Once again I am way behind in our blog. Although I don´t feel like we live an exceptionally exciting life worthy of a post every day, (plus even if we did, I don´t have the time) we do share many great moments together as a family that I do not want to let go by without a mention. I think the best way to do a recap is through pictures, so below are the highlights of our winter/early spring 2010.
Although we have had an usually long and wet winter and I would even say pretty cold for southern Spain, there were a few days in February we could actually enjoy the sunshine in the park. Every time Leo has a stake meeting we travel almost an hour away to Elche which has a beautiful city park, so while Leo is in the meeting the boys and I play in the park.

Brotherly Love
Grass is actually hard to find here so he was a little unsure about the sensation..
Charlie is a great big brother.
In Charlie´s school they celebrated Carnival in February and this year they dressed up as princes and princesses.
A family outing in March to a local beach town called Los Alcazares.
Some more brotherly love.
Charlie was trying to help Clark look at the camara, but he forgot to do the same.
This year we all had boughts of the flu and Charlie, then me, then Clark, then our nephew and then Leo´s sister all had pink eye. See picture above. Clark couln´t open his eye but I wanted a picuture before I helped him. Poor fellow.
Mom, stop taking pictures and help me. (What I am sure Clark would have told me, could he speak.)
In Spain, Father´s day is celebrated on the 19th of March, so I decided to have the boys paint a picture for their dad.
Shopping trip to the famous department store, El Corte Ingles.
After a long day of shoping, what is better than fun in the park.
Once again, Mom stop taking pictures and play with me.
Charlie, cute as ever.
The boys favorite activity lately is to ride on daddy´s back up and down the hall playing cowboy.
The best sherriff in Southeast Spain.
Do you think he has fun?
In March, one Saturday we took a trip to the beach since it was such nice weather. We strolled along the boardwalk, ate lunch next to the sea, played on the beach and collected seashells.
My handsome boys.
What a happy family!

As you can tell this was at the end of the day and Leo was beat, which is the norm these days especially now that he is working even longer hours at work. Now that we don´t see him much during the week, it is even more reason to make the weekends special. I can´t wait to see what the rest of the year holds for our family.
