Scones, Baguettes & Pan Dulce




Well we just had a great visit from our friends and fellow Churchplanters from Marsellei, the Nuno's . We had a packed house with 5 kids, 3 and under. Daniel loved having so many friends over...he and Jubilee played happily in the dirt..just chatting away, who knows how much was understood in the exchanges, but they had a great time. Whatever Jubilee said Daniel would just respond, "oh, cool."

The Girls loved babying Jesse, and he loved all the attention. It was so sweet seeing the boys become little buddies holding hands all over town, walking like big boys...

Summer Fun...


Well the boys have been keeping busy this Summer... Jesse is catching up to Daniel Quickly, he has gone from sitting, to scooching on his tummy commando style, to crawling, to pulling himself up within a matter of weeks. Daniel has been having a great time teaching him to do all sorts of things, his favorite thing to do is pretend he is in charge he makes sure Jesse knows when it is nap time....even goes and gets him a blankie.





Daniel's newest pastime is cooking, he particularly gets inspired when Nigela Lawson is on TV, He watches the show from the Kitchen counter and gathers all of his ingredients an gets to work... His latest creation, Sal con Atun y Cream Crackers.mmmm!
(Don't worry I didn't let him eat it...we saved it for Daddy)

Great Weekend...


Friday Night Brandon and I celebrated the 1o year ann. of our first date... We tried to recreate the day here in London...Even found a little place called "Ed's" claiming to be the Original...just like Johnny Rockets. We displayed some restraint, and ordered only a small starter, chili Fries and milk shakes. We racked our brains trying to remember what our conversation would have been like ten years ago...On that date we discovered we had a few things in Common, we had both read a book called lobster boy, a shared interest in conspiracies and a desire explore the world...



Saturday we went to the Innocent Fete, in Reagent's Park, to Celebrate the big 3 0...

There was all sorts of fun stuff going on line dancing, ferret racing and displays of dog agility and free smoothies, we had a birthday picnic under a nice shady tree and enjoyed some good ol' American Funk.

As you can see here it was a hot day, Jesse dressed appropriately.












Brandon took the boys for a birthday walk early Sunday morning. It was the perfect opportunity to use the Wagon Abuelita and Mike Sent. The boys Loved it, they waved at everyone they pass and even decided to take a little break from their busy day

A little cramped but enough room for a little nap...

All the guys from the Freedom house pitched in and surprised Brandon with some awesome gifts...thanks guys for making this a Birthday to remember!
