Disneyland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we took the older kids to Disneyland Paris and had a blast.

Fantasyland

Katy and Dan were so cute and excited to take a look around.

Jason, Laura and Katy in their teacup.

Flying Dumbos....awesome!

Ben an Jerry's was absolutely perfect! The ice cream break was needed and appeciated by all.

Katy was taking a break in true style.

This was just too cute. A short parade with fun music passed us and I caught Joe and Dan waving to Goofy.

And this is what happens when 2.5 year olds are WORN OUT after a full morning at Disneyland.

On the train home. Dan's last wish before leaving was a ''bear sucker''. I think it lasted a full hour :)

Out and About

While Joe is at French class, we've been getting out and around Paris a bit. Here are some of our stops thus far.

We had an amazing picnic at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower.

My brother's precious family.

Notre Dame


This is how Caleb gets his naps while we're out and about...I'm surprised he'll still do this but so glad!

Paris!

We've made it to Paris again this summer, but this time with a different twist: FAMILY!!! My family is here for two weeks and then Joe's mom comes for two weeks. We're all living in a Parisian apartment together and it's fabulous! I don't have too many pictures of our outings yet, but the cousins are having blast together and it's just such a blessing to be together. Here's a little glimpse into our first few days here.

Family picnic at Place de Vosges.

Our first family dinner at our apartment.

Lots of special family time....the cousins together are SO cute!

Caleb's Baptism

Our sweet Caleb was baptized today. We had a special service at 3pm and a minister from Inverness came to Kiltarlity for the occasion. It was such a blessing. We had prayed that many of our friends from outside our church would come...and they did! This was such a special day for Caleb and our family and it was so nice to share it with so many.

Here we are all are with the minister who baptized Caleb.

Dan and his friend, Honor, sat here for ages with their treats after the service.

Here are a few pics of those who came. We all had lots of ''eats'' and tea afterwards. The service was actually held in the village hall since our church is currently under renovation.

Scottish Wildlife :)

Today we went to the Black Isle Wildlife Park with our Tuesday morning toddler group buddies. We saw lots of fun animals and the boys had a great time (as did Mommy!)

Here is Dan feeding the goats. This was definitely his favorite activity of the morning. He loved letting them nibble it out of his hands.




Feeding the ducks!

More duck food please!

This is how Caleb spent our time at the park. He really is such a happy little guy. The only peep I heard from him was when he saw Dan eating something, so I gave him some toast. He loooooooooooooved it!

Saturday...

This morning our family enjoyed...

Pancakes with homemade raspberry jam (thanks Joanie!!!)

''Boat'' rides, fishing, and trumpet playing...

Rolling around (new trick!)

Pajamas and glasses.....

Doesn't get much better than this!

Sitting Up!

Our little guy has been sitting up for a little over a month now. This is one of my favorite stages of babyhood. It's so fun to watch him sit and take in his surroundings in a new way. Here are some pictures of his new talent :)
