My trip to England

Because Matt is the man and Joel and Zina are the hosts with the most, I was able to go to England and stay in Datchet at their missionary apartment.  I met Rachel and Emily there and we had a terrific time.  It was such a wonderful trip--I didn't cook or even make a sandwich the WHOLE TIME.  Thanks to all who made this happen, especially Matt.

Cute breakfast on the plane

Getting a little lost in London on purpose, Warner style

And because I always forget where I go (and am not a good photographer), I took notes!

Mother's Day celebration with Darby at Wesley 

I love this bush in our neighborhood

Daddy, hold me

Ramsey participating in an impromptu performance during Activity Days (it was mother-daughter night)

Caught Beck sleeping with his hand perpendicular to the bed, thought it was cute and sleepy Darby

Beck having fun doing MyOn at school--this was Zumba

Mother-daughter Girl Scout camp out with Ramsey

Darby has been obsessed with these BabyMouse graphic novels.  All three of the kids devour them, it is very interesting.  Who would have thought?

 Let the record show, at 26 weeks, my belly is bulging and veiny

Interesting mannequin at Luckett's 

Snuggles

Waiting for the cookies

Playing babies and ponies

Beck lost his first tooth and the tooth fairy came (the top one came out due to "unnatural causes" several years ago)

Darby was very interested in this centipede/worm thing

I went to the outlet mall alone to get Beck a couple of new shirts.  I could not choose, so I texted Matt and told him to ask Beck which two he liked the best.  He replied within 10 seconds.  That kid knows what he likes, just like Matt.  He chose the striped and red shirts.

Sick Ramsey.  

Darby making the best of things at the doctors office, along for the ride as always.

I got Ramsey this dry erase board at the dollar store (she chose it) to lift her spirits.  She made the most of being sick by writing and drawing.  Sweet girl.
