A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is
someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.”

Nothing out of the Ordinary

So.....Where have I been you ask??

Well for the past month we have been surrounded by Family!!  That's right, all 6 Birds were in the same nest once again, and although a little crowded the much needed family time was just what the doctor ordered!  Who would have thought that we would all get to spend summer vacation together traveling in EUROPE!

We did the usual, you know....spent the day in PARIS, visited a few CASTLES, traveled through several COUNTRIES, hand fed MONKEYS at monkey mountain, searched for little LEIDERHOSEN, ate traditional European DISHES, explored dozens of COBBLESTONE streets, walked on the EDGE of a gushing gorge.... nothing you haven't heard about before!  We also ate TONS of new treats (for those of you who have had the experience of eating German ice cream you know how addicting it can be...I am pretty sure at least one scoop a day is MANDATORY), had a lot of laughs, and most importantly (at least to me anyway) shared lots of love with Little Landon, who provided plenty of entertainment to keep us all busy!

I think it is safe to say we made lots of memories and took enough picture to make those memories stick!

It will definitely be hard to go back to a quiet house in a few days, but their trip provided an all too real reminder that we only have 6 months left of this adventure!

Never thought I would travel to Europe much less 4 times! Have had a great time, saw some new places and loved hanging out with all of the family. Returning to states in 2 days :( but less than 6 months until you return! Love you more!
