A bilingual blog for a binational family.
On Monday morning we all set out for the canal to take a canal tour. We’re extremely good at getting lost, but my mom and Javier are obsessed with their Copenhagen maps. So while dad and I meander around the city in our own worlds taking photos, mom and Javi would stop about every 100 […]
One thing you must know about my in-laws is that they love beer. Not in a “let’s get drunk” kind of way, but in a “let’s enjoy a good beer” way. The best known brewery in Copenhagen is Carlsberg, and luckily John and Annie hadn’t yet visited it so it was a great opportunity to […]
My sweet little niece Gia is due to arrive in August, which means we’re only a few months away from meeting the first McClure grandbaby! I’m so excited for Ian and Andrea and I can’t wait to see them as parents – I know they are going to be amazing. This weekend my mom, gma […]
You may have noticed that the posts are here are fewer and farther between, which can only mean one thing: the end of the semester is here! And we’re swamped! COMPLETELY SWAMPED. I just finished my first of two comprehensive exams this week (!!!) and the little spare time that Javi and I had last week was […]
Well, I’m pretty sure I’m all traveled out for the month of April! Javier and I just returned with my parents from a long drive home from Destin, where my cousin Andrew married his lovely new wife Camala. My parents and I drove down to Destin on Wednesday, stopping overnight in Birmingham and arriving in […]
My grandma wrote this guest post – a wonderful, detailed account for the whole family of Javier’s citizenship ceremony. We couldn’t attend because we were in Florida for my cousin’s wedding, but grandma accompanied Javier and we were so grateful she could be there with him! Thanks gma! Mi abuela escribio este post – una […]
Thanks to this guest post from Leslie’s dad John about his trip with Ian to the final 4 and championship game in Atlanta last week! Our family has been watching the Louisville Cardinal basketball team improve all year. When they won the Big East tournament, we knew they were special heading into the tournament. The […]
Plain and simple – Javier and I support marriage equality. Today the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on the first of two cases that could establish the constitutional right of LGBT individuals to marry the person they love. I’m wearing red today to support marriage equality (Javi left for work before we got the […]
March Madness is not only exciting for basketball fans, it is super exciting for Chupi and Chori!!!!!! Of course, they don’t actually know what is going on (proof: they are napping like champions while the Louisville Cardinals play their game against Colorado State.) Here at home we root for the Louisville Cardinals. Leslie grew up […]
Wooooooo we have a picnic table! Since we moved in 2 years ago I’ve been toting a folding card table between the front porch (where it belongs) and the backyard (where I occasionally like to work) and now I can be as lazy as I damn well please because we bought a wood picnic table! […]
