Archery

We're been doing a lot of this recently.  It's archery.  Reuben was able to go shoot at least three times this week.  It's great that it's a hobby/sport that we are actually able to do in our own yard (on the side of our yard, often in the dark since there isn't much light.) It was nice to be able to be in Washington for Thanksgiving and have some real space and a better target (surrounded by hay bales!) 

Our Mediterranean Cruise: Spain

Yes, there are three kids in that stroller

This picture is supposed to show the seafood, not the exposed legs in the background!

Out of a stroll

The Sagrada Familia

We went to church!

Happy baby!  She ate on my lap almost for every meal, two weeks long.  She loved it, I didn't love it so much.

Matching Zara dresses.  My happy girls

Jamon

One of the best fruit juices I had ever had in my life, in the market place in Barcelona

 

Gotta love the food!

the dynamic every night at dinner.  Our waiter had never had children at his tables, and then out of the blue he got us and 8 children in just two tables!  It was chaos every night.  We were used to it.  he was not and he was stressed out.  Even though he wasn't really that nice, we made sure to give him an extra tip because he did try.
