A few Random shots from June that were stuck on my phone!

We met up with the Donovan's at St James Park... here are Tessa & Nate enjoying the sand pit!

On our way home from the park Max got a 'soldier outfit' aka Beefeater uniform! He wore it for about 4 days in a row.... to Waitrose, the playground and school!!

Here he is after just showing me how he LONG JUMPS! Of course, in his soldier outfit!

Face Painting...

On July 1st, the Fulham Palace Garden Center around the corner from our house celebrated 25 years and had FACE PAINTING!! Check out Max's Green Dinosaur face (AND Tessa watching VERY closely!)

4th of July

We spent the afternoon of the 4th at the "Democrats Abroad" event at Portman Square... very chill and surprisingly non-political! We went with Diego & Gabriel Shin (Diego went to Hamilton with Christian but they didn't meet till they studied in Madrid). Nothing better than getting your face painted!!

WIMBLEDON 2010

Yesterday Max and I talked Abi and Leila into standing in line (for about 2.5 hours) and getting in to see some tennis!! It was a blast!! AND thanks to Nani & Boomer for watching Tessa! It was so fun to watch Max at Wimbledon! He was a little confused as to why HE couldn't play! BUT he did tell Leila she could watch him play at Wimbledon once he gets invited.

Max on the edge of his seat, literally!

This picture pretty much sums up how he felt about being there yesterday!

Fun June Activities...

We did the 'Bridges Walk' from Putney to Hammersmith with Leila... VERY fun! AND full of nature!

Max and Tessa enjoying some time at the Cottage!

Our car was DISGUSTINGLY dirty! Everytime we got in, Max would say, "Our car needs a wash Mommy." So he and Boomer washed it! MUCH better!

Max is in 'Little Kickers' on Saturday mornings! HILARIOUS! Definitely a highlight of his week! Below, Tessa enjoying a little 'football'.

Max listening carefully to Coach Ben

It's all about balance!

Tessa trying to eat with a spoon!

Grandpa Kessler...

While we were home, my Grandpa Kessler passed away at the age of 95. He was an amazing man and will be missed terribly!

Max enjoying Watermelon with Great G'ma & G'pa!

Christmas 2009 with Tessa

Last Minute Trip to Montana...

We were in Montana for two weeks while Fred worked in LA... YES, it's SNOW... we had snow 2 or 3 times while we were there... but it didn't stop us from having fun!

Max & Poppa catching snowflakes with their tongues!

Uncle Mons needed to give it a go too!

Reading a Bernstein Bears book!!

We had LOTS of fun with Geno... check out the painting!

What will it feel like if I paint my mouth??

Wait a minute.... it's MUCH more fun to paint Aunt Erin's face!!

See our lollipops!?

Here we are at the Memorial Day Parade...

Max wanting to hold Geno's hand and Geno not too interested.

Motorbikes!!

At the cemetery waiting for Poppa & Bud to fly over in formation!

We drove over to Park City, MT and saw our GREAT friends the Gauthier's!!
