Busy, busy, busy weeks!!
We have been home for 2 weeks and my life has been abnormally busy. Doctors appointments, dentist appointments, soccer games, choir practices, choir performances, oh, I could go on forever!! And I almost broke two of my fingers and they still hurt!
Today is my first down day. We did have church but now I am vegging out watching the Dodgers struggle.
I will post pictures of the choir show that Avery Rose was in soon!

27 hours later.....
It took us 27 hours to get from our hotel in the Canary Islands to our front door. YIKES!! We are a bit foggy but hanging in there. We took "No Jet Lag" pills out to Europe and home and kept hydrated and that really seemed to help. I didn't even take a nap yesterday!! Now, last night I didn't sleep great so we'll see what happens today.
Thank you for all of your prayers for a safe trip!!

Chicago baby
So here we are in the middle of our long layover in Chicago. We got on the subway to go grab a bite to eat in the city but unfortunately the blue line was down and we had to just stay on and go back to the airport. The good news was that we took some great pictures of flat Stanley on his first subway ride!
Well, our food just got here. We are eating at the Hilton at O'hare.
Next time I post hopefully I will be home!

The cat and the mice
Alright, so Celeste wanted to know the story behind the cat and the mice, so here it is.
It is pretty simple, a guy wanted to make some money without working so he hangs out with a cat who likes mice. I met a guy like him in Key West many years ago. Only that guy walked around with a Rottweiler with a cat sitting on top of him with a mouse sitting on top of the cat. I spoke with him and he said it was just a matter of training the animals. Now because I didn't speak Italian I was unable to ask what was up with this cat and mice. Were the mice orphaned at the same time the cat's kitties died and they have now bonded? Maybe! Did the Italian man drug the animals? Maybe! Were they battery operated animals and just looked real? Maybe!
Oh, the guy I mentioned earlier was on CNN a few weeks after we saw him in Key West only he had moved on to Denver.

The islands
We made it to the canary islands. After an hour and 15 minute flight from Barcelona to Madrid then a 2 hour and 45 flight on to the island. We are staying at a fancy quaint hotel. Our room is small with 2 twin beds and a cute little balcony. The room looks very European. That might have something to do with the fact that we are indeed in Europe. This island belongs to Spain but is closest to Africa. They said that it is very warm and dry because of the winds that come over from Africa. Kind of cool huh?
Hopefully I will get around to posting pictures later.
