Since our return from Canada life has returned to its slower (sometimes excruciatingly so) pace. We spend our days visiting park district pools, hooking up to internet from our back porch, or watching Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs for the 1,000th time. We try to sleep in, but that is practically impossible with a two year old in the house.

We are still waiting on the boys visas to be approved. It is a little disconcerting that the children's visas are taking the longest in the entire process. We recieved word that our shipment of belongings will arrive in Spain before we do at this point.

We are headed to Michigan for a few days, then we wait out the visa process...
