Emma's First Hair Cut



Well Emma's first hair cut was at a British super cuts in the mall. She got to sit on a high seat while the man cut her hair. She was perfect, no crying and sat very still. She was probably still mesmerized by the squirt bottle.

Baby #2 Pics



Baby K*K or as Emma refers to the baby, "Princess", is moving and growing. Here are some recent pics for everyone to look at. Due around the 22nd of June and yes we will be having him or her in the states. We are going to fly back to the states on Saturday May 1st. Looking forward to seeing everyone, before our life's change again.

Miss you all!

Adam's 33rd Birthday



This is a late post but I thought people would like to see pics.

We celebrated Adam's 33rd in London. We dropped Emma off with Greg R, who gracefully watched her for us at the IC London Center. Then Adam and I escaped for a couple hours to go see a cirque show. Very neat to see the show performed at the Royal Albert Hall. Such a beautiful space. Afterwords we all got back together and went to a Thai Pub for dinner...YUM.

Camden Town




Went to Camden town this past weekend to walk around and hang out. It was ever so cold out side and I was constantly fighting Emma to wear here mittens. We also tried out this new restaurant for lunch called Hummus Bros. Wow was it delicious, just bowls of hummus with interesting toppings. I had the hummus with guacamole...yum. Emma was kinda in dipping heaven. After lunch we fought the crowds to get through the market, didn't really buy anything. I think we went for more of a day out than shopping trip. Went and watched the canal boats go through the Camden locks. I think Adam was jealous and was reminiscing and teaching Greg R all about the locks and controlling them. Of course by that point Emma was sound asleep...too bad for her.

Good day out with family and a friend.

1st Day at Nursery School

Well the day has come when Emma is now old enough to join in a school. We signed Emma up for a Nursery School down the street from us here in London, Willows Preschool. She got a new book-bag for school and a pair of Wellies and with her lunch bag in hand she headed off to school for the 1st day. Now it is just another schedule for us to remember. One thing is fantastic; she is exhausted by the days end. Daddy drops her off in the morning and mommy picks her up in the afternoon. She started of with tears when she headed in and now a week later we have tears when it came time to leave.



Cancun in December

Well the day after Christmas we all packed up (the 6 of us) and headed to Cancun. Our little winter holiday was fantastic. Our first day in Cancun we commandeered a cabaƱa for the entire day; right next to the pools and food. We spent the entire day lounging around and eating (and of course taking turn on who went in the pool with Emma). On our second day we made it down to the beach for all sorts of fun. Grandpa built sandcastles with Emma, and buried her in the sand. She had no fear of the water and walked right into crashing waves. We ventured away from the all inclusive resort and had dinner at a great Mexican restaurant downtown. They knew just how to make guacamole!

Christmas 09


And back on a plane we go, as we now journey back to the states for Christmas. We head to New Jersey to have Christmas with the Kollmann’s, on the 24th. Christmas came early to us as when we arrived at Heathrow Airport to find out that we were upgraded to first class for our long trip back to the states. WOW, that I can get use to, and apparently so could Emma (as now Emma expects to get warm nut and grapes when she rides any airplane). We had a lovely and quite Christmas in Jersey with Grandma and Grandpa Kollmann, Aunt Kit Kit and the Bauser clan. Emma really enjoyed playing with Grandpa’s train sets (which he placed at her level on purpose).
