Leah's Baptism in Baltimore

This past weekend we went up to Baltimore for a special Sunday. Leah got baptized we were so grateful to be there. It was so wonderful to also see the girls having so much fun playing together. We went swimming (the splash pad was the biggest hit!), made cookies, had a dance party while Jeremy played the guitar, and had lot of play time together.

Our 8th Anniversary - in Europe!

We just got back on Wednesday from a 7 day trip to Europe. We went to Spain (Madrid, Toledo, and Salamanca) and France (Paris). It was an amazing trip and a wonderful time together. Emmie stayed with my parents for the 1st half and Jeremy's parents for the 2nd half.

Here we are in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid:

We went to Toledo on Saturday (30 min. train ride south of Madrid). The streets here were so awesome! Cobble stone, small, lanterns, and cloths to block the sun. This was one of Jeremy's favorite moment - just walking through the streets and shopping!

From Spain (Madrid, Toledo, and Salamanca) and France (Paris)

Sunday afternoon we took the 2 1/2 hour train to Salamanca (west of Madrid). We went here because we wanted to visit where Jeremy's sister, Jordan, had gone to study Spainish for a month while she was at Auburn (about 2 years ago).

Tuesday we flew over to Paris. This is just a great pix on a bridge the city behind us.

After nap time, Emmie and I went to the park and I went for a run. Then we went to the grocery and I was blessed by the Lord and ran into an old friend from Curves. She got to ride in the car grocery cart for the first time and LOVED it. I wish you could hear her saying woo woo woo as she was driving it.

Jeremy also fixed me wonderful dinner. It was a real treat not to have to think about or fix dinner yesterday.
