This past week work took me back to Spain for another week of new and enticing gastronomical experiences. Going to Europe for work is a bonus, but the opportunity to try out the local foods is the icing on the cake! So, whilst in Spain, I ate as the Spaniards do and enjoyed every minute of it. However, there is one thing drastically different about eating in Spain versus the States- it would be the hour at which dinner is eaten. Restaurants don't "open" till 9 pm. Yah. Needless to say after working for 10 hours, waiting another 3 to eat wasn't a highlight of the trip, but again, it's what one must be willing to sacrifice in the name of good food.
One word: tapas. Yes, they are fun and delicious small plates of appetizers. I frequented several tapas bars and enjoyed every bite. Barcelona is on the Mediterranean so the seafood is great. The city is really beautiful and I would come back again in a heartbeat.

Now for the bun. While I didn't eat any in Barcelona, we have had one in the oven for about 12 weeks now and it should be done sometime in early September (end of August if we pray really hard!). Aprille has been more nauseated this time around (she wasn't at all with the first two) so it is taking a little more out of her, but hopefully with the end of her first trimester, she will be over that soon (please!). Are the kids excited? Um, yes.
Koebe has been writing letters to the baby almost everyday (not like the one he wrote me down below) and talking to "him." He has already named him Kode- with that exact spelling. He was given an assignmnet at school on their 100 day celebration of what he would do with 100 bucks. He wrote he would buy the baby spider-man diapers, a spider-man crib, spider-man pacificer and bedding. He may have to have grief counseling if it turns out we're having a girl.
Kalee on the other hand has not indicated whether or not she wants a sister over a brother, but she has affectionately named the baby "Glodey". There is no misspelling. We have no idea where she finds her inspiration. She named her fish "She-sure", so I guess we're not all that surprised. Anyway, we're pregnant! Bring it on!
