Home Sweet Home

Just a bit of news about us...we're moving back to the States!! Things didn't work out as well as we expected with the basketball side of things and so we decided the best option for us is to come home. We're still a little unsure about our future but we look forward to being close to our family and friends again. We'll keep you all posted with more details on when we'll be back and what our plan is afterwards.

Fun at the Park

Jayni absolutely loves the park! She wants to go EVERYDAY!! That would be fine if I felt a little more comfortable going there without Tom. I haven't heard of anything bad happening at the park but there are teenagers that loiter around and just make me nervous. And there was the first time Tom and I took the kids to the park and some guy took his car onto the grass and started driving around erratically and spinning doughnuts. As you can see from this picture, there's graffiti and there's garbage all over the place.

Well, we decided to take Jayni to the park Sunday afternoon. She enjoyed herself and I had a good time playing with our new camera. Unfortunately, Jayni couldn't use the slide because it was all sticky from a popsicle being left on it. We tried to clean it up but we didn't have enough baby wipes to do the job. She loves to look through the binoculars.

 I took a cute shot of Jayni with Mason sitting in his stroller in the background.

Some boys then came and asked Tom to play a game of soccer with them. Of course he was more than happy to. Now, I usually hate it when Tom does this because then he doesn't spend time with Jayni and I feel that defeats the purpose of all of us going to the park, but this time he included Jayni in the game and it was so cute!!

Jayni soon got tired of me taking pictures and asked me to stop.

Jayni was then tired of playing soccer and wanted to swing before we left.

Jayni Loves to Sing

 
Jayni absolutely loves to sing! Here are a couple clips of her singing her favorite songs after bath time. Also, this gives you a little bit of an idea of how big Mason is. He is so adorable but my goodness he is huge! Tom & I have to pass him back and forth every couple of minutes because he is so heavy.

Warwick Castle

 
Saturday we went to Warwick Castle with Tom's parents and sister. It was so neat! Tom and I want to go back because we weren't able to see all of it because of all the things they had going on.

We took Tom's family back to the airport Monday morning. We enjoyed having them here but we sure were exhausted from the visit. It was nice to relax and not have anything to do the rest of the day.
