Heading Home

Tomorrow we're heading back to the States again. We're truly looking forward to spending time with family and friends and enjoying the holidays back in the good old USA. We're definitely going to miss the wonderful people we've met here including Maria, John and Johnny as well as Ed, Joanna, Alex and Jocelyn. Jay loves Johnny and Alex so much and will no doubt be asking for them while we're gone. Here are a few things we've been up to this past week.

Eating at TGI Fridays in Sevilla. Jay loved his Fanta.

We saw this giant woman outside of the mall. I think there was some kind of maze inside her? Not really sure. People were buying tickets to go inside though.

Here's Jay and Alex doing their favorite thing: racing push cars up and down the sidewalk.


Jay loves Alex's slide. He and Alex thought it was really funny to go down it then pretend to fall on the ground on their tummies. Here's Jay demonstrating.


This is Alex's little sister Jocelyn. Isn't she adorable?


When we made "ice cream" one night Jay accidentally poured some on his head when he lifted it off of his tray while I cleaned up a previously spilled mess. At first Mike and I were laughing so hard that he started sort of nervously laughing too. Once the cold, wetness of it started to sink in though he was pretty distraught.


This is the familia Roldan, some of our favorite people in Spain. They have had us over for dinner several times while we've been here, always making us really yummy food. We had them over one last time before we left. The two on the left are Victor and Anniola (newlyweds) then there's Josafina and her daughter Viky with Antonio at the head of the table. Their son Miguel is currently serving a mission in the Bilbao, Spain mission - our favorite!


Last but not least I had to insert this fun picture of Mike and Jay dancing. They love to play together. We're sure going to miss daddy when he leaves. We're excited to spend some quality time with him before he goes though. We hope to see many of you soon!

Looks like you have been having fun! I hope your trip back to the states is a safe one! If you ever have a free moment we would love to see you. If you get busy with family that is okay too. Oh, and in your previous post did it say mother of 2? Is that an announcement? ;)
