 Since we were around family so close to Caden's b-day, we decided to celebrate with his cousin, aunts uncle and Grandparents.  How fun! We went to Boondocks the day after Emily's wedding and the day before we left to come back to Spain.  It was so much fun driving the cars, arcades, laser tag, etc.  Since we had SO many leftover desserts from the wedding, Caden allowed us to use them as his cake.  We sure love our family.  It's hard going and spending time with them and then leave knowing it's going to be a while before we can do it again.  After the party, we went to bed and started our horrendous journey back to Spain.  We flew commercial to Delaware and then had to watch three different planes leave for Rota without us.  They didn't have enough seats for us.  Flying the military way is free but you have to put up with a lot getting to where you want to go.  We had to stay in the terminal and sleep on the floor and chairs without blankets, etc.  I ended up  pulling items of clothes out of the suitcase and putting them on the boys.  Then I laid by Caden so we could use our body heat to stay warm.  It was definitely an experience we'll never forget.  It was good to get back and see Nick and the twins. The babies were thrilled to see us again.  Nick did a good job, along with some great friends taking care of them.
