Nannie Judie comes to Barcelona!

Barcelona welcomed yet another Williams family member a few weeks back...Nannie Judie!!! (aka, Chris's mother).  We had been talking about her arrival with the children in the weeks leading up to her visit, so Evan was well aware that Nannie would be taking a "big plane to Spain" (his words), and said so every morning when he woke up.  Still, the look on his face when he came out of school and saw her standing there was priceless.  He stood grinning shyly, like it was Brad Pitt who came to pick him up.  Adorable. 

I'd say the week was a smashing success. Lots of down time with the kiddos punctuated by some great sighting, and even a day trip up to the south of France, in Collioure. There was a fabulous paella dinner with just the three of us down in the Olympic village, a nice quiet afternoon at Sagrada Familia, trips to the large Boqueria, and strolls through the Gothic labyrinth (with screaming child in tow, but still...). We drank lots of wine, ate lots of olives, and had a lot of great conversations...We miss you already, Judie, come back soon!!!
