Our flight

Now that your back up to snuff with us lets at least start this trip off from the begining. There is a new policy at UOP that family doesn't get to travel with the employee in business class (at least they will not pay for it). As much as this does suck I can't complain TO much since they are still paying for us to get there. However lucky for us Troy make 1k status last year and so he gets 6 upgrades + a year. So for Jordan's first international flight (she was already on a plane for a quick tulsa, OK trip) we got all three of us upgraded to business. Poor troy missed out on having a nice peaceful trip alone up front. London got to try out his first pair of headphones for a special treat of watching tv....he watched Cars2 and LOVED it!

Whats up?

Well its been over a year since I posted last. A few things have changed.... we are now in Kuwait. We just got here yesterday. In august we had a baby girl we named Jordan Capri S. and is just as great of a little traveler as London. I can't say I will get a photo up daily because lets face it, 2 kids makes my day way more busy. However I know have a fancy iPhone so it should be easier than having to upload my photos from my camera disk via card reader to my computer. So for the most important thing that was missed.... here is miss Jordan Capri S. born on 8/10/11 wt 7 lbs 6oz and 20 in long. We are in love <3 As you can see she sleeps a ton. That last photo is the more recent one and she is a big smiley girl who loves to stick her tongue out at me.

Happy Birthday London!!!!!

Well our perfect weather disappeared today and we ended up with clouds but the rain did hold off. So our laying by the beach didn't happen. Instead we found london a beach playground!

Also we couldn't find a regular birthday cake but the hotel was nice enough to provide us with one. Parabens means congrats in Portuguese which is how they wish you happy birthday... maybe a congrats for making it one more year!?! LOL I DID find a #1 candle though! The cake was SO SWEET troy nor I could eat it so london got a lick and that was it. We will try to do a re-do in Des Plaines when we get back...

Copacabana Beach

8Oh my god the best beach EVER! The sand was soft but not so powder fine that its IN everything! LOL Great for sandcastles, playing, everything. Troy said the water was nice also but I was having to much fun with London in the sand to really go in! And we got a great sunset behind us right over Christ the Redeemer statue!
