C, Little G and I went to the Bon Jovi show last night for Father's Day. C has lost both G's over the last few weeks in our prep work for the big night. It was a great introduction to Little G with 55,000+ fans for the last show of the European tour. The atmosphere was as good as it gets for a concert. My only concern is that the whole family is now Bon Jovi fans as S's new favorite songs to sing are Raise Your Hands and Lost Highway versus Twinkle, Twinkle or the A,B,C's.
To the Andersons, Butlers and any other Bon Jovi fans, it was a 2 1/2 hour set with a 5-song encore. They played a greatest hits show including some surprises such as Always, In These Arms, Blood Money and I Believe.
I have highlighted some video's from the night: Rockin' All Over the World (1st song and surprise), I Believe (1st time live on the tour), Blood Money (great classic that many don't know), Shout (one of G's favorites) and a compilation of all the songs from the night.
C will be back tomorrow, but I know there are a few of you out there that will enjoy the post. Thanks to Little G for the Father's Day present.
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!

Appreciate the shout out, Nelson. Looks like a good show...JBJ was in top form. Hope little G didn't inhale too much of the concert breeze during the show!
