Chewkie Invades España

Oliver has been busy on the beach in Murcia, España! I know that he was supposed to discover the world this summer but I think that being with his family in Spain for 17 days counts. Right? Of course, right! I miss my boys terribly, but they will be home on Sunday! Here are some of my favorite pictures Manuel has taken. (I guess this entry should be called: chewkie and his daddy discover the world.)


Here he is at Logan Airport, waiting to cross the pond. 


A budding soccer star! (Where have I gone wrong?? Gah!) This is the courtyard of his abuleo's beach house.


An early morning swim.


Playing in the sand!


Washing off his shovel, thinking about what to build next.


Moody, exhausted picture with Friend. (Blue polo shirt, your time is limited. . . This school year he'll be in purple!)


He wanted Manuel to buy this bike and take it home on the plane. Pink! Sometimes my preaching that there is no such thing as a boy color or a girl color works! Gender neutral parenting FTW!


How cute is he on a hippo?


On his Primo Dani's shoulders! 


Collecting rocks that I hope don't come home. Well, a few can come home. 


While they have been gone, I have been arranging and cleaning Oliver's room. When it is done and PERFECT, I will take pictures. . . You know, before he comes along like a hurricane and messes it all up.

On hold. . .

Since the lovely State of Connecticut has felt the need to give my husband a permanent vacation (UGH!), he and Oliver are heading to Spain for a bit. Oliver needs to spend time with his abuleos (and primos and tios) and his abuleos funded the trip. . . So, woo! 

This blog is rather on hold, for the time being. I don't know if I want to become a *Mommie Blogger* because I'm not really *THAT mom* (People seem to think I am, though. But I'm not.) but I want to do something with this.

Oliver will be attending the brand-spankng-new charter school in the fall, and THAT promises to be an adventure. . . Maybe there will be stories fit for blogging.
