Allie in the South of Spain

Ok I am going to preface this post by warning that it is going to be full of pictures, more than usual since we had a pretty chock-full week of photo-worthy moments. We kicked off Holy Week (which you probably know is a big deal around these parts) with an Easter egg hunt hosted by the American Women's Club of Seville which I have belonged to for several years. It is a club for English speakers from around the world which organizes all kinds of events throughout with year and though I think maybe Laura and Vera were a bit young for this last party, I had a good time with them looking for eggs and meeting a few new moms. Domingo de Ramos or Palm Sunday is sort of the official start to Holy Week. It is customary for people to wear a new outfit on this day as they go out to see the processions taking place all over. Vera and Laura were no different, they wore new dresses and looked adorable. We went to see the procession in Jose's hometown and the weather was beautiful

Another month has come and gone and dare I say that spring has sprung in the south of Spain. It sure does feel like it! Today and for the rest of this week we are supposed to have 80 degree days and sun which will hopefully clear up Laura's continuing bronchitis. She has it yet again. And this is with me staying home with her. I can't imagine how bad it would be if she had stayed in daycare. Although admittedly I do miss having adult conversation and a life outside of my girls. Luckily Jose has some time off soon for Holy Week. Then my parents are coming for a short visit on the tail end of a trip they are taking. We haven't really been up to anything this month. Just the normal one year old stuff, playing, practicing walking, eating, music class. For that reason and since I can't imagine it is very exciting to read about the same month after month, I am switching to not-so-monthly updates, meaning I will post whenever something exciting happens or I have a spare
