Un Saludo Desde España

The blog is alive... and so are we. This is going to be a quick summary of our current state. We will post more regularly once a few more things get settled. I will post a few photos below as well.

Here's the latest:

Rebecca is still very prego. 34 weeks. Goal is 37. Measures 42 weeks. Healthy, swollen, minimal signs of delivering, trying to take it easy.

Nick has been working some, got out on the bike a few times through the Spanish country side, trying to keep up with life on the move. Is currently getting over feeling deathly ill.

We are in our beautiful house out in town, but with temporary furniture. Shipment coming in a couple of days. House tour to come to the blog later.

Haven't had a chance to travel too much. Live 150 yrds from the beach, went to Gibraltar (English territory), traveled a little around the local cities.

We are enjoying speaking Spanish. The boys think they are pretty cool. Jake says Rebecca's Spanish "doesn't sound good 'cuz it sounds like English." They are brutally honest.

More to come soon. Please drop us a line or comment so we know if it is worth keeping this thing updated!






If you zoom in on the marker on the map, you will see the row of houses the the lower left corner. We are the third one in going from left to right. They are some of the bigger houses around so we lucked out. Our backyard is the forest area and about 100 yrds to the beach. Zoom the map out to get a better view.
