To inaugurate the blog, we have a collection of pictures from the past months, featuring a lovely visit from our parents, a growing belly and some day-to-day images of springtime in Asturias.
---------
Becky and Charles (Mom and Dad) came to visit us in Spain last month and let us fill their week here to the brim with a road trip along the Asturian coast and then down to the stunning city of Salamanca.

All the while, our son continues to grow and bounce around in my belly and fill us with anticipation of his impending arrival.

That is all for now. I cannot figure out how to upload any more photos. More to come in upcoming days as Bernardo finishes teaching little ones at the conservatory here in Mieres for the summer and wraps up this semester of his music therapy masters program in Salamanca and I finish up work in the hospital and transition into much-awaited maternity leave. We hope that you are all well.

Yaaaaaaahoooo! This is a beautiful blog, you two are amazing writers and photographers, so I am very excited that you have chosen this medium as a way of keeping the world abreast of the Canga-Leader family developments. As far as those pics go -- beautiful! Mr. Leader looks like he belongs on a Plaza in Salamanca, and the photo of you and your mother is stunning. I wonder what those dogs thought of your belly?! Glad the summer is drawing near and that you and Berni will get to shift your focus inward as we all await the healthy arrival of the little boy.
Hi you two! This should be Alex's last week of work, yes? Nothing better! You'll wake up that first day and realize all you HAVE to do is prepare for that little boy!
Also wanted to wish Bernie a Happy Father's Day. You already are a parent extraordinaire. One lucky little boy on the way!
Have a great week you three! Love, The Stockmans all
Dear Alex, Bernie, Mario and Roberto--and soon to be born wonderful new Canga--Congratulations on your birthday Bernie. You two look so great. I hope your little ones' concert went great, and maternity leave is long enough to allow much rest and readiness, and then tons of fun-filled care, and as much sleep as possible. So nice to see your parents in place in your beautiful home. Keep us posted! love, Aunt Gretchen, Mikey and Joe.
p.s. Erica is due any day now. Will let you know! xxxooo.
