We just put the boys down to bed and could hardly hear each other over the noise of a helicopter that has been stationary over our rooftop for the last 4 hours.
I asked a neighbor about it earlier and he shoo-shooed it off as police keeping watch over some group taking a stand against some thing. I didn't think much about it either. Luckily we turned on the news after we put the boys down (remember how much little G takes after his worrisome mother).
This is what all the noise is about:

Markham Square is 3 blocks from our street. 3 short blocks!
And as a side note, when we were looking for homes for the 2nd, no 3rd time, we would walk up and down Markham Square looking for a For Sale sign because it is one of our very favorite little areas. It is a charming street and the only square that we found that has a children's play area in the communal garden.
I'll just say again that I sure am glad things worked out the way they did!
Welcome
I began this blog in 2008 as we picked up and moved our family from Dallas, Texas to London, England as a result of a fabulous job opportunity for my husband. My primary goal was to stay in touch with family and friends as well as begin an online family photo album to preserve our precious memories. With 3 young boys at home and life moving at a breakneck speed, I found that by taking even a few moments to capture a thought or a photo or a memory from our day provided a much needed outlet and a place to be a bit more intentional and present. Our family enjoyed every single moment of our two years in London before a new role was offered to my husband which also required a relocation, this time to Boston, Massachusetts. We settled in Wellesley in September of 2009 and loved life in our teeny-tiny Norman Rockwell New England town. After 4 fabulous years in Boston, our family relocated yet again, this time back to Dallas. We feel so fortunate to have been given these amazing opportunities to live and visit and experience life in different places and we certainly look forward to many more adventures!
