Birthday Boy

Noah makes it to the ripe age of 2!! We are very proud of our accomplishment of making it this far! We are starting to get the hang of this parenting thing.

Found these in the attic!

Rob and Steve join the Crew

Rob and Steve stopped by for a few days after their motorcycle tour through the Alps.

We took a short trip up to Rouen to see the sights.

The Palais du Justice of Rouen. You can see the all the bullet holes from a battle at the begining of the French Revolution.

The next day, we headed up to Omaha beach. Rob and Steve in front of the statue commemorating D-day.

A few minutes down the road is the famous Pointe du Hoc where U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs to secure this important defensive position from the German Army. Pictured above is a German gun placement with attached bunker.

Although scenic now, you can still see the scars on the land from the thousands of Allied bombs that it took to overtake this position.

The Price Family Vacation

September, 2010

Grandma and Grandpa Price came for a big old family vacation in September. We met them at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris and continued down to Marbella, Spain.

Sunset on the beach in front of our condo for the week.

Noah finally enjoyed the kiddy pool


... And so did Rani.


Enjoying a lovely meal on the beach at sunset


In front of the Don Juan statue!

Marbella Marina

"Grandpa! What are you doing to my Grandma!?"

Marbella has some very beautiful and quaint little streets filled with small boutiques and many flowering plants.

Not bad for a park bench, huh?

Invasion of the monkeys! We took a day trip down to Gibraltar. A tiny little country at the mouth of the Mediteranean. On our tour of The Rock, we got to see the famous monkeys.

Aargh, yey matey.

Look familiar?

Throughout history, the Rock of Gibraltar has been used as a defensive position in many wars. There are more miles of roads and tunnels inside the mountain than there are in the rest of the country. Here, Noah is peeking out a cannon hatch.

Back home, we visited a local castle that was built by Richard the Lionheart in the 11th century.

It was situated on a hill side overlooking the Seine.

We even got attacked by this crazy crusader!

Another day was spent in Paris. Grabbing a snack in Les Jardins de Tuileries

And blowing off some steem!

Notre Dame

When in Paris....

Grandma Cerny in France... and other places

August, 2010

Grandma Cerny came to visit in August. It was a great time to see our new home, hang outside, and see the sights.

Dejeuner dans le jardin

While she was here, we had to go to Geneva, Switzerland to take care of some Visa issues. Noah was loving this little car ride.

On the other side of Lake Geneva, we visited this beautiful castle.

We were chillin' after a nice panini lunch



Mommy and Noah

Mom and I took a fun day trip into Paris to visit the Louvre.

You have to snap a picture of this famous lady, right?


While Grandma was visiting, Noah started his first day at his new creche (daycare).

With some normal Northern France weather, we travelled up to the English Channel and visited Omaha beach. One of the landing spots for the Allied invasion on D-day during World War II.

One of the few remaining German gun placements arranged along the beach.

With the weekend approaching, we took the ferry across the English Channel from Calais, France to Dover, England on our way to London.

Noah loved the buses. See his hand...

Our view from the London Eye. Basically a very large ferris wheel.

Look kids, Big Ben!

Westminster Abbey

Family shot!

On the drive back home, we stopped at Leeds Castle.
