Los Ninos

I took the opportunity today to snap some pictures of the boys. They were all cooperative and happy :O Can you imagine?! Again if you want to see the bigger versions you'll have to go on flickr. Still not uploading to blogger for some reason.





This outfit has been on all my boys and it's one of my faves. I did Tristan's 2mos photo shoot in it, in fact... well I wasn't in it... he was... oh you know what I mean. So yeah :) Here are my boys! Notice the adorableness that is a newborn baby smile. They are extra special because you have to work pretty hard for them. I still consider him to be a newborn... after 3mos they're officially babies in my opinion.





I've been using the baby carrier religiously (like I always do) and no one has them out here. The looks I get are a combination of either disgust or jealousy. Spanish ladies feel the need to tell me when he's sleeping, if his head is to the side, if his legs "look cold", if his legs hurt him, if he looks uncomfortable, if he's too young, if he's chewing on the front, if his nose is red... you name it. They're driving me crazy. The worst ones are the ladies that walk past and just say to each other "Oh my God! Please...!" like he's dying or something. He's perfectly safe and happy. I wish they'd get over it!

So what DO they do with their babies? Leave them in strollers or what? That would annoy me too, people telling me how "wrong" I am ...sheesh!

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

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...

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...
