Just some of the random pictures from things we had happening in September 2011:
CAT Family Day--Desford Facility, UK: We were able to tour the facility, hit the bumper cars, and then wait in line for a ridiculously long time for the big girls to do the bungee jump trampoline thing.
First Day of School--St. Peter's, Hinckley: (I think I posted these already, but they are so cute, I had to put them on again!)
Our first antique purchase: this is our Georgian Secretaire. . .circa 1810. . .we had it cleaned up and had a crack repaired.. . it was a "sympathetic restoration" which means they don't refinish or do anything that changes the 200 years of age that make it unique.
Our Fairy Experience at Reilly Studios in Hinckley: and these gorgeous shots sold me. . .I got these and three more!!
The "backwards" drive through. . .I post it again because I continue to laugh at my husband who almost refuses to go through it because of it's awkwardness and how my diesel engine makes it hard to hear! :)
Charlotte and her "bisc"!
Our neighbor (who has a beautiful garden full of ever-changing flowers. . and now I know why) keeping his bees:
Now I always look in the stands at Cubs games to see if I know anyone (and never do!). . while Keith and I were watching one of the games they aired here, we saw Richard. . our former insurance agent and one of his childhood friend's uncle. . .wild!!
Ever our little Disney baby!!
Summer sweetcorn!! (it was good, but still not the same as Midwest sweetcorn!)
Such a good big sister. . .and it's a good thing since I didn't know how to tie a tie!!
Day out at the park in
Market Bosworth. . a nearby town with great little shops. . .
Had to get this picture in my blog. . .I laughed out loud when I saw this one! The headlines here are always bold. . .never as politically correct and mild as in the States. And often, you have to look twice to organize it in your mind! Like this one. . .
