letters from barcelona (#3)

Our dear babies,

We just finished day three here in Barcelona. It was a bit different than our previous two days in the city, because daddy had to work. He went to bed really late, at around 4:30am and got up and left the hotel for work at 7am to make sure that all of the little jobs that Daddy has are handled before all of the big important people arrive. While waiting to get in to the convention center, which is called "the fira" (Fear-ah) it started to snow for a few minutes. Daddy thought that his fingers just might fall off. He was hoping to only be at the convention center for a few hours, but he ended up being there for most of the day, which bummed mommy out. But we got together for lunch at this yummy Indian restaurant, which was really really yummy. After lunch Mommy wasn't bummed any more, because tasty food makes all those grumpy feelings go away.

We were going to go to a concert tonight to watch a famous Flamenco dancer perform, but daddy misread the tickets, and discovered his error right as they were walking out the door. Although we missed the dance performance, we weren't about to let this stop our night, especially with it being Valentine's Day and all. So we hopped in a taxi and went out to eat. The food was good, but the desserts were amazing. We ordered second helpings...yes it was THAT good. :) We enjoyed ourselves so much, that we forgot to take pictures!

It was really fun to be out together. To talk about all sorts of things including how much we love you little rascals. We were really really excited to talk with you on the phone. You each make us smile really big, and bring more happiness to our lives than you may ever know. We love you very much, and want to make sure that you know that, especially on this day of days, when we take a moment to express our love for. You really are our sunshine and our very special valentines. We also love each other very much, and are thrilled to have found each other and to be a real family.

After dinner we caught a cab home, and we were horrified to find that our cab driver was smoking. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! Your mommy doesn't do well with smoke, and it makes her very sick. So sick, in fact, that we had to have the driver pull over several blocks from the hotel, because mommy was afraid she would "lose her lunch", after we got out she immediately started feeling better...sometimes you just need to take a walk.

We are glad that you are having such a great time, and we think of you often.

We love you. Love you more. Love you most. Love you more than anything.

Mom and Dad.
