London 3

Mom, Dad and Lauren







Old city wall which dates back to the Roman Empire.

A Bobby! How cool is that?

Big Ben, which was renamed to Elizabeth Tower last year in honor of the Queen's reign.



Jackson, Jessica, and Nate in front of Westminster Abbey.



Jackson. This adorable kid slept in his stroller like a champ despite the excessive temperatures and craziness around him.

Grammy & Jackson.

The crew on the River cruise over the Thames.

London Bridge. The original London bridge is in the U.S.--Lake Havasu.

Tower of London, which was at one time a Palace, Jail and now displays the Crown Jewels--all the crowns/septers from previous kings/queens.



Luke and Mya at Wagamama. I didn't find much food that I loved in London, but Wagamama was the best. I enjoyed the Chicken Pad Thai. Mya enjoyed a buffet. Luckily, she has cousins who are sweet enough to accommodate her  begging ways ;)

This is what I get from Mya when I tell her to smile. Oh this kid!

Jess, Nate and Jackson.





Chris and Claire.
Mya and Olivia.


Chillin' in the Tower of London.




This is where the Crown Jewels are kept. It was about a 45 minute wait to get inside.





Phil, Lisa, Olivia, Luke and Ava.

Jessica, Nate and Jackson.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
