detail

I´ve forgotten how to spell everything and spanish google is ruining my life.

The boys: the oldest, I think the apple of his father´s eye, which presents beaucoup issues in my opinion for the middle child, also a son, with the whole name thing. He has a serious demeanor and is more quiet, but not in a pubescent, brooding way, he´s more contemplative. He is the mediator between the younger two and looks after them very closely, you can tell they´re both crazy about him. We haven´t yet bonded over anything yet, but I´m trying to feel out his personality a bit more before I decide. He was telling me that if you win the lottery, you still have to pinch your pennies and be tight with your money. ¨You have to be really smart about it¨he said. I preceded to tell him about the boat, and clothes, and round-the-world trip I would buy if I won the lottery. He laughed and rolled his eyes. haha

the middle child- much easier to bond with, of course being the middle child he would be. outgoing and blunt and always asking me questions, but he is more volatile I think. He is going to be a tough teenager as his emotions are always running high, but he is really fun to be around. cas adores him completely. They are stuck together and even though he gets annoyed with her, she is always ALWAYS included in all their games. I don´t know how their mother did it but it´s absolutely groundbreaking. We´ve decided that we´re going to learn how to juggle by the end of the summer. stephen coles, can you hear me? He is also always helping me with spanish, making up games, quizzing me and then laughing at my pronounciations.


Both are really great and they listen at all times except when I´m asking them to do something.

a friend of theirs and he is staying for a week with us because he has been living in washington d.c.- his dad is something really cool that I won´t reveal online to protect their privacy (not cia or fbi- they´re spanish and he lived in madrid until he was 9). Now his dad is retiring so they´re moving back to madrid. its so strange to hear lucas speak perfect spanish and then talk to me in a perfectly american accent in perfect english. Its nice to have him here because he is really sweet but we can also talk about home and he understands things that I talk about, like how commercials are meaningful and there is no nudity on the news.

Today there is no wind so hopefully the boat again- I´ve already planned to save up and buy a boat within the next 45 years or so.

I love everyone.
