Here come the Fugmanns!

Hanky's in heaven with Maureen and Ulrik

Proud Papas

Happy Nicolaj...

Afternoon with Dad

Levi, building his confidence with 1 hand

Doing his weekly loop in Regents Park with Dad....very sunny...very chilly.

Trattoria!

We have the good fortune of living 6 blocks from a fabulous cooking school in London...La Cucina Caldesi. After 3 hours of hard work, we were able to dine on delicious, homemade Italian food. Did you know the hearts of Sunflowers are not only edible but delicious in risotto?

Thanksgiving in London

Last year, John & I were still in the hospital with Levi. This year we were extremely excited to celebrate Thanksgiving as a family and with friends, enjoying all the Thanksgiving fixings .

Levi and I spent the day playing and visiting our dear friends Maureen and Nicolaj while waiting for John to finish work!


Nicolaj and Levi are merely 4 weeks apart and both have full heads of hair (and curls I might add)

Maureen and Nicolaj took us to their local park and, of course, the boys found some cars to push and ride around in

Levi was in love...

A few games of peak-a-boo before heading home to Skype our families and wish them a Happy Turkey Day

We ended the night with the most lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Courtney and Michael's. We celebrated with 8 of their friends from France, Sweden, Germany and the UK. It reminded us (again) how thankful we are for all of the truly kind and interesting people we've met over the last couple of years!

A Party fit for a King!

On the near-eve of turning 1, Levi celebrated with friends of all ages at Swiss Cottage Leisure center. Starting with an hour of swimming, followed by...


Delicious treats & big comfy couches to climb over & under.

Guests included babies to big boys....

Old friends like the Guerra's...

& special guests such as Mama Manjola, who's been our saving grace since Levi was 8 weeks old and is a mother of 3 boys (soon to be 4... gasp!)

homemade cupcakes by Dad...

& lastly, extremely proud parents of this genuinely happy & healthy boy.

A best friends birthday!

Complete with Tin Pan Annie who sang for the children...

A ball pit...

A slide that was just about the right size you could crawl up as well as slide down...


Lots and lots of yummy cupcakes and a big cake for the birthday boy...

And of course a best friend named Harry!
