End of 2012

Ok...Need to get caught up. I know its been too long when I can't find my own blog and have to keep googling myself and my kids name to find my own blog and then forget the password. We closed out 2012 with Halloween, a trip to Park City for Thanksgiving and then home for Hanukkah and Christmas. I have been busy as ever with the kids. Both are in preschool at Miss Hiedi's, which is such a gem here in Laguna Beach. They both enjoy swimming lessons as well as ballet and Spanish for London. London and Henry are truly best friends. When we go to the park they prefer to play with each other over the other children. I guess they just spend so much time together. It really is cute to see them together. They can now have full conversations with each other and I try not to laugh as London tries to "mother" Henry or Henry tries to annoy London. They are getting so big every minute and I am having so much fun watching them grow.

London is in a little group called Indian Guides with Justin and here she is getting ready to do her first camp out.

Poor London is just getting ready to go into surgery to get her tonsils out. The surgery went well but it was a hard week for all.

Henry's first haircut by a professional. I still think I do a better job...lol

London started soccer this year. This is her getting her first trophy on her last game.

I took London to see her first play. "Pinkalicious the Musical". She had so much fun dressing up in all pink!

Paris 2012

Back in September Justin and I went to one of our favorite cities...Paris, France. We went without the kiddos and I will have to say the trip was quite amazing. We used to travel quite a bit before the kids were born and were longing for a little adventure and quiet time. We met Megan and Nick there and were able to enjoy some great food, company and fantastic art and shopping. It was great my Mom was able to watch the kids so we could get away. Family and friends chipped in to make sure the kid's routine were not interupted. We missed the kids but were able to face time via our iPad so it seemed like we were only minutes away even though we were 1,000 of miles away.

We flew on this huge 800 passenger double decker plane. It was huge!

Just living like the locals

Megan and Nick at the Notre Dame Cathedral. Friday night mass was going on and it was beautiful.

Going out for dinner. The food was fabulous.

Sightseeing

No trip to Paris is complete without an Eiffel Tower picture

Not sure where our next adventure will be, but Paris was a much needed break...

Summer 2012

OK...so I have to say I may have forgotton about my little blog. I have been frequently reminded lately that I needed to update it. I am sorry that I have fallen so far behind....but time flies when you are having fun, right?

So I finally decided to give up my corporate job to spend more time with the family and the kiddos. Can I officially say that I am a "Stay at home Mom". Wow. After much debating and contempating I have decided to officially take a break from the workforce. I really thought I would have so much more time not working but I am entirely busy in different ways so I am finding even the simplest things hard to get done with a 2.5 and 4.5 year old always present.

We have had so much fun this summer going to the beach, traveling, running errands, you name it. When I am not busy cleaning, cooking, chasing, chaffering; you can find me labeling and organizing the house, buying stuff I don't need on ebay, finishing photo books, watching old black and white movies and shopping at whole foods:)

Here are a few things we have been up to:
