Dear Nana and Aunt Amy,

It was wonderful having you stay with us and we were very sad to see you go. Six days together seemed to fly by so quickly! Getting GG that ticket to Barcelona for her 85th birthday was a great idea and we're happy we had the time together that we did.

We can't thank you enough for all you did while you were here. Thank you for waking up with Emily. For bringing us such lovely gifts from The States. For doing the dishes, babysitting, changing diapers, helping us finish that bottle of Kahlua, chasing after Emily in the park and teaching her how to count. Thank you.

And what a stroke of luck to have you visit during Barcelona's Grec Festival! Watching Eiji Oue conduct Carmina Burana was a trip and Complicite's A Disappearing Number was an unforgettable experience for me. I'm glad we were able to see them all together.

The current plan is to try to get to your neck of the woods sometime in early December but we've got a lot on our plate between now and then. We'll let you know as soon as we've finalized our travel plans.

Again, thank you for making the long trip to come out here and see us. With Emily growing up so quickly, it's nice to have family around to see (and inspire) some of these epic milestones. Speaking of which, here is a video of that night Amy taught Emily how to count. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I walked through the door!
