BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Dad has decided to remarry! We couldn’t be happier! We had a wonderful dinner at Gerry’s house (a/k/a Nana). Can you believe the camera fanatic forgot her camera?

DAY OF HELL! I’m sometimes known for telling it like it is and saying that today was the day of hell just about sums it up! How ever bad we imagined today would be paled in comparison to how it actually … Continue reading

Can you believe we spent our last day in London shopping? Well we did! John and a friend of his went to see a criminal trial while Poppy and I took the 3 boys back to Harrods and then to Hamleys Toy … Continue reading

Today was the big day .. Ben and Helen’s wedding. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a more beautiful wedding dress. Helen’s great-grandmother wore the dress in 1907. It was Victorian and absolutely exquisite! Carter and Nathan were the flower children and did … Continue reading

Well, we did it again – slept later than we wanted. We aimed for 7am but got up at 9am. We headed downstairs for breakfast and then we were off to the London Zoo.  Carter and Nathan (and the adults too) had … Continue reading

Well, so much for waking up early and getting a head start on the day – the alarm never went off (yes, I set it!) but we didn’t wake up until 9:15. We rushed to get ready and ran downstairs to … Continue reading

What a day! I finally feel like a true tourist! Unfortunately we slept through the alarm and we didn’t get up until 9:00. We met up with Lance and Carol and had a wonderful but late breakfast. Carol made my day by beaming me … Continue reading

The jet lag must be much worse than I thought – we ALL slept until 11:00! I would normally have been grateful for the extra sleep but with everything in London closing at 6:00pm that means that we wasted most of … Continue reading

Unfortunately, last night wasn’t as restful as I had hoped. I got into bed around 10:00 and Carter came waltzing in. I put him in bed with me but he woke up again around midnight. We both got back to sleep and then … Continue reading

Technically this is a continuation of yesterday but it felt like a good place to “break” the story. With London traffic it was a rather long ride to our hotel but the view was exquisite! We got checked in at the hotel … Continue reading

What a whirlwind day! We got up at the crack of dawn and finished (okay, started) our packing. We finished at 4pm, without a minute to spare, and headed to Susan’s house. Susan graciously volunteered to take us to the airport so we … Continue reading

We all piled in the car and headed down to Miami to see Grandma, Uncle Lance, Cousin Jeff and Cousin Miriam. As usual, the ride down was a lot better than the ride back home. The whole way down the boys were … Continue reading

We had a wonderful visit in Miami today. The boys were head over heels in love with Grandma & Uncle Lance! They couldn’t give Grandma enough kisses and loved playing with Uncle Lance more than with mommy!!

We had a spectacular day at New Smyrna Beach.  It was quite a switch because Carter loved the water and Nathan didn’t.  I think Poppy had a blast seeing the boys in the ocean (I know mama did)!
