The week before Thanksgiving, Audrey, Britton, and I headed down to San Diego to see the Grandparents (That and Chris was traveling for work for the week). I was a bit worried to travel alone with both kids for the first time, but actually it went really well. I think the key was scheduling the short flight during lunch, that way I was just able to feed both kids on the plane and everyone was happy

So this year for Halloween I figured it was probably the last time that I would have license to decide for Audrey what she would be – so I decided against princesses, faeries, and Disney, and decided to aim for something a bit more, well, Halloween – a black Spider!

Audrey hanging out with our awesome neighbor Clay before going out for an event (notice the black pants – this was the original incarnation – but it turned out to be pretty warm on Halloween, so we adjusted…) Read the rest of this entry »
Charity (my Sister) informed me the other day that I am woefully behind in my blogging. Of course I think her main goal may have been to see more pictures of Britton, so I will try and get there, but to start with, we have Audrey at the park…

I should have know that as soon as I attempted something productive she would decide to wake up…

For some reason I have always wanted to go to Prague – so I was excited when this trip we had a chance to visit. In retrospect I didn’t really know much about the history of the city – but I was right that it is very beautiful!

On our second morning in Dresden we got off to a bit of a late start – but a cute one. Audrey got to wear one of her new German dresses.
