It seems like just yesterday I was writing the 2007 recap and here I’m again with the 2008 recap..

Not much has changed in the last year which is always good.. like they say “No news is Good news” and so I must tell you that we are still loving Spain and trying to make it here. This last year has been one of the hardest due to the crisis and other issues but we are definitely surviving and 2009 looks to be a very bright year for us.

Marco turned 7 this year, he is in second grade and is a little man. He loves, loves, loves soccer , everything soccer, the only thing he asked for Christmas was goalie gloves..He also received his green belt in Judo this year and got very good grades. He lost his two front teeth and really got taller .. What can I say about Marco he is one of the most lovable kids around..and I don’t say that because I’m his mother…

Bella turned 4 this year (turning 5 in February) and is just a little princess. For those of you who have met her and witnessed her tantrums will be glad to hear that they are all but almost gone.. She still has a very strong character and probably always will, but she is a little lady. She loves to sing and dance as well as put make up on, dress up and talk about her boyfriends.. Must I remind you she is only 4!!! She is doing great in school, straight A’s with the exception of one little note “She sometimes doesn’t respect her turn to talk…yea, tell us about it… She never shuts up..

Matt was busy with a lot of shows in the states and preparing his own songs and compositions to be revealed next year. He has been working hard on his Spanish which is coming along nicely and getting ready for 2009 which will be a big one, with many surprises for all of us.. His new website will be ready soon which I will share with all of you.

I finished a Web design course which I loved, I’m still blogging away, designing, translating and trying to keep up with the kids and Matt..I turned the big 40 this year and didn’t have much of a party because Matt was away but we are planning on doing something spectacular next year (right honey???). I’m feeling great and just loving life.

Precious is getting older and sleeps most of the day but the kids love to play with her and she had a great time in the Retiro in Madrid..

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! MAY 2009 BE A YEAR FULL OF LOVE, JOY AND LAUGHTER.. AND MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!!!

HAPPY 2009
