A perfect Sunday in Regent's Park

We met up with our dear friends Simon & Serena and their darling boys Felix, Freddie and Oscar. It was a hot afternoon and we did it all..

The boys warmed up for the tennis match on the new mega cool spinning toy (Felix in the middle)

Followed by a strenuous hour on the courts (the boys just returned from a week long tennis camp in Barcelona). Needless to say JWG and & I lost...

Followed by homemade fried chicken and potato salad...

and a crisp Sancerre

a few snuggles of course

and the boys even starred in an impromtu drama play

Finished off the day with ice cream cones. Now that's a proper English summer day at Regents Park!

Guess who's turning 92?

FRONT OF LEVI's ONESIE: "I'm 91 years older than you! Guess who I am?"

BACK OF LEVI's ONESIE: GGMA! (made of course by Grandma B)

I can proudly say our Grandma B (Levi's GGMA) is turning a whopping 92 today! She not only jet sets to Hawaii every year, but she also does multiple visits to California and she even celebrated her 91st birthday in London with us last year! If that doesn't impress you, how about a 98/100 on her driver's test last year (practical and written). Aside from all of this, she's still has her charm, she's healthy and still has marbles!

Grandma B in London on her 91st Birthday!

4 generations...not bad! I'd say we have pretty good genes...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA B! WE LOVE YOU!

A Sunday at Harry's House!

Harry and Kristi always come to us, so we decide it was time to go to them! We took the train to SW London and hung out at the Gulliver Maison for an afternoon. Feasted on lamb, bbq sausages, amazing salad (I have a new fav recipe) and a delicious chocolate mousse dessert made by Kristi's darling mum.

Harry and Levi continued to try and play with the same toy (seems to be a pattern)

We all hung out with full bellies on Kristi and Ben's lovely garden space.

Levi was in heaven because Harry has a bazillion cool toys!

Finally we get the husbands to join us for an afternoon (was such a treat to have JWG and Ben with us)

Proud Papas of the boys who are only 45 min a part in age (and born in the rooms next door to each other)

An afternoon at the Adamo flat

Levi spent the afternoon admiring Baby Ivy (now 3 months) while Court and I tried to squeeze in a Babyccino power session!

Baby Ivy is near 3 months and is pacing to look like her mama (lucky girl)!

Big brother Easton was very sweet to get some of his former baby toys out for Levi. Little brother Quin missed this play session as he was snoozing away.


No more than 5 minutes away from Court's house and Levi was fast a sleep (he's definitely my baby).

Texan Aunties come to town

Auntie Betty & Joan visited us for 2 weeks. We took them to some of our favorites spots and even joined them on some of their tourist outings.

The Aunties love their Levi...(at the British Musuem)




And of course Baby Hank.
