Bellaterra

Papa returned from Germany on Monday evening. Mama and I walked to the train station to meet him.

We picked delicious moras (blackberries) on the way home.

Pepe and Neus

Neus and Pepe came to Anna´s house to play with us.

It is hard to see here, but Neus has a baby in her belly just like Mama does.

Pepe is a real clown. . .

and so am I!!!!

Adventures in Suburban Farming

Today I helped Brenda and Antonio to pick potatoes from Anna´s garden. At first I thought they were rocks.

In the afternoon we visited Antonia who lives on a beautiful mountain outside Sabadell. Antonia took us to a house where we fed turtles and gathered eggs from the chicken coup.

I ate 2 of those eggs for dinner and they were delicious.

Thank you Antonia!!!!

We Made It to Spain!

My mom and I left Boston on Wednesday evening. Our wonderful friends Deb and Jasper brought us to the airport and wished us a ´Bon Voyage´.

First we flew 6 hours to London and landed at 6 in the morning on Thursday. We waited 5 hours in the airport to fly to Barcelona. Finally, after a 2 hour plane ride, we arrived! Anna picked us up at the airport and we were so tired!

Anna cooked a feast for lunch with Brenda, my cousin Clara and her friend (they are visiting from Geneva). Then I played for a long time until going to sleep for the whole night.

This morning mom and I woke up at 10:30! Now we feel much better.

SUPER EXCITED

Tomorrow I get to take an airplane and see Grandma Anna!

Papa's Tomato

looks good

tastes better

Remember Our Lego Tower?

I Love You Papa!!!!

I hope your nose isn't as runny as mine. Mom and I have been missing you. We hope you are feeling good in Bonn. Stay cool or warm - depending on the AC and heat wave conditions. Big hugs from the States!

Summertime Swim

On Saturday we had a big barbeque. The swimming pool was a hit.

From the left that's Ivan, Alexander, and Lyla.

buena cosecha

Hoy toca cosecha de tomates.



Aunque yo les llamo "berries".



Porque seamos sinceros,



entre un tomate y una fresa no hay tanta diferencia! ;-)

Where is Andrés?

There he is!!!!!

Our New Car

We graduated from our little green 2 door VW GTI to a 4 door Kia Rondo wagon. My parents are really growing up.

I modeled the cars on the showroom floor. I wish our Kia was this color. . . .

Test Drive. Steering wheel looks good but I'm not sure what's happening on the road. I guess I'll wait a few years to try this outside.

Mom's super excited driving home from the dealership. You can't see me but I'm in the back seat enjoying the rear ventilation.

That's our Kia from behind. Pretty cute!

Polo de coco

Hoy de postre me he comido un polo de coco. Bueno, era el polo de mi
mama, pero estaba claro que me lo iba a comer yo...

I am Learning to Count!

4th of July

For the 4th of July we rode our bikes to see the fireworks on the Charles River. Memorial Drive was closed to traffic and filled with people celebrating Independence Day. I stayed up very late and when the fireworks started I said, "No! No! No!" But when they stopped I pointed up to the sky and said "Boom boom! More!"

Walden Pond and de Cordova Museum

Last week I was busy with Maya and Grandma and Grandpa's visit so I forgot to post pictures of a few memorable experiences. . .

Here I am on July 3 with Dad and Mom (behind the camera) at Walden Pond.

After a hike around the pond, a picnic and a swim, we went to the de Cordova Sculpture Park. The giant sculptures were really cool. And this xylophone was my favorite.

Summer Day on the Farm

Today I went to Drumlin Farm with Grandma, Grandpa and cousin Maya who are visiting from LA.

I climbed a giant fallen tree.

Papa and I drove a very old tractor.

Mama compared her big belly to the pigs' big bellies.

I found someone familiar hiding in this mural.

I made friends with a giant sheep.

And I entertained Maya weighing some eggs. It was a very fun (and very hot) day on the farm.
