Our First Weekend as Londoners

We have had a wonderfully busy first weekend in London!  Matthew, Marguerite and I are quickly settling into life in the quaint neighborhood of Southfields.  During our first two days, we have explored lush Wimbledon Park, strolled along the Thames, introduced Marguerite to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, and enjoyed several beautiful parks.  Here are some snapshots from our first few days...enjoy!

  2. LOVE IT ALL! (I'm still a little miffed you are abroad without me, but i'll just have to get over it) MAW is getting so big and looks so much like Matthew in the picture where she is sitting in the pink dress! I'm so impressed with all your sight seeing! Y'all must have beaten the jet lag! Enjoy it all, post everyday, and then come back to see me! LOVE YOU!
