Calvin Lawrence Banks


Calvin was born on October 13th! Just another one to join us with the 13th birthdays! He was 8 lbs. 3 oz and 21.5 inches long. I think he is so beautiful! I can't wait to talk to Angie and hear all about it. I'm thinking about them everyday! I love this little family!

Mom and Dad-I'm so happy for them!
Calvin is so cute!

I thought of the Banks while in London!

Day 39

Well we got back and then I took all day Saturday to catch up on blog, facebook and sleep. Nothing super exciting. I tried to find Michael to tell him about Calvin, but he wasn't at the church so I just gave up. I went to the apple store and got an appointment for Tuesday afternoon for them to look at my computer. I hope it goes well, but it is forever away! Pray for that little computer! need it to work-AND I hope all my pictures aren't gone forever because I don't have them backed up.

Happy to be back in Paris!

Day 38

I am at a hostel in Luton England, close to the Luton airport, because we fly out tomorrow at 6h00. It was a good day. Super tiring, but of course good. My computer is broken. It won't turn on anymore so I will go to the Apple store tomorrow. I will have to do this post tomorrow, because we are sharing the computer. But I'm good-really really good!

I for got to say that my little cousin was born!! Calvin Lawrence Banks! More to come! Good night.

Take two:

Okay it is going to be super hard to keep up with posts because my computer is not working. It turns on, has an apple sign, and then it has a circle with a slash through it. Not a good sign I am thinking. I have a rendez-vous with the genius desk in the Louvre on Tuesday at 15h20. A lot of good that is doing me now! So I am using Ally's computer while she is in the shower.

Okay going back to what I did on our last day in London. We tried to see the changing of the guards, but it turns out that it only goes on every other day. after we realized, we went back to Westminster Abbey, but it was expensive so we didn't go in. Then we head over to Hyde park and Kensington park and enjoyed a nice stroll, even though I was so dead.

We went toward Harrod's and Victoria and Albert Museum. The museum was cool. I breezed through it, but I liked it. I went back to the hostel and slept for a little bit on the couch. We made our way to Luton where we stayed for the night, because we had an early flight. That's about all.
