and tons of flowers and fruit trees to make everything smell wonderful :) They're remodeling the kitchen, master bathroom, and the garage right now so we can't actually move in until mid-July. Since none of us wanted to live in a hotel for another month we've moved into an "aparthotel". For less than our hotel costs we're renting a furnished 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, cable, and a living room. Unfortunately the internet is not free so don't expect to hear much from us for the next month or so. I'm not too keen on paying over $100 a week for internet :O I will be back soon and when I am I'll have plenty of pictures and stories to share about this exciting transition.
ALSO Brennan is smiling a lot now and sleeping at least 7 hours at night. I will try to get a smiling pic and upload it ASAP as well. Tristan and Noah are fine as always and enjoying staying up a lot later here :)

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...
