...and we're back..

Been a while so here's a load of pictures videos with the happenings here in London...

woo hoo-- im wearing a sweater vest and going to a partay!

I'm a goofball.

No way-- Grandma was here and had a ball-- so did I....

Look who else was here! Yay!

Me and Sam-- playing. Can you believe he was here? It was too quick but fantastic!

Sam was in awe at how much time he spent at the Paddington Station kiosk...almost as much time as we spent at the Westfield mall.

We saw the Duncans (not to be confused with Duncan the cat) Matilda, Lucy (hidden beneath Maddy) and Alex hanging. They live in Winchester, about an hour outside of London for those interested.

Very pretty!

It's Halloween already! This year, Alex would not wear the monkey head...will try again tomorrow.

Lookin' good

Playing with Ellie

Cornwall

We took a trip! Outside of London (and not New York). We went to St. Mawes, an adorable seaside village in Cornwall. Some picture/videos that you might enjoy. Look, there's sun and water in the background! We're outdoorsy.



Alex enjoying some famous Cornish ice cream:


We took ferries, water taxis, boats to get around....it was quite beautiful:



Our first ferry was called the "Duchess of Cornwall" christened in 2008 by none other than....the Duchess of Cornwall!








Alex and I after dining al fresco on a terrace...where Alex threw his sippy cup on the roof of the next building. Good times! Love that kid.






It's not England if there isn't a castle:

My little sherpa...

It's been noted on this blog that Alex likes to climb things...(climbing a chair as we speak...be right back)

Well, here he is across from Kensington Palace climbing a big hill!




At the bookshop and just having a good time:




Some slide action from a few weeks ago


This is in the 'family room' at the Westfield - a mall in London. Needless to say, it was not pretty when we had to leave Alex's friend Rupert. (the bear in the car)

More Awwwww.

At the park yesterday, we ran into Coco (and mom, Nadia) who are friends from Alex's music class that ended almost a year ago! Reunion is precious....(and dance and a finale)


More park action...hard to keep up w/ him...

Day at the Museum

We met friends at the Natural History Museum and hung out with the dinosaurs and saw really old fossils. (85 million years old fish species fossil! in a rock! i'm still floored by that one.) Our visit to the museum was almost a year to the day from this visit! Look at the patoots!





Running everywhere!



We should make our own movie. Alex will deal with the special effects.

Bushels and Pecks

Thanks to Jess for sending this over. (circe Jan 2011- Pre Sam!)

More play...

He really loves to play...what's not to love? Alex got a kitchen--he's a fan.
