A Little News...

This summer was a whirlwind, with finishing my Masters, visiting family, and trying to enjoy time off. In Madrid we found out our lives are going to be a full time whirlwind come March because we are expecting Baby K in March! 

I honestly still feel like it is a dream and it really hasn't hit me, although Baby K is starting to show. I have dreamed my whole life of having a baby and starting a family and praise God it's happening.  I have had a great pregnancy so far (knock on wood).  I haven't felt sick and have been sleeping like a rock. I think my only "normal/traditional" symptom is my energy level is low. 

After telling our families we made our announcement official by posting these pictures on Facebook.  Our friends and family were so sweet and sent so many messages of love for us and Baby K. 



I told my class through a game of hangman.  It was probably the most adorable thing ever.  They had NO CLUE and one by one solved the puzzle.  Finally they all figured it out and were crying and screaming.  They have been so sweet and ask about "the baby" everyday.



We find out the sex on Monday, October 13th.  I'm pretty sure its a boy, which Jess should be happy about because that means I won't buy as many clothes. :)  Needless to say we are beyond thrilled and pray daily for little bump to grow healthy and strong.

Biking Madrid

Just a little update...this past weekend we decided to play the tourist card, and we hit the jackpot. We did two tours, a biking tour in the morning, and a wine and tapas tour in the late evening. Sadly, I didn't take many pictures during the second tour, I was too busy eating and drinking! Both were fantastic and helped us to appreciate all of Madrid's culture. 
From top left clockwise: The Royal Palace, posing for a picture in front of the palace, biking the streets, our transportation for the day. 
If you're ever in Madrid I highly recommend Bravo Bike. We spent about 4 hours cruising around the city with our wonderful guide Sebastian.  He was so knowledgeable and had a great personality.  We saw ALL the sights and got a frame of reference of where everything is.  Of course it wouldn't be Spain without stopping for a glass of wine along the way.

Biking is not as easy as I remember it, I almost fell a couple of times! 
I could spend month exploring this beautiful and historical town and still I wouldn't finish.  It's been great having Jess here so the #kuemstravel continues...
