Honeymoon Phase 1: Germany

Several weeks after our wedding, now that the family is gone and we are a bit settled into the new home it was definitely time for our honeymoon!
Bags packed, ready to go! (One guess which is mine!)

On to the first of many flights and the 1st stop, Wurzburg, Germany!

Germany was nothing that I expected. I always thought the language was harsh, and so would be the people and that the food wasn't good, and I will be the first to admit how wrong as was!

From the moment we got off the plane the people were so sweet and the language was soft and pretty.

And the food? Don't get me started! Amazing!

I thought this was funny in the airport, I guess the see their women as being rather large!

So what was there to do in Wurzburg? Visit this beautiful castle! After the most fairy tale wedding a visit to a castle just seemed right!

Here it is in the distance behind us.

Here it is from the town (which was super cute by the way)

In the town for some shopping, eating and sight seeing!

As you can imagine, I took WAY more photos than I am posting here, one day when I feel up to it I will post all to facebook.

And no, Germany was not perfect, but almost, I had no idea how much Europeans smoke! Geez! I really can't stand cigarette smoke! But other than that... pure amazingness!

Signing out from Denmark! (Yes, we are now in Denmark!...and it is beautiful here as well!)

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?" They both shrugged. I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member. Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning. I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait. And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over. We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together. We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again. Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well. All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth My contractions never got intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness. Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
