Germany trip...

Here are some pictures of our trip to Germany...

Getting on the overnight ferry at Harwich to Hoak van Holland.

Our cabin at the Edelweiss resort.

Lunch with Uncle Willy and Erika.

Around the town of Garmisch...

Us getting on the cable car at the Zugspitze, the highest peak in Germany.

Scary as hell...

Incredible view... (If my Photoshop skills were good, I'd get rid of that stranger staring at me.)

Top of the Zugspitze...

Belated Merry Christmas!

Santa!

What can I say? We tried having both girls on Santa's lap. Katherine didn't go for it.

Natural History Museum

Here are a few pictures of our trip last weekend to the Natural History Museum in London.


Me and Scottie...

Me and Darwin...

Mark and Isabella...

Isabella and Madison...

No pictures of Katherine this time. She was sleeping in her stroller for most of the tour. More later...

Isabella in her ballet dress

I snapped these pictures yesterday at Isabella's ballet class. I forgot to get her ballet shoes in it though! Better ones next time!

More cross stitch ornaments...

Yippee! I've got two more ornaments in the JCS magazine. Here is what the cover of the magazine looks like.

Katherine's birthday...

Here's Katherine on her birthday. We would have taken pictures at the party, but she was crying when we sang her "Happy Birthday."

Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue is out!

The magazine with my ornament in it is now on the newsstands. It's a little snowman cross stitch. So go check it out! L,C

Stratford Upon Avon Tour

This weekend, along with some friends, we went to Stratford Upon Avon. This is the village where William Shakespeare was born and is buried.

His place of birth...

Living statue--which totally scared the kids!

Us in the back garden of the house.

A costumed guide.

The girls with some of the guides.

Scottie and Brendon after our picnic by the river.

Our way into the church where Shakespeare is buried.

Shakespeare's grave.

South Park Characters

With Isabella in school now, I do have a bit of creative free time. Here is our family as South Park characters.

Meanwhile...

Isabella has started school. Meanwhile...Katherine learns to feed herself spaghetti.

First day of school!

Here's a picture of Isabella getting ready to head off to her first day at school. *sigh*

Almost 11 months...

I can't believe that next week Katherine will be 11 months old! Isabella loves playing with her little sister and doesn't mind sharing her toys--yeah, right!

Look at those chompers!

Trip to Sandringham

Last week Tom, Rose and Angela came to visit. That Saturday we went to Sandringham Estate. That's where the Queen spends some of her holidays including Christmas. No pictures of the inside though. More to follow...
