Because I must finish the novel that has kept me up late at night for weeks now!
Just as little G has been fixated on the history here relating to World War II, I have been equally captivated by the stunning architecture of the buildings and cathedrals that I admire on a daily basis.
This must have become obvious to G's mom and dad when they were here back in April as G's dad was most thoughtful and brought home a delightful surprise for me on one of his outings, The Pillars of the Earth. It is a fantastic novel set in the High Middle Ages that chronicles the building of a beautiful cathedral in the town of Kingsbridge and tells the fascinating stories of the lives that are entwined in this Gothic building.
This has been a book that I have not been able to put down. However, with the 3 little monkeys that continuously jump around our home, I don't usually have more than a 10 minute reading window. I'm also afraid my dear husband is feeling a bit neglected by my fascination with this cathedral!
With all that being said, I have no time to write tonight as my novel is calling . . .
And thank you, R, for the book!
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!
