Kids!

Hi there! Hope that you had a good weekend and have been enjoying the Olympics! We've had a fun weekend in London - the weather has been nice and there hasn't been much rain! We had dinner last night at a Gordon Ramsay restuarant called Maze and it was awesome! We didn't have any sightings of the famous chef though - maybe next time!

Anyhow, I thought that I'd share some photos of some of my favorite kids! It was Reese's big 7th birthday yesterday - Happy B-day buddy!! He is playing football this fall and recently got his pads and let's just say he's very excited. We can't wait to see some photos and hear about his first game next weekend!

Anyway, so here are some photos...



This is my niece, Emily, getting her hair done before a Jonas Brothers concert she went to a few weeks ago. Pretty snazzy!

Here's Reesie in his football pads!

The first day of school - they're so big!!



Here's Mr. Owen.

Em and Owen on his birthday. Check out Em's braces!

These two pics are of little Maddy Kavounas - our friends Jen and Peter's baby girl! What a cutie!







The next ones are of Mr. Issac Kolb who was born in May. His parents are Jill and Ryan - we went to college with Jill. He's such a doll!

Here are two good friends, Maya and Chad's Mazen and Mr. Ben English, our friends Trish and Dans' little boy! Their expressions crack me up and they both look just like their dads!!

Here is another one of Mazen in his swinging chair. He's getting so big - he barely fit in that thing when I saw him in May!!

And finally, here is my cousin Tiffany and her husband Johns' little girl Audrey and their puppy Abby. Too cute!

It's so hard living so far away and not being able to see all the little ones (and you big kids too!) so we love getting photos - so keep on sending them!

Well, I'm going to head out to get ready for another week of work! We head to France this coming Saturday and just can't wait for a few days off!

Let the Games Begin!

Just another lazy weekend with not much to report but thought that I would still say hello! We have been watching some of the Olympics and it has been interesting listening to the British broadcasters instead of Bob Costas! They also tend to focus more on the British atheletes but we still have been able to see the compete! We're watching the USA play China in basketball right now but Chad runined it and just saw the results online! Oh well! It's still fun to see basketball on our TV - it's not a common occurence!

Otherwise, things are going well for us. We have visitors arriving in a week and a half - our friends Ben and Lindsey are coming! They are going to spend some time with us in London and we're then we're headed down to Southern France for 5 days. I know - how posh! We are looking forward to it!

Have a good Sunday afternoon! Talk to you soon!
