Well I thought I should post for those of you who think I may have fallen off the face of the earth. I really have no good excuse for not posting more often, I just choose to do other things. Right now I'm in Bermuda and ready to go home. Don't get me wrong, I've had a great time here but I've been traveling since November 19th and I'm just missing my own house, my own  car, my own things and of course all of my Christmas decorations. Before I left I put most of my decorations up except for the tree and a few other things.

I'm trying to keep busy here which is helpful. So far I've done something everyday. I've taken Colton to the zoo/aquarium, Kindermusic, gymnastics, and over to a friends house. On Saturday night we are watching the boat parade at the Dingy Club. For those of you who don't know it's a parade of boats and it takes place at night because each boat is decorated with a mass amount of Christmas lights. We're leaving on the 14 which will give me just over a week to finish all my Christmas shopping, I really don't have much left so I think I'll be okay. This may sound crazy but I'm actually looking forward to the snow.

In other news, Colton is going to be a big brother! I'm due on June 4th and we will be finding out the sex of the baby in mid-January.

I am so horrible

I know that I've been neglecting this site, I've joined the world of facebook and that is quite addictive. I've also been busy planning Colton's birthday party so... anyway I'll post some pics because I know that is what everyone wants.

FINALLY...about London

  Since we got back from London 2 weeks ago and I haven't updated I figure it's better late than never so here is how it went.

I have to start off saying that Colton is a WONDERFUL traveler, he amazed everyone we were with by (for the most part) being the perfect baby. The bassinet on the plane was broken on our overnight flight to Gatwick but Colton slept in our arms quite contently. The time change was only five hours so it didn't take too long to get used to (it certainly could've been worse).

The second day we were there the timed trials of the Tour de France ran right in front of our apt. so we watched that for awhile. It wasn't a herd of bikers like in all of the other legs, they released the riders 1 minute apart so it took all day. We also saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, the Tower of London, the crown jewels, Windsor Castle, the changing of the guard, two shows - Lion King and Wicked, Piccadilly circus, Madame Tussauds, Wax Museum and so much more.

We certainly kept busy each day. It was a great treat that Chris' grandparents came, they watched Colton a few times so I could enjoy the sites. The Perry's took us to lots of great restaurants and I'm sure we all ate too much food. I do have to warn you that if you get the fish & chips in London they are very greasy. It seems as though I strolled Colton half way around London and he was quite content in his stroller. He learned to crawl while we were in London and he got another tooth (8 total now). Since we've been back he has been such a handful, getting into everything and wanting whatever it is that he can't have. He's keeping me busy as well as spending time with Emma & Ellie.

Today I went with Hannah on her first big outing, we went to the local breast feeding support group. We had the cousins in the back seat of Hannah's Yukon and it was so cute because Colton was looking over and holding Emma's car seat, then he dangled a toy over to "give" her. Adorable.

I'M AN AUNT!!!!

The girls came on July 15th. Emma Lynn came out first and Ellie Rae came out 3 minutes later. The little stinkers couldn't wait until I got back from London on the 16th, but I went right up to the hospital as soon as I could to see them (even though I had been awake for 23 hours at that point). THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, ADORABLE and SO PERFECT!! I love them! They are such little girly-girls, their little cries and wimpers just sound so girlish. Colton is a proud big cousin and believe me, he looks quite big next to one of the girls. Their fingers are very long and I think they will be great piano players in a few years : ) anyway enough talk about them, lets see some pictures!
