Welcome Owen!

We had a baby boy!!! It's about time I update the blog to share our news. Owen was born May 20th, 2008 at 7:36 am. He weighed 8 lbs 3 oz, and was about 20" long. He has grown so fast, I can't believe he is already 2 months old!

Oops - and here I thought we were all holding our own babies!

Proud grandparents:)

A little boy already it seems... time is flying.

Spain - SEVILLE

Ahhhh - back in Spain!!! Seville really is one of the most beautiful cities we have ever seen - a definite must-see! The cathedral of Seville is the largest of all Roman Catholic cathedrals... Supposedly it took 100 years to build - which I can believe with the amount of detail, it was gorgeous. We walked up the "giralda" (bell tower) and saw beautiful views of the city, including the bull fighting pen (below).
A great way to finish off our trip to Portugal & Spain:)

Portugal - THE ALGARVE

The Algarve was beautiful! We stayed in Lagos for 6 nights...with a nice boardwalk, small streets full of restaurants and bars and a quaint yet bustling atmosphere.We found it seemed less touristy than Albufeira (which we visited for no more than a 1/2 day). We were really happy we rented a car, which allowed us to get off the beaten path and go to nicer, quieter beaches and towns along the Algarve.

Portugal - LISBON

Another fantastic trip - once again, Jeremy planned the whole thing, and it was a success! We went to Lisbon for 3 nights...

did a short day trip to Bélem...

climbed the old moorish castle (nice view!!) ...shopped...

tried to not get hit by a car...



and really just walked, toured, and ENJOYED.

Let's get started!

Can't wait to start our ladies wine tasting club... since it is a bit short notice for this Tuesday - we will start at my place on Tuesday the 20th with SPAIN! Looking forward to it.
