Happy Birthday Charlie!






Introducing to the world my newest nephew born March 22, 2008, while I was home to meet him. Now, there's kid after his auntie's heart. He's a little peanut, the poor kid has no hand-me downs that even fit! I can't wait to see him grow!











So what else is new with me? not much! After a much needed spring break and a wonderful trip home to visit the fam (and of course my boys!) I am back in Madrid trying to get back into the grind. Daylight savings time began yesterday so now we have an insanely long day...I think it was dusk when I left my class around 9pm this evening. It's pretty nice, especially because now I can take advantage of the extra light time to train for the half marathon. Oh, but wait, it's this Sunday and my training is minimally existant at best. Paco and I drove the route yesterday and I am a bit scared, especially since my hiney was aching from the 7 mile run I did on Saturday. So, wish me luck folks!

I am still battling everyday with my internal "where/when/how am I going to have a wedding" debate. Sadly, despite my running- clear-my-head time, no progress has been made. It is slightly embarrassing that I have no better clue now than when I got engaged 3 months ago. Am I going to be one of those permanantly engaged but never married couples? I hope not, because many people I know have theories about that kind of thing, which have proven to be rather accurate, and I don't want to go there.

Apart from that, just teaching and teaching and that's about it. I wish I had something more exciting to speak of, but hey Charlie takes the spotlight, isn't that enough?
