Milo's World...

Milo wanted to do a post today!!!!!!

    

Hey Guys! Not much has been going on here the past few days.... just trying to get settled in.... Daddy has started going to work. Me and Mommy just hang out at the apartment bc i havent been feeling so hott. I have 3 teeth coming in and its the worst thing thats ever happened to me....But its a good thing that i learned how to say Momma.... because now i can call her anytime i need her... which is pretty much all the time..... so me and mom are having a bit of a rough patch..... but dont worry....once i'm feeling better we will get back out there exploring. Its starting to get really chilly here. Im already having to wear pants and sweatshirts when i go outside. If its this cold now, i dont know how we are going to make it through winter.

So since we arent doing much, i thought i would get on a share a few pics of your favorite subject....ME.

Look familiar

How bout now?

This is one of my token sleeping poses

Here are a few pics of me during my playtime after bath..... i love bath and playtime....so this is the best time of day!...

Here is another of me knocked out on the couch. They finally got me an actual crib yesterday. 

I had mom get out our point and shoot camera.... turns out she hadn't unloaded the pictures since february... There are a few blurry ones, but sometimes they still capture the moment....here are a few of my faves...

When i was little i loved looking in the mirror....heck, i still do. 

I dont even look like myself in this picture. 

Chillin at kailua beach park...reading a book.

I love this outfit!

Here's one of me and mom! 

Me and my main squeeze Walker... i miss that kid. 

Me and dad at Bellows.... 

THis one is more recent... my hair is awesome. 

Its a Jungle out there!!!!   

This is in waikiki with my cool friend lacey. 

these are from the road trip to STL.... don't worry, we were parked....my parents aren't cool enough to let me out of the car seat when the vehicle is moving. 

Mommy loves this picture!...she says i look all grown up...

Here's My girl Jacinta.... We met up when we went to DC. She took us to this great creole restaurant... mommy wouldnt let me eat anything, but it sure smelled good. 

This is the other day. My parents took me to a Pub...thats right...A PUB!!!!.... i didnt want it to have a bad influence on me... so i went to sleep. 

Hope you guys have enjoyed my update!....I gotta get back to giving momma a hard time...Love you!

Windsor castle

Let me preface this by saying that my husband is extremely prepared and organized.....sometimes a bit too much.... Whenever he does one of these things, i call it a "Booker Move." Because his dad, Dave Booker, happens to be the most prepared, thorough man i know and Mrs Kim is very organized....now i know that technically I am a Booker now, but these traits didnt magically transfer over to me..... but JR still says im the brains of the operation, so i must have something good going.....now onto my story.....

So Monday we decided to do a dry run to JRs work so there would be no problems tuesday.....Such a Booker thing to do :)    So JR looks up the directions of how to get there and everything. We walk to the tube, take the tube to richmond, take the train from richmond to feltham (where he works). Its then that JR realized that he didnt look up the directions from the train station to his actual work.....So not a Booker move.  I was shocked and appalled! ..... so we decided to go to windsor castle instead since we were already headed that direction..... so we had to wait for 30 minutes for a train to come back by.... then about 5 minutes before the train gets there JR finds his building on the map posted at the station which he has been looking at the whole time..... Now thats a JR move...but thats another story for another day.

So we head off to windsor castle and its a lovely little town with a castle smack dab in the middle. JR kept saying he felt like he was at epcot :)  Anyway, here are some photos.

and kisses for momma :)

We had lunch at this wonderful little italian restaurant called Zizzi. And we had a wonderful time. You know there are those times that you have an out of body experience and realize this moment is perfect and you try to soak it up....well maybe you dont, but i do..... and during lunch we had one of those. There we were in the Windsor next to this gorgeous castle, enjoying a delicious and fresh meal.....in such a wonderfully decorated restaurant. JR is playing with milo and she is just giggling non-stop. It was perfect.....and then i pulled out my video camera to try and capture it and i ruined it.... moments like that just cant be captured.... So i need to start taking some ginko biloba to improve my horrible memory. Anyways. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Love you! 

A fresh start

In case you havent noticed, we have combined our blogs (the hawaii one and Milo one). This will make everything easier. And I have made our blog cute :).... So just wanted to give everyone an update...
The trip over: The trip was good since the flight is shorter than from hawaii. It was 6 hours and 45 minutes. Milo was wake for the first 3 hours....playing and stuff. She didnt get fussy  for a while. Then she slept for the last 4 hours....JR and I dozed on and off while she slept, but you know how it goes. You cant really get any sleep on a plane...Unless you are in first class or milo's size. We landed in london and had to wait a while in customs but everything went smoothly. Everyone just ooh-ed and ahh-ed at Milo....

We took a london taxi to our apartment..... Its up a flight of stairs. So guess who got to lug all 6 of our humongous suitcases and stroller....JR....and he did a great job. After we got settled a bit, we took a nap and explored the square near our apartment that has shops and food.  We pretty much just hung out around here to relax and unwind. Here are some pics of the area up the street.

Ive found that signs here are straight to the point...no beating around the bush. 

Today we decided to go into london. First we took the tube to buckingham palace, then walked to West Minster abbey and Big Ben. Then we walked over to a took a ride on the london eye. Then, just as we have heard about, it started to rain. We were unprepared and got wet. I sacrificed and covered milo with the blanket so she wouldnt melt. We eventually passed a place that sold umbrellas, but not until after my Vibrams, jeans, and hair were soaked. Side note: Vibrams are definitely not made for rain. We had a bit of trouble getting to the london eye because of the construction on the tube system around there, but we made it. Then ate at wagamamas.... i thought it was good, but after living in hawaii its hard to get asian food as good as it was there. And oh how i will miss the good asian food. Well anyway. We are now back at the apartment and are sleepy. Milo was so exhausted after the long day of being carried and waited on hand and foot that she just spread eagle on the bed asleep. :) here are some pictures from our day....

So that has been our time so far. Milo is getting 3 teeth on the top all at the same time so she has been a bit fussy. Pray they will stop hurting soon so she can get some rest....and by she i mean both of us. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us and messaging on facebook. Its nice to hear from family and friends. I feel a bit disconnected since we cant really call anyone yet. We have been doing skype with some of our family. JRs screen name is jrbooker. Look us up and friend us. We would love to chat. Keep in mind we are 6 hours ahead of memphis. We usually have skype pulled up from 7-10 here which is 1-4 there.... Hopefully we will figure out the whole cell phone thing soon and be able to call other times too. We love you and miss you! Hopefully we can keep this updating on a roll.... The more people comment...the more it makes us motivated to keep posting :P
