London

We had a GREAT time in London for our 10 year. One of the main reasons for choosing London was so we could go to a couple of shows. We picked Wicked and Phantom of the Opera. What can I say? I absolutely LOVED Wicked. I really liked Phantom, too, but I had seen it before, so the thrill wasn't quite to so big. The last pic is the only one I got at Phantom. We ate here twice it was so good. All in all, a great trip. A big thanks to Anne and Steve for keeping the girls so we could go.




And here are a few of the sights we saw.

A Few Easter Pics

Here are a few of the pics we took from Easter and Jake's parents visit. The rest are on Jake's camera, so hopefully, at some point I'll get those up, too.

Of coure, we went to Ribs, and this time Katy got to participate a little.

My How Time Flies

10 years!!! How is this possible? We're off to celebrate our wedded bliss.

Just so i don't forget

Katy's list of current abilities...

Top middle 2 teeth are in.
Dances to music whenever she hears it.
Stands alone.
Takes 2-3 steps without holding on to anything.
Hands us the book, Good Night Moon, and demands we read it by squealing really loudly.
Grabs our hands and claps them together to play Patty Cake.
Cries whenever Mommy or Daddy leave the room.
When we get her out of bed from sleeping she takes the binky out of her mouth and throws it back in the bed.

Are you kidding me?

Did you know you can custom design your own shoes? Well, I didn't and I am FREAKING out at all the cuteness over at zazzle. I'm drooling over these cuties right now. Oh, why does my birthday have to be so far away?

Any suggestions?

My hair and I are not on very friendly terms right now. So, I'm taking suggestions for what to do with it. Leave me a comment or send me an email with your ideas. Pics are nice.

In other news:
Katy is now getting her 2nd set of teeth, the two front middles. I can feel them, but not really see them yet. She can wave hi, does a little dance when we say, "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle" and kicks her feet on command. And is cruising around furniture.

Abby got a place at the bilingual school we were hoping to get into. She has entered the "anatomically correct" stage of drawing. Thankfully, it's only animals for now. Pics to come soon, hopefully.

We had a rousing round of stomach bug this weekend, but seem to be over that now. As I type this, Abby is coughing in her bed, could be a long night.

I'm pretty sure I'll never see the bottom of my laundry baskets again, or possibly the floor space directly surround them.

I've lost my cell phone.

Many exciting things are happening with the work here in Vienna.

Happy Tuesday, everyone.
