Updates...


Ally is doing great! They have internet in her apartment and so we got to Skype with her yesterday. She looks great, is very happy, and the house mom, Pilar, is a great cook and so Ally is well fed too. And she isn't sick anymore, thank goodness! The University is within walking distance and the little town, Alcala, is absolutely beautiful. It is about 20 minutes outside of Madrid. They have gone sight seeing, touring and shopping. School started today...hope that went well too.
In this picture Ally said that Madrid is right outside the window.

We just finished talking to Amy...it is so crazy that we just saw her and talked to her while she was sitting in her room in Taiwan and it is 2:30pm tomorrow there! It was nap time for the kids (they take a two hour nap everyday!) Amy and Stacy's apartment is right above the preschool and so they get to go upstairs and do whatever they want for those two hours. Usually they take a nap too...or prepare for their next lesson. It is fun to hear her crazy stories about the food they have eaten, the cute kids, teaching salsa dancing to a Taiwaneese 15 year old, lov'in the cute little pre-schoolers, trying to figure out lesson plans everyday, and looking forward to her $20 hour and a half massage.

As for what I did today... I got to watch this cute little (well, not so little) guy...Mr. Levi. He is so dang cute you just want to kiss those chubby cheeks every minute. He is rolling everywhere and loves to laugh!
We also had a play date with Olivia and Kate at McDonald's. Olivia's hurt eye from the dog that bit her on Christmas is getting better. She has to wear a protective plastic cover over it so it doesn't get bumped, but she will be getting the stitches out next week. Those two sure love each other!
