Party Pictures

Finally some pictures from the party! The top one is a picture of the best cake I have ever had. Thank you to Joan...Josh's grandpa's girlfriend! And the decoration is dead on as Jack from JBMS...talked about in earlier entries. Davey did not go crazy in the cake like he had at the babysitters. I think he was confused as to why everyone was staring at him. He took a couple more bites while on the shoulders of his Grandpa Jan. In fact, Davey started crying once he spotted my Dad in the crowd of at least 35 people...well, until Dad picked him up, of course.

We also went out and spent some of Davey's birthday money. We went to a consignment shop in Brownstown called Second Time Around. It is all kids stuff and they have at least one of every Little Tikes outdoor equipment made! Or at least it looks that way. We bought an awesome sand box that has a crane on it and a toy crate to stay outside. We have the days counted down until summer...just 35 more days of school!

Birthday Celebrations!

Sorry that I haven't gotten another post up recently. I just got these pictures from the babysitter and HAD to share them. I have others from the party here that was on last Sunday...but those will have to wait. I can't seem to get back into the grove since Spring Break. Can jet lag affect you that much??? I think it is more like Spring Fever! I am ready for summer already!

But anywho...there is Davey enjoying a cupcake on his actual birthday on April 3rd. A before and after shot!

More will come...I just need a few more hours this week!

One Year Old!

Somehow an entire year has flown by the three of us here in Vernon. My little 7 lbs 5 oz baby that I brought home last April is now a 22 lbs toddler. How can this be? And how incredible has the change been for me and Josh to go from newlyweds to parents. I would have to say that we are handling all quite well. We are gearing up for his big party with the family tomorrow afternoon. So more pictures to come.

Davey at Piccidilly Circus...check out the double decker bus behind!

Obviously...Big Ben!

Davey playing with the barrels of gun powder in the Towor of London.

(Don't worry, they are empty!)

Tower Bridge (my favorite site)

These are some highlight pictures from London. We were able to stay with a nice family in Nottinghill that rents out their extra rooms to travelers. It worked out well. During the trip we traveled on plane, coach, bus, train, and the underground. Davey's favorite was the river cruise down the Thames. Not that he will remember it, but he had fun playing with the little girls next to us.

I wanted to give a few shout outs...Congrats to new parents Emily and Christian! Baby Carter Joseph was born last Saturday and we are eager to meet him! We hope Mom is recovering quickly. Also best of luck to Sara and Justin who just have 4 more weeks to go! I had a great time with everyone at the shower last night. It was good to see everyone again...too bad Lissa couldn't make it! Here is a pic of Dusty holding his son Ansel and Davey, too! He did a great job of watching them while the girls got to visit!
