First pics from Espana

Hi all! We are done with the first week in our new home. We have all pretty much recovered from the jet lag and the nasty rotavirus is now behind us. O is eating and drinking to her heart's content again. We have been busy checking out the neighboring towns of Jerez, Rota and Cadiz. We have even managed to conquer two malls as well! Much to my happiness. We had a command function the other night and found out after we got here that it was a formal event. We, of course, had not packed for such an occasion and had to do some quick shopping. Justin was grumbling but I was delighted that I could pick up some Euro fashions immediately. Many have requested pictures so we have taken a few and have posted them. Not the best of pics but they are a good start. Enjoy!


O standing in front of our rental car. Yes it really is that small. A 5 speed as well. I love that cars in Europe can be picked up and carried rather than driven. The temporary base housing is in the background. Hopefully we won't be living here for too much longer...



This is a picture from our trip over to Cadiz yesterday. We decided to make the 20 minute drive over to the "big city" near us. This is a picture of me and O at a little fountain. She was not happy about being stuck in the stroller.


O and I overlooking the Bay of Cadiz and the Atlantic Ocean. We asked her to smile for the camera and she decided to pitch a fit instead. Maybe a career in modeling is not in her future. Rota is the white to the left in the distance behind us. The base is dead center of the picture behind us.

O and I dressed to the 9's and ready for the command function. We were the only ones who brought a child to it. She was a hit though. And a trooper-she lasted until 10pm.
