  • Wicked

    Decided to see a show while waiting for the flat to cool down. It was amazing! We enjoyed some London nightlife and practiced our underground navigating skills.

  • London

  • Last day of middle school

    Off she goes to her final regular school day at Laura Jeffrey Academy. We spent last evening trying to choose just one baby picture for the slide show, which I watched several times in order to desensitize myself so I don’t cry at the ceremony!
