Hola!
We are now connected again thanks to the wireless and kindness of a new neighbor we met. We have no idea what has happened with the phone company but we must have been put on the bottom of the pile again. At least we are connected now and they can get here when they get here. My laptop had been detecting a wireless connection that needed a security key, and I just happened to meet those neighbors out on the terrace the other day. I went to ask them today if there was any way we could use their connection while we are waiting, and they were so kind and helpful about it. They are actually from Uruguay. We have neighbors on our street from England, Spain, Scotland, and now Uruguay!
There is so much to catch you up on! The first piece of HUGE news is that Luke lost 2 front teeth while we were unconnected! He was pleased to find that the Spanish tooth fairy leaves a euro for each lost tooth, although we've been told that it's a small mouse here instead of a tooth fairy. Too funny.
ANYWAY, we've been doing great. I have so many pictures to post and things to tell you, I'll have to do it in phases to catch up. First, here is a picture of the kids eating ice cream with Aunt Jess when she was still here. Later that week we connected with a couple other Moms of 5-year-old boys who invited us to a park, and Luke was so THRILLED to make some friends! Here they are staring down at a dead bird, I guess that's what 5-year-old boys do! It was pretty cute. They were perched there for a good 20 minutes discussing the dead bird.
That Sunday we were invited to the Barcelona zoo with my statistician friend at the University of Barcelona (Josep) and his wife and 2-year-old son Joan. Another friend of their's with a 2.5- year-old daughter also came and this is a picture of all the kids looking at a turtle. We had a very fun day with them!
Today we also went into Barcelona, first to church and then we explored the Port Olympic area a bit. We had a really nice lunch outside, walked around some parks and the water front, and then of course had to get ice cream before heading home. It was a very nice day. The kids have just been great and I've been so thankful. Here are some pictures from today as well. I'll post some of the house within the next couple of days because I have a lot of them.
Brian is due home on Wednesday so we're looking forward to seeing him again too!
Hope you all are well and talk to you again soon!
Love,
Tonya

So you don't have a complex, I thought I'd post a comment. Tell Lukeuel I would have given him 2 euro per tooth... He has to learn hold out for more money in the future. The poor kid will come home to Lancaster County with NO skills! How about some Skype info.... I set up an account tonight, but can't find you guys anywhere. Things are good here. Cold and damp...feels like snow.
