Lounging

We met up with Jonica (my old colleague and Jake's babysitter) in the park for lunch a few weeks ago, and she emailed me this pic which I had to post. I just love his little toes!!

Mothers Day part 2

I had the best Mothers Day! We celebrated all day long...first the weather was amazing, high of about 26 degrees...ahhhh! We started the day with brunch at my favourite place, Raouls. I'm sure if you have been to visit, we have taken you there. After that, we had a leisurely stroll through Paddington Park. Jake loves picking up any ball he sees and will spot them at quite a distance. We came home for a couple hours to relax, and Jake had a little siesta. Maybe I did too... Then Rich picked up some yummy snacks for a special dinner picnic in Queens Park. We had cheese, baguette, roasted vegetables, salad and wine. Mmmm....so good! Again, Jake chased balls, pigeons, and puppies to his hearts content. Here are a couple shots from Jake's mission, and me trying to distract him with his own ball which wasn't working, so we had to go find Daddy!

The City

In 41/2 years, can't say I have ever really walked around the home of the investment bankers, aka the city. This is why its great to have visitors!! It makes me explore parts of London that I have ignored... thanks Mom&Dad!
Anyway, there are some really unique buildings, old contrasting with new, and of course the gherkin below is now a well known landmark. It seemed to peek out at us as we approached!
