2.Who eats more? I would say we're pretty equal

3. Who said I love you first? In Costa Rica, after dating 9 months, he said, 'I think I love you' then something about how he doesn't know how you 'quantify love'. I just laughed and said ' I know I love you'. So basically I said it first

Missing the Maxfields already

We've had such a fun time with Heidi, Matt and Owen this past week during their visit
All snuggled up watching conference on the couch/guest bed
Ty and Owen really bonded- Owen would always just stare at him, it was so cute

On Saturday we took a train Brighton on the coast
Heidi was so proud she was the highest- this is after having 'High Tea' at Kensington Palace
We didn't have alot of walking room. Heid and Matt were good sports for having absolutely no space for their stuff
Bath time in our kitchen sink


They came to work with me one day. Alex and Theo, the boys I nanny LOVED Owen

Portugal

I have been bad at blogging lately. Probably because the only thing I want to do when I'm home is lay down and do nothing. Pregnancy hasn't been good to me. I always thought that when I was pregnant I would eat a really healthy organic diet, but it has really been the opposite. For the past 3 months I've been living off a diet of toast and cheerios...and even that I haven't been keeping down all the time. But I think I'm finally turning a corner and starting to feel better. And the timing couldn't have been better for this trip. Still, I can't wait to meet this cute little stinker that has been causing all this misery!

The best thing about living in London is how cheap and easy it is to travel. Ty has been working insane hours since January, so it was so nice to get away for Easter weekend. We went to southern Portugal and rented a car and drove along the coast to different towns and beaches.

Ty was so happy to be able to surf...the water was pretty cold though
I on the other hand just got to put my feet in the water and watch everyone else surf. It still was really fun. And I have to admit that I was a little glad to have the pregnancy excuse becuase the water was so cold.

I wasn't very excited when Ty ordered fish becuase the smell and the thought of fish makes me sick, and I was even less excited when it came out with the head, eyeballs and everything. But I had to take a picture of the final product.


We felt like we were in the movie 'Just Married' driving around this tiny car. It was pretty funny trying to fit the surf board on top.

21 days and counting...

Heidi, Matt and Owen are coming to visit at the end of this month. I'm so excited! I've been counting down the days until they arrive since they bought their tickets and now it's only 21 days away. I haven't seen them since October!! My eyes well up with tears just thinking about it!!

News...

Well, I've had a few people email me wondering if I'm pregnant because they read on Betsy's valentine blog that she loves my embryo. So I decided that people might as well read it on our blog. We're PREGNANT!! We're very excited. I'm 11 weeks along and due on September 14th.

p.s. when I changed our blog template I lost all our favorite blog list. So if I don't have yours on the list anymore- let me know so I can keep stalking you!

Why I love my VALENTINE....

1. He is so fun to be with, no matter what we're doing, even if it's just sitting around- he makes it fun

2. He carried this bag with 2 surf boards and all our wet towels all through Costa Rica and Panama
3. He decided this is his new "chill out" outfit- Scott gave him the wrap (I call it a skirt) from Sri Lanka
4. He can grow a sweet pony tail
5. He has such an infectious smile, it still makes me melt
6. He always lets me eat the center of a cinnamon roll, and those of you that know me know how important this is to me
7. Although he doesn't always look the part, he is a total genius. For some reason I started the debate about which one of us is the street smart one and which is the book smart one, and I try to claim one or the other just to try to hold my own debating with him, but I think it's pretty obvious that he's both

8. He can debate for hours about what can win in a fight between a lion and a tiger. It's obviously the lion, but he's deluded himself into thinking it's a tiger and is constantly trying to prove it to me with videos on You Tube
9. He's the most honest person I know. I still try to get student rates on everything (because aren't we all students in this life?) and he always tells me it's not worth it and makes me pay full price....and he can grow a sweet mustache
10. Ty is so easy to love. In all the time I have known him I have never seen him angry or raise his voice. He never will say a bad thing about anyone. He is the ultimate optimist. He is just salt of the earth good.

Parting is such sweet sorrow...or just sorrow

Well, my mom is gone. I cried like a baby when I left her at the airport. It was so great to have her here. She was such a great guest and we had such a blast.

She mastered the tube and even made it to Betsy's on her own one day!

We met Ty for lunch for some traditional 'Fish n Chips'

Phantom of the Opera
We started feeling bad that Ty wasn't in any of the pictures, so my mom decided to take a picture of him on his way out the door to work.

We miss you already Mom! Thanks for coming!!
