El Ejercito

Este finde estoy sola... porque Evan se ha unido a las fuerzas armadas.

El mes de Agosto lo paso de entrenamiento en el cuartel y ahora le piden minimo dos findes ( enteros) al mes. Asi que la semana pasada y esta le ha tocado. Tb le toca en su cumple y en Halloween :(... pero bueno, no me quejo poruqe tiene muchas ventajas.

El verano que viene tb tiene que hacer dos cursos para su puesto como "signal operator"( a saber como se dice en espanyol...pero es el que lleva lo de la radio, en fin...q poco se de terminos militares, aunque ahora me estoy poniendo al dia :D).

Asi que el mes de Julio y Agosto del anyo que viene me tocara estar solita...pero ya me estoy pensando el coger carretera y manta e irme de visita a Arizona, a Kansas, a Idaho y por supuesto Utah!!!.... no se si estoy sonyando en voz alta, pero espero que me salga el plan :D

Me iria a Espanya...pero no tengo un duro, para variar :(

En fin...aqui van fotos de mi querido en accion :D

developing new talents....

Carmen discovered the camera....

not too bad

Then Evan wanted too....

good try...

This is better :D

A walk.... to remember

Had a great time going just for a walk with the family.... The weather's been awesome this week.

It's beautiful here!

Vancouver...my new place

Before telling you about life in Canada I will mention that the plane ride wasn't bad. This time I had to deal with the baby crawing all over tha place, Evan running up and down the aisles ( not without being "told" he couldn't do that...this time the aircraft was a bit more anal... but I found an argentinina couple who helped me out with the luggage and another couple of ladies that held Isabel for a good two hours while she slept :D....nad finnally we made it home!

The best and most comforting part for me was to think that once in Vancouver that was our final destination!! no more ferry!!!!

We squeezed everything in our car ( a miracle!!) and into our house!

The kids had REALLY, REALLY BAD jetlag... so my nights were horrible for a bit. Isabel is the one it is taking a while to adjust...

I've been really busy trying to organize things around here... things are still in boxes, I've been cleaning like crazy...the old routine of a stay home mom :D.

Evan and I had some fun at the PNE ( un parque de atracciones) and had some time for ourselves ( much needed :P thanks mom and dad for that!)

We are excited about this new episode of our lives. I feel good about it. God is blessing us... working a miracle, really. And to put it in the words of Paul to the Romans: "If God be for us, who can be against us?"

Airport scene....

Only one word:

SAD

:(

Last days in Spain

I had a super hard time saying good bye.... I knew I'd miss people terribly, but I didn't even realize how much!

One of the last days I had pictures taken of the kids ( I haven't scanned yet, sorry!, but as you can imagine they look adorable :D)

My sweet Isabel...

This is the hairdresser that did our hair. She was in love with my kids :D

Carmen told her all about how her auntie Sarah ( well, actually she said Adriel's mom :D ) used to do her hair...

This is another Carmen, the daugther of my cousin Carmen, daugther of my auntie Carmen :D

I love my auntie... I was sad not knowing when I will see them again :(

I love my whole family... It hurts to be so far away.

I've been so busy I haven't really had time to be sad....but I am. I've been wanting to move to Spain everyday since I left. But I understand I have to give it some time.... I need some time to adjust to my new life and give me a chance to find happiness, even far away from the people that love me the most.

Al cole!

Mi primogenita empieza el cole!!!! Estaba super animada... en la Noche de Hogar la noche anterior hablamos de lo mucho que iba a aprender y todos los amigos que iba a hacer. Tiene solo 5 anyos pero tiene un entendimiento deslumbrante.

Nada mas salir de la clase me dijo un tanto trite: Este cole solo era de jugar :( ... yo queria hacer Math!

Jajaja...creo que van un poco lento para su ritmo. Ya sabe leer y escribir en Espanyol e Ingles y estamos empezando a sumar....por lo visto lo de ir al cole a jugar se le ha quedado pequenyo :P

Mirad lo guapa y contenta que estaba en su primer dia!

Otro que volvio al "cole" es mi marido....desde hace 9 anyos que no iba a clase.... Esta haciendo Linguistica y Estudios de la Cultura Hispanica ( para ser profesor de Espanyol y hacer tmabien Traduccion).

Ha empezado suavecito....sin muchas clases para hacerlo muy bien. Todos estos anyos he querido que estudiara...hasta que por fin me ha hecho caso! Seguro que lo hara genail... porque tambien es super inteligente....si mi hija tiene de donde sacar :D
