Liberty Belle Turns 1!

So I'm about month late in reporting it, but Liberty Belle Harvey has indeed turned ONE! We took some birthday pics, and boy was she a little poser. When I say "we," I mean Jen. Jen worked her magic, and Libby...she just worked it. Get down girl, go 'head get down. She got a very a special birthday cookie from her brother, Dexter. She wasn't quite sure what to do with it at first!

Wanna be startin' somethin'...got to be startin' somethin'...

Well he definitely started something and I think we're all ultimately grateful for what he started. He gave us something we could dance to. Even if we were six.



When I was six, we lived with my grandmother. Every day after kindergarten I would come home, grab my older brother's (Jason's) Thriller cap and MJ glove and my microphone and sing and dance to the entire Thriller album top to bottom. Then I would eat dinner. Every night. I practiced and practiced mamasaymamasamamakusa...mamasaymamasamamakusa...until I got it down...until I could do it in my sleep. Now, there's only one thing that comes to mind when I look at this picture:

Just exactly how high was I wanting those pants to be?

Day 9 - Nashville Bound.

You would think since this is day 9 that all that's left to do is catch our flights home.  Not so. Even though Brad and I were on different flights, it worked out well.  We left within one hour from each other from Heathrow Airport and arrived in Nashville within 20 minutes of each other.  We got back to Nashville around 5pm, were able to meet the Baders for a quick dinner, and then we all went to see COLDPLAY! What better way to end a trip to Europe (spent mostly in the UK) than coming back to our city to see the biggest band to come out of the UK in the last several years.  It was perfect!

It was an amazing end to an amazing trip. 

London, Nashville, and one great big rock show. Day 9.

Day 8 - Dreary Ol' London.

The 8th day brought with it raindrops and clouds and chills.  If this is what it's really like in England, then for the last 7 days we really had been experiencing a heat wave.  Brad kept asking for gray and gloomy London.  He got it today.  Even though it was chilly, we were good tourists and saw most of the sights.

Buckingham Palace.

Westminster Abbey

Big Ben and Big Brad in the SAME picture!!

Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament.

The Tower Bridge. I'm cold. I don't typically rest my chin on my fists.

Always time for a little coffee/dessert break!

Trafalger Square

The sun finally set.

Falling bridges, falling raindrops, and falling temperatures. Day 8.
