I have a new baby sister!!!!!

Momma still pregnant with a miracle
Geneva and mumsie
Hehehe, momma likes to make lots of HUGE hairbows for her girls. ;-)
So beautiful and with so much curly dark hair
After the open heart surgury

Geneva Marie was born on July 6th! She was roughly around 8lbs being the tiniest of us all. She had to have open heart surgery and there is a possibility that she may have Turner's syndrome which in and of itself is a miracle since 98% of cases end in miscarriage. She is a miracle that God has blessed us with and has answered so many prayers on her behalf.

Lugano and Bellizona, Switzerland

Miriam was spending the weekend visiting Sarah in Como, Italy and Lugano, Switzerland and on Sunday I traveled a few hours by train to visit them for the day. We enjoyed laying in the sun by the lake in Lugano eating gelato and pizza and walking around Bellizona in search for aloe vera. lol . . . ;-)

Sarah and me!
AMAZING pizza in Lugano!

Miriam says my feet have a personality of their own! ;-)

Hehehehe, I love Miriam's joy for the small things in life!


The view from the train station in Bellizona
There are castles all over Bellizona intertwining the old city with the new . . .

London!

London for the weekend in June was amazing! We (Miriam, Sarah, Jared, and myself) only had two days to take in the delights of this city and it certainly wasn't enough time but we made the most of it!!!

My slightly irritated, bemused face . . .
Sarah said, "Lets do like in the Titanic" lol, so we did. Notice Jared is feigning ignorance of our presence and especially our photo shoot! haha . . .
Leaving Zurich and the alps in the distance

Kiddos climbing the lions statues in Trafalgar Sqaure wearing these weird glasses that are "fashionable".
While we were resting in Trafalgar square all these nude cyclists came by! Lol!
This one cracks (pun intended) me up! ;-)

We ended our last night with traditional fish and chips and a Pimm's Cup! :-)
