Week 3

Well, let's see. This week was some of the same and some new. The weather was good for most of the week, so we made a couple outings to the park - one with our new sitter Allie. We saw Kensington Palace

And lots of beautiful flowers.

Thursday I took the boys to the Natural History Museum. Cole did his normal thing and slept a majority of the time. That could have to do with the fact that I schedule most events like this during his nap time as to minimize my chances of being out numbered in a "cranky" situation.
Cade and I enjoyed much (but certainly not all) of the fun finds here. He loved the animals, but kept asking to go back to the zoo - Guess we need to work on some concepts here.

When we got home, we discovered that our baby Cole has not one, but tow new teeth!
Friday night was also eventful, but NOT in a good way. Friday I walked down to our bedroom just in time to see a mouse scurry behind the radiator. What? Um...Steve...head to the store. Do something - fix it - I don't care what! So Steve headed out at 10:15pm and came back with the only thing they had...so now there is a bowl of poison sitting on the floor...seems safe enough with two little one don't ya think? UGH!
Saturday we headed out on another train trip. I'm growing quite fond of them to be honest with you. We headed to Bath.
We of course saw the Roman Baths - which were amazing.

We also saw the fashion museum which was a display of over 400 years of fashion. Very cool.
We saw the Royal Crescent - beautiful and fairly spectacular.




Bath Abbey

Beazer Maze


Pulteney Bridge and the river boat tour

We also enjoyed much more that what you will see in the pictures. Bath is a small town, but really, really charming and beautiful. It's super easy to get around with lots to see. Shops all around, good food and treats. Entertainers in the streets. Very, very fun.
We are very thankful for our time together as a family on the weekends and feel lucky that we get to do things we would never have done otherwise. We are becoming quite seasoned at getting around with the boys and are getting use to walking everywhere.
We are still aching for home. Anxious for our own comfortable surrounding and our "real lives" back. The week days are harder, longer and lonelier than the weekends. We look forward to family and friends visiting in July and August. Miss you all and hope to see your faces soon.

I didn't get to go there when I was in London. I guess that will give me something to do for my next adventure there...hopefully sooner than later. Glad you're having fun and experiencing some cool stuff. Please go to the Tower of London. You won't be disappointed!
