The Beautiful Alhambra

Here it goes. I finally got all the pictures from our family vacation. Now I'm attempting to blog it. Our first stop, the beautiful Granada home of the Alhambra. It consists of a huge Moorish castle and amazing gardens. It's so spectacular some people (me included) think the Alhambra should be one of the 7 wonders of the world. It was a great way to start off the trip.








We were in the gardens that look over the castle















Throughout the week Mac
took most of his naps on
our shoulders.
He was such a trooper!

Father's Day

When Mother's Day came around Drew went to great efforts to make the day special. I wish I could say the same about Father's day. For Drew's first Fathers day we were in Rome running around seeing as many things as we could. Needless to say it wasn't a normal fathers day. Next year he'll get the breakfast in bed and all the other things we all do on Father's Day.
Drew really is a great dad. Mac adores him. Everyday when Drew comes home from work, I get Mac excited by saying, "Daddy's here." Without fail Mac starts bouncing and giggling. By the time we meet Drew on the drive way Mac is freaking out and practically jumping in Drew's arms. Nothing makes Drew happier.

We made it

We made it to Spain and it wasn't easy. We flew to Cincinnati where our flight was delayed and therefore we would not make it to our connecting flight in JFK where we were suppose to meet my family and all fly togther to Rome. Drew was amazing he rearranged our flight plans so we could make it to Malaga around the same time my family would arrive. To make a long story short after A LOT of running and talking to multiple Delta reps at every layover (Amsterdam and Madrid) we made it to Malaga. My parents were suppose to be at the airport to take us to our hotel but they weren't. Six hours later their flight came in. They had missed their flight in Rome and got on the next flight to Malaga. We were finally together. The only problem was the airline lost all our luggage. It made things interesting the first two days. Luckily me and my mom and sister wear the same size and my mom just so happened to bring Mac some clothes.

Mac did amazing. Everyone on the plane commented on how good he was. On the flight it had bassinets in the bulk head (life saver). Mac slept five hours during the long 9 hour flight to Amsterdam.

Raven Run

In light of our upcoming trip we decided to go hiking and try out our backpack. At first Mac loved the new view. He laughed and babbled the whole way to the cliff. On the way back was another story, he was tired and just wanted to be held. So, Drew and I took turns carrying him. Lets just say both our backs were hurting Sunday morning.



Mac looks totally smashed but he really was comfortable.






So tired --4

It's getting hot in here

Right now it's 79 degrees inside our house. Our air conditioner broke yesterday and since it was Memorial day we wont be seeing the fix-it man until tomorrow. Luckily our friends lent us their fan and it's been doing a good job keeping us somewhat cool.If you look close you can see Mac's hair being blown by the fan
At first Mac was terrified of the fan but quickly changed his mind

Mr. Possum


I had just gotten home and I was feeding Mac when a possum walked up to our door. A live possum. Out here in Kentucky you get to see plenty of dead possums but rarely do you see a live one. Now, I had seen him before but didn't get a picture and it's bothered me since. I yelled for Drew to take a picture but he wasn't getting the job done. I passed Mac to him, grabbed the camera and ran outside. The possum had quickly made it's way to the front yard and was back by the fence. I was in my bare feet and climbing around in the brush, trying to get a good shot. It was all worth it because I did get a decent picture. Check it out.

Eating while jumping what more could you ask for

Getting Mac to eat solids has not been easy. Not only does he not care for the solids themselves but he gets bored. So we tried something new. We put Mac in his jumper and fed him. It was a mess but he loved it. He ate the whole bowl of barley.









It's always messy when drew feeds Mac
