London Calling!!!

While Ben's parents were here, Ben and I snuck away to London for the weekend! 

It was awesome! On Friday we toured all over London... Saw all the sights... Went to Wicked in the evening and enjoyed Spanish Tapas for dinner! 

Saturday we took the train out to Windsor Castle. The weather was beautiful and it was both of our favorite part of the trip! The little town of Windsor is super cute and we had the best English Pastries! 

Sunday we went for a morning run around Hyde park, walked around downtown, and then shopped and ate at Harrods! 

It was great to get away and spend some time just the two of us... especially while we knew that the kids were safe at home with Mimi and Grampy! 

Thanks so much Steve and Ann for making the trip possible! 

Ethan's Susu Sendoff!

It was time... 

It was time for Ethan to sendoff his susu! 

This has been a LONG time coming! He really only used it at night time and sometimes on long trips... But either way, it was time for this BIG BOY to say goodbye to his susu's. 

So last Thursday we tied his susu's to balloons and sent them off "for God to take care of his susu's"! 

We started off with 6 balloons, but only ended up with 1 after the rest popped! It didn't quite have the same effect, but still did the trick! 

Ethan has done a fantastic job letting go of his precious susu. He has asked for it quite a few times... but then is very proud of himself when he wakes up from a nap or the night without his susu. 

We are proud of him too... It was a big step for this little boy! 

Sweet Baby!

I had the privilege of taking some newborn photos for some friends of ours. The couple wanted "lifestyle photos" and asked if I wanted to take some of their sweet little girl Ruth! 

She is absolutely adorable. 

It was fun to hang out with this great couple and try my hand in newborn photography!
