On Wednesday we headed down to Dorset (Alison’s Country Home) for a relaxing last few days. As we were driving we happened upon Stonehenge – so we had to do a quick walk around. Stonehenge is quite a site –… Continue Reading →

Today was a very relaxing day for us. We are staying with Alison in Clapham and woke up to a beautiful sunny (yes there is sun in england) day! We had tea and toast in the back garden and elsie… Continue Reading →

We drove into London this afternoon (after a quick stop at the Dragon School for Boys in Oxford) to have dinner with Glynn, Cindy, Peter and Anika. Elsie was named for Elspeth (Mark’s Mom) and Elspeth was named for her… Continue Reading →

On Sunday we headed to Steeple Aston to visit the Kewley family (Jan is Mark’s godmother). We didn’t get a photo of the B&B we were staying at in Badsey until now and Mark wanted everyone to see that we… Continue Reading →

Today was our very first English Wedding – We arrived at the church in Badsey and walked in with our pram seated right by the videographer (a great way to ensure that Tom and Lucy hear Elsie’s cries over their… Continue Reading →

Today was a day of relaxed touring of lots of little villages around the cotswolds (cotswolds refers to the type of stone used to build the villages). We went for tea and scones which were served with this butter-esque stuff… Continue Reading →

Elsie has been a great baby – for the first three weeks she was sleeping close to 18 hours a day and just happy as can be. We kept quiet about it hoping not to jinx it – but somehow… Continue Reading →

She loves baths just like her mom! Sorry I don’t have photos of her in the tub (Grammie those are on your pink camera!) but this slippery little sucker requires 2 sets of hands to wash and hold on to…. Continue Reading →

whoever invented snaps is brilliant – and whoever decided to make baby clothes that completely unsnap and then snap back up is even more brilliant. These fantastic jammie suits are just what the middle of the night pants changer ordered…. Continue Reading →

Michael has been visiting us and taking little miss elsie in, and just like us, he thinks she is cute as a button. Of course when Michael is around you will also always have shiny silver! 🙂

this is definitely a life skill when you have a munchkin.

Its official! We received Elsie’s passport this morning so we are set for our England Holiday. I still think its crazy she needs a passport, but the US government thinks she could be a terrorist. I guess some people could… Continue Reading →
