In the Shadow of the Olive Tree
“I’ll put on some music,” I said. I got up from the table and walked over to the stereo. Meanwhile, April asked for everyone’s plates and served lasagna while they talked about the upcoming Spanish elections.
I flipped through our CDs, found a favorite, and put it in the CD player. It wasn’t until after I found my seat at the table and picked up my fork and knife that I noticed April grinning at me from across the table…and why.
We were listening to In the Shadow of the Olive Tree: 29 nursery rhymes for kids.

Through your flickr account profile I came to your blog “spaindad-a baby blog” and I was very impressed about the sweetness and sensibility with which you guys describe your family life and the development of Alleke.
I just want to congratulate you for the nice pictures, for the blog and, above all, for having such a beautiful baby.
Os deseo mucha salud y felicidad con vuestra niña,
Un saludo.
Victoria
