Grandma Gretch and I decided to take a girls trip to Hong Kong to see Kate and the sights.  Of course at the last minute I decided to bring this little guy with us. Malcolm was great and slept the whole flight. He’s a pro traveler! We got in around 10.  Just enough time forContinue reading “Back to Hong Kong”

And she came bearing lots of gifts!  Grandma got in late at night so she had to wait until the morning to see the boys.  After a quick hug Eagle eye Ali spotted the goodies Grandma brought and she brought some good ones!  Adam got Mickey toys, shark shoes that light up, a shark towelContinue reading “Grandma's here!”

Now that we’re all caught up on Greece I need to catch you up on everything that’s been going on this past month at home!  When we returned home Malcolm was just over 6 months and ready for some food! He had been giving me all the signs, starting longingly at Adam’s icecream, trying andContinue reading “First bites”

For our last night in Milos and on the Greek Islands we went back to our favorite restaurant, Enalion.  We had a long slow dinner, facilitated by the fact that Malcolm sleeps the second he gets inside the baby carrier and there was a beach right there for Adam to explore. We are in agreementContinue reading “Goodbye Milos”

During our last week in Milos we felt like we had so much to see, so every evening before dinner we would try to see something new.  How amazing that after a week and a half on a small island there was still so much to see. I kept seeing Klima on postcards around MilosContinue reading “Worth the drive”

With the Jordans on their way home and a whole week left in Milos we went about looking for ways to lift our moods. Luckily we were in beautiful Greece.  So what better to distract us than the beach, baths, toys, gyros and ice-cream.            

The hardest part about our life without a single doubt is not being close to our family.  And the hardest moments of the hardest part are always hardest right after we’ve seen our family.  But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Let’s start at the beginning of the end. Our last day with the Jordans wasContinue reading “Saying Goodbye”
