WeLCoMe JAVIER!

We have a new son from Spain! We went to Dad and Linda's house last night and Dad took this picture of us all. Isn't it amazing how much he looks like he belongs to us??

We spent Saturday at the river with a bunch of friends - he went in a boat and tubed for the first time (Javier is completely wiping out on the tube here)! And we had a rousing game of Ultimate Frisbee and just had a great day. He was amazed at the Columbia River and Mt. Hood - they don't have anything like this in Spain.

Jacob and Jordan had a party for him that night and wow!...the girls are going crazy for this guy! It's pretty funny to watch them flock around him. Maybe the American boys will learn a thing or two about being a gentleman and polite and treating these young ladies with respect! It will be interesting to see who rubs off on who.... our lazy American ways or the suave Spaniard ways!

Soccer and water polo practices have already started and school starts next week. So...life will get crazy and hectic one more time!
