We've arrived...

Flight 120 to Barcelona landed safely with all 6 Ruotolos and 2 little puppies all safe and sound. We've had some adventures in getting settled, waiting 4 hours at the airport to get our puppies, Broken washing machine, missing air shipments (rumor has it we'll get it tomorrow). We've had a successful trip to Ikea to make the house a bit more liveable until our shipments arrive. The kids all pitched in to help put the furniture together. Please don't mention the crooked drawers when you come to visit.

Andrea though has successfully ordered the family a steak dinner when we went out to dinner, which ended with a slight peanut scare. Note: Chocolate desserts tend to have peanuts in them. We've learned that we need to ask before we order the dessert if it has Cacahuetes in it.

Rumor has it the missing air shipment will arrive tomorrow. Our sea shipment should be on it's heels early next week. The kids start school on Tuesday. We're all looking forward to that day.

We want to send out a super huge thanks to those who made our last weeks in Hopkinton and NJ easier and fun. We miss you all already.

hasta la vista!

I can't believe you're there already! You won't believe how much I'm missing you right now. And coming up to see you before you left made things worse.... Don't get me wrong! I don't regret it one bit! But it made me miss our IHOP days so much more.... *sniff*

Keep the adventures coming!

We miss you guys and everyone keeps asking for you!! How did the kids do on their first day of school today? Did everything go alright? Do they like it? I know it's school, but I mean like it in that they didn't have any trouble! When is a good time to call to talk to you all? Is Nick still coming back this month? Are you all coming or just him? I think about you everyday and pray that everyone will settle in and do well.

Hugs and Kisses - Love Aunt Mo

Sounds like another exciting adventure for the Ruotolos! Glad to hear you're settling in at home. Is IKEA in Barcelona like IKEA in the US? Give us some updates on your first days at school.

Milo asks for you often - even Andrea!
Love,
Aunt Kim
