we're baaaaaack!

so we had an amazing two weeks in england and are now back home. such a good time traipsing all over oxford and the south.

we landed yesterday and are getting ourselves settled back in. cole's catching up on his sleep (he must not subscribe to my theory that jet-lag doesn't exist) and i'm wading through many, many photos. here's just one to tide y'all over for a bit:

cole in the quad at the bodleian library. he missed the numerous playgrounds that we can find on every corner here in vancouver, but i tried to make up for the lack of slides and whatnot by letting him roam everywhere, from cathedrals to cloisters, from st. james park to a decrepit 13th century castle in wales...

more photos coming. 'soon' is my goal - 'eventually' may be more realistic! ;-)
