We made it!

Here we are in Madrid for the third January in a row. Something about those empty planes on the way over makes the whole journey more bearable. So we're catching up with Nacho's family and they are swooning over Carolina just like I predicted. And of course, they think Elisa is wonderful too and way too smart for three. Yes, she's hamming it up and trying to speak more Spanish (if only to garner more attention). So far she's imitating Tio Ignacio saying "vamos, vamos" and "que mal" with perfect intonation. And she can't get enough of the anchovy stuffed olives and pan. It's good to be back after a long year with lots of changes and these girls are going to enjoy the place even more this summer when we return. For us, this trip is just the start of sharing our family with the family and friends here. It's a long journey, but once you make it, it's so rewarding. And the sunshine in January is a welcome relief. Estamos felices!
