'ello London, 'ello Sun!

After being dragged from Paris kicking and screaming (not really but I so did not want to leave that place,officially my favorite city in the world), we boarded a massive train called the EuroStar and chugged it through the French countryside and under the English Channel to London, a place of sunshine and clear skies (huh?). It's crazy that it was rainy in Paris the first day we arrived, then on the day we went sightseeing, it was so nice... cold, but nice (no rain). And then arrive in London to a sunshiny happy clear day! Oh wishful thinking that it could last.... Now, today as we are heading out the door for our day of sights, it's overcast and damp out, so it might be a mess out there later, but seriously after being in all this cold and rain, I'm surprised to say that I'm getting used to it! (Reluctantly, of course. I dream every night of my comfortable KING bed and sunshine abyss of home) It's been so fun all this traveling around, but so tiring. There comes a time in every vacation that you just want to pack it in and head home! I'm at that point right now, Thursday (our home date) can't come fast enough, as much as I'm enjoying Europe in all it's glory. There is no place like California on a warm Fall day. And, as any mother would, I'm dying without my little boy. I just read an email from Suzette and she said he had a blast at their ward party playing alone in a bouncy castle, giggling and laughing his sweet little laugh. I read that and cried. I miss those kissy cheeks! I miss the way his eyes light up when we sees something he loves, and I miss his sweet little jabber when he's "reading" his books. I get to see him tomorrow and it just can't come quick enough to stop the aching inside to hold and kiss my child!!! Oh, it's good for all of us, he's been having such a great time with his Nanna and Granddad. And, it's been so exciting to have Mark all to myself!! But I do sure miss that little boy... Well, unfortunately we are short on luck with the internet situation so my pictures are on my laptop and Mark's is the only one with access at this hotel because it's costing us an arm and an leg for 24 hours and to set up my laptop with internet could leave us an armless and legless wonder, so patience my friends. I will post pictures as soon as I have access again without losing any more limbs! :) We love and miss you all.

I'm SO SO jealous of your trip to Europe, and even more jealous that you are currently in possibly my favorite place on earth. I should have set you up with my adopted granddad in London. He would have loved to show you around the city! I seriously should have thought of that before. Anyway, I can't wait to see pics and hear what you think of the place. Enjoy your sweet little reunion with your sweet litte Rowan!

I can't imagine how big he will be when I return home again! Crazy! Anyways miss you guys and love ya!
