It's time for another, new adventure in the Nykamp family.

The kids are most excited about the plane trip (two aisles and individual video screens!). Duane and I are hopeful even more exciting things await us than travel day. :)

Daniel is also eager for his birthday to arrive. Our first full day in Barcelona, Daniel will turn six. Party supplies are packed. I considered packing a cake mix, but decided finding a cake in a new place sounds like a task we are ready to take on!

As to be expected, the kids are concerned about language learning and making friends. We are too. Another concern is finding a good school for Charles and Daniel.

Last night some good friends came over for dinner. They made a bull pinata for the kids. What fun! Thanks Fred, Susan, Julia and Luke!

Dear family and friends, we will miss all of you and look forward to seeing you again! Let's keep in touch.
