Row Boats


A stroll in the park.



The zip-line over the row boats.

Last Saturday we decided to go on the row boats in Parque Europa. We invited other collegues to join us and the kids really enjoyed seeing the fish in the pond, a turtle, and people overhead flying down the zip-line. The kids really enjoyed being together and the beauty of the park.



Cowboy Dave


We went to the Cervantes fair in Alcala because we wanted the cultural experience and so David could ride what we thoguht would be donkeys...but turned out to be ponies. It was perfect because the day before when we told him we were going to go he got his cowboy outfit together. He had his hat and bandana and looked so perfect up there on that pony. Trinity and David also rode a big midevil swing that was turned by a big crank.

Growing little girl

Trinity is changing so much and I can't believe how she is talking, understanding and doing! I can't even begin to say all the things she is doing and saying. My video camera is the memory for me. All I know is that I am enjoying having a girl like I never thought I could. I wouldn't change anything about her or any of our kids. They just remind me how much I need to change about myself.



Her new winter pjs.
Now that the boys are in school in the mornings Trinity has more interest in what I do in the kitchen. She cleans and makes her own "soup" in the sink and helps me cook lunch. She is quite the helper and does things well considering her age.


Trinity now pushes a chair to the pantry and digs around for her snack she wants. She woke up this morning and wen tdown stairs at 0630 and made herself a bowl of cereal. Tim found her pouring the milk into her bowl. She is getting more and more independent!
David still puts funny stuff on the eat his meals from time to time.
The kids have all loved these cups with the built in straw. Milk makes the best bubbles.
