Our Rainy Weekend


Chris decided to take Friday off of work, so we enjoyed a long weekend with him!  Unfortunately, it rained pretty much all weekend.  The only good thing about the weather was that Nathan was so excited to carry his new umbrella and break out his new rain boots and rain coat.  He likes the weather here much better than Chris and I do.

We had a fun weekend - Purple Dragon Kids Club on Friday morning (Dad finally got to go with us); Hyde Park on Friday afternoon (the rain cleared and it was a beautiful afternoon and evening - Nathan loved watching the ducks in the lake); Buckingham Palace on Saturday to see the changing of the guards (sorry friends and family who visit, but we will never do this again - it was madness - think about the most crowded day at Disneyland and then multiply that times 10, but Nathan did love the music and the men with "hats"); and we went to the Natural History Museum on Sunday to see the dinosaurs  (Nathan liked it, but I think he will like it much more in a couple of years).  

 And, to cap it all off, we finally got all of our things from home this morning!  Needless to say, I was working like crazy today trying to find a place to put everything.  It is not easy downsizing from 2,100 square feet to 800 square feet, but I think I have just about managed to find a home for everything.  I still have some more work to do tomorrow, but I think we can almost call this place "home"!

Here are some pictures from the weekend - enjoy!

He loves holding his umbrella (even when it isn't raining)!

Ready for the rain!


Such a boy!



Loving the ducks at Hyde Park!
                           




Such a big boy - standing on the bus!  He loves public transportation, because it means no carseat!
