Yum....
You see, these 'digestives', as they call them in England, are probably the reason I gained 10 pounds during my semester in London.
And now my local grocer has them in stock.
Even though their name is not all that appealing, they are tasty 'biscuits' (more like graham crackers to us Americans) that can be used to dip in tea, slather some peanut butter or nutella over or just eat plain.
Let's hope I can resist them because I've still got some baby weight to lose, much less some London weight.

Dance Party!
Arianna was creating some fun of her own dancing around the house. She requested I take pictures of her every move, then she would come running to the camera to see what her moves looked like. And back out to the dance floor (aka living room), she'd try perfecting the move to her own level of satisfaction.
The dance party only had one attendee due to this event on the other side of the room:
Did I fail to mention that this precious 2nd born child woke at 4:30 am this morning and never went back to sleep until, oh, around 3pm when this picture was taken???

First Out of State Trip
Our trip to Indiana (almost 3 weeks ago) was the first out of state trip for Arianna and Bernie.
The theme of the trip was to play, play, play!
When we arrived at 8 in the morning, we played with Paps on the floor.
In the afternoon, after we attempted naptime, cousin Jen and cousin Joe (not pictured) came to meet Bernie and Arianna.
The kids decided that the ottomans were nice platforms to jump off, especially if Grandma was willing to catch us.
After dinner, Uncle Randy, Aunt Diane, and Joe came over. Uncle Randy loved chasing them and snatching their blankets away. Bernie yanked his blanket back and declared "Mine!"
And that was only the first day.
The next day we found out Uncle Josh arrived!
Some of us went to the park while Bernie was napping.
That evening we headed to Newburgh to eat dinner at Uncle Randy's house.
Aunt Diane gave us our own table to color on and blocks to play with. And everyone else must have been eating, but we were too busy to do that!
Then they let us go outside.
Boy, oh boy! A nice yard, a swingset and treehouse, a fun wagon to go down the hills and basketball!
First stop: Swings
Then we got adventurous and let Uncle Randy take us up the treehouse.
Don't miss how opposite the expressions are on their faces.
The older kids must've been bored and took over the swings.
Some of Joe's old toys had been dug out, so we took Aunt Diane's advice and rolled the wagon down the slopes.
Finally we ended the night with lots of basketball.
Day Three
Mesker Park Zoo
Bernie saw how close he could get to the animals and immediately wanted out of the stroller.
After a while we had to take a break because it was so hot.
We were extremely close to the giraffes and also saw 5 zebras.
And all that pretty much sums up our trip.
It was nice to come home, especially when you arrive to new kitchen ceramic tile, new living room paint and the start of a new master shower!
Thank you Marty for working non-stopped on your supposed "break".

We're Back and We Survived!
After 30 hours of driving, with 2 toddler and 3 adults, in a 5 person pick-up truck, we are home!
But first, I want to share that the night before the trip, when I met up with 2 of my closest friends from high school (and frightening enough, the 10 year reunion is in ONE year).
Larissa (left) is a travelling nurse and currently working in New York City, but was able to come home during a break in her contract. Kelly (right) resides in Chicago, however she just put her condo up for sale, to move back to Florida!!!
We went to an authentic greek restaurant in the heart of the Tarpon Springs sponge docks. Afterwards, we went through yearbooks and caught up with each other, with the people we miss, or don't miss, from high school.
Until I get more time to upload pictures and write longer stories (in case you aren't aware, there is lots of laundry to do when you return from a trip), I will leave you with one of my favorite pictures taken while visiting my grandparents.
