London Times
Ha! Great title, huh?!
We made it there and back and are glad to be home and so thankful we don't live there! It is sooo expensive!! Anyway. We got there Tuesday night, Elijah had his (circumcision) surgery Wednesday at 2pm and then we headed to London, spent some time there, then back to Stansted where we were staying. We felt like most of that day was spent on some form of transportation...we took a hotel shuttle, then a bus, then a cab, then another cab, then a train, then the subway, then another train, then another shuttle. We were exhausted by the end of the day and ready for bed!
Elijah did amazing! He slept so much of the time, which was incredible because he was in his carseat and we were just carrying it everywhere. We decided not to take the stroller because it's so bulky and with having to take so much public transportation we figured it would just be easier to carry him everywhere in his car seat. Thankfully Joel is much more enduring than I am!
Our few hours in London were enjoyable though! I even enjoyed a Starbucks Mocha (for over $6!!---Elijah had to eat, so I might as well enjoy something too, right?!) Seriously though, on "Fleet Street" in London, there were about 10 Starbucks, sometimes right across the street from each other! It was pretty crazy!
So in the 3 hours we were there, we saw St. Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben and the Parliament Buildings, walked along the Thames River and enjoyed all the other amazing buildings. I think I could spend a lot more time there, but without the cost. All that traveling we did that day was over $150!! Just ridiculous! The shuttle from the hotel to the airport was $16 alone. So I doubt we'll be putting London on any "return visit" agenda anytime soon. Too bad!
Here's a few pictures though.

Parade!
Yesterday there was a parade here in Sencur. Three years ago just as we were moving here, we went to it and actually stood in front of this house. Yesterday, we decided to stay inside and watch from Abigail's bedroom window. Anja & Tjasa came by though and asked if they could take Abigail out. They're such sweet girls, they even bought Abigail that huge balloon!
This photo is for you Mom! Okay, not really, but I just think newborn feet are so, so cute! Eli has the exact same big toe as Abigail and Joel. So funny that a 'toe' would be passed down.
I have a picture of Abigail in this chair, I think at the same age and she looks "just like" this. I think it's actually on our other blog. yep...here it is!
But in this picture, he doesn't really look like her. Definitely a cutie though!
And here I was taking a couple pictures and out of the blue...he smiled! So cute!
