The Sunshine Project {Take 2}

I hope Kim and Summer don't mind me linking up a little late for this.  They normally do this on Thursdays--shame on me!   However, I didn't want miss the opportunity to shed some light on what brought sunshine into my life this week! 

First, we returned from our trip to London on Monday.  You guys, I can't even tell you just how much fun we had.  What an AMAZING city!  Although we were only there for 2 days (actually, less than that), we saw so much.  I definitely plan on sharing the details very soon!

Second, we literally had a lot of sunshine this week, in terms of the weather.  The only downside was having to be in the office most of the time instead of spending time out enjoying it.  Not to mention, there is no air conditioning in most of the office buildings (or in housing) and 80+ temps with your full uniform kinda stinks!

Third, on Thursday evening, Vaiosina and I went out to dinner with some friends to a restaurant called the Schnitzelhaus.  This place serves giant schnitzel--the kind that covers your entire plate!  Dee-licious

Fourth, today was Vaiosina's first time at a movie theater.  I'd been contemplating taking her to see several kids' movies over the course of the past few months, but always worried she wouldn't sit still through it or would make a fuss.  I think I need to give this little girl a bit more credit because she did great!  She saw Madagascar 3 today and loved it.  Stayed awake through the whole thing, enjoyed popcorn, and snuggled with me for a little bit of it.  What a blast!  Of course...Bear Bear's gotta tag along.  He loved it too :)  (Sorry about the blurry photo!)

Finally, thank goodness for Skype!  We got to chat with Malu today.  There's nothing sweeter than seeing your daughter kiss her daddy on the computer screen.  She even says "Muah!" when she kisses.  Too cute.  Less than a week and he'll be home!  So proud of all you do sweetheart!

Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend!
