Jet Lag Is a BEAST

So we finally made it to Madeira. For those of you who have no idea where in the world Madeira is (like me two weeks ago), we are in Portugal. A Portuguese Island just north of the Canary Islands. Yes, we somehow are back on an island but this time in a different country.

For those of you who are thinking about taking a 10 month old across the world, maybe find a babysitter! Poor poor Nikko is struggling with adjusting to sleeping when he usually is up and playing and playing when he is usually sleeping. Right now it is 1:30 a.m. and I still have not adjusted to the time difference. The good news is that Nikko is sleeping as we speak and I am praying that he won't wake up until 5 a.m. That is hopeful thinking though.

Jake however is sleeping like a champ! He has been going to practice since the day we got on the island! Anytime he has a chance to rest, he falls right to sleep. He is happy to be playing again but is already frustrated with the coach. He ran 6 miles yesterday! I think that might be why. He has a scrimmage in two weeks and he is looking forward to that. Nikko and I are too!

I have been so lucky. I haven't felt sick since we got here. There are some funk nasty smells too and they aren't making me queasy at all. The bad news is that I never sleep and don't eat as much as I need to be. I forgot how hard it is to recover from jet lag. It is MUCH harder when you have a baby and are pregnant.

I will post pictures tomorrow. I have no idea where our card reader is. Yep, we are not unpacked. Oh I forgot to mention that Continental Airlines lost all 6 of our checked bags! HA HA HA! That made our trip even more fun! Don't worry, we retrieved all of them!

So we are going to be here for 8 months and I would love to hear from all of you. It will keep me updated and know whats going on! So please drop a note if you have a second!

Love the Chrismans!
