This is us!

Here is a quick update to what Kendal and I have been doing all week. Been a warm one so far. Enjoy.


10 Year Anniversary

Yes that is right. Our 10 year anniversary. It has gone by so fast. We had a great get away to the island of Guernsey. It is one of the Channel islands and is located between England and France in the Channel. We had such a lovely time. Kendal stayed with some great friends of ours while we had 3 nights away to ourselves. Here are a few pics of our adventure. Wish I took more.


Here we are on a costal hike. Beautiful views. Here we are in our infamous pose.

Good shot of Bryan doing what he loves. His new hobbie.

Her we are just before our 7 course meal at a fancy restaurant called Christophe's.

Me enjoying the first course. Lovely. All was good at the end since a new glass of wine was served with each course. Needless to say after the first course we were enjoying ourselves so much we forgot to take anymore pictures of the food. But it sure was good.


Before we ventured home we stopped at the German Occupation Museum. During WWII the Germans occupied this island for 5 years. They cut off all communication to the outside world during the war. It was a peaceful occupation, but there were still things that went on. Very eye opening and enlightening. Great end to a great time.

Quick Visit

We got to visit some good friends of Kendal and Mine one day. It was such a quick visit but a lovely one. Kendal and Lucas are only 1 day apart and his mom and I met in hospital before they were born. They have a very special place in our hearts. Miss you guys.

Wonderful Visit

Now where do I begin? I can only say we had the most wonderful visit from our dear friends the Gidley's. It was so nice to spend 2 1/2 weeks together. They were such a blessing to us. Thanks Gidley's for putting up with us. Here are some pictures I took. Bryan has loads more. We will have to add some as he gets time to download them for me.

We did get a trip to the beach before we ventured off to London. This is our way of applying sunscreen to our children!



Here are the girls waiting for the train we took to London. It was their first time on a train!





We visited the National History Museum. Here is Kendal the explorer. Watch out Dora!


This is Jim recovering from our 4 day trip to London. Well this was Jim most anytime he was in a moving vehicle. More espresso Jim!

Our lovely English visit to Dunster Castle. See us in our rain garb. Typical English weather. It was fun though. Nothing like splashing in the puddles in your wellie boots.
