February was an exciting month for us. Besides visiting Buckingham*Palace and attending the Brits we also celebrated living in London FIVE years. Can you believe it? I honestly cannot. It's difficult to really grasp. Kaneu was 18 months old when we moved here. A baby! As I was thinking how in the world it has been five years that we've been here I started digging into the photo database and took a very fond walk down memory lane. Our first year hear was INSANE!! We had at least one visitor a month during our first year and we travelled to at least 9 new cities and countries in addition to visiting the US three times. I'm thinking I may have overlooked a few, but seriously, how did we do that? And how is Brian still employed?! Wow, what a year.
Before we left the States we stayed our final weekend with our BFFs and they gave us a little present (see above). It's a jar full of glass pebbles and on the back of each pebble they wrote what they would miss about is. Is that not the sweetest? Some of them are sentimental and others are just downright hilarious. Here are many photos - of our final days before trekking across the Atlantic as well as our first year in London. Enjoy!

Congrats on Five years! Looks like they have been full of great adventure.
Ok, I'm totally a nerd because I was SO EXCITED to see a post from you! And then to have it filled with darling pictures of your BABY boy!!! Awesome.
The jar of pebbles is perhaps the coolest gift I have *ever* seen.
Happy five years!
Wow! Five years! That's crazy. Congrats!
I love seeing all the awesome places you guys have been.... but even better is BABY Kaneu! Wow! I can't believe how little he is...
Now I feel the need to book a trip.
I love the jar of pebbles- You have great friends! Five years of memories=fabulous! I love your blog!!
I forgot about that jar until we were there last time. That really was a great idea if I do say so myself! :)
CAN NOT believe it's been 5 years and can't believe we've survived this long w/o you. Love you!
So nice to see pics of K as a little baby! Looks like the past 5 years have been great! Especially the trips to Cote d'Zur... jealous!
WOW! Five years! Mighty impressive I tell you! Your pics are so great. The colors are awesome and I love the box format too :) I really enjoyed looking at the baby pics of Kaneu! How precious! Happy 5 years!!
Happy FIVE years in London. Wow! That is a seriously long time to live abroad, and I have to say you guys are so good at taking advantage of living in Europe and all that has to offer! I loved seeing all these photos of baby Kaneu since I've only started reading your blog since he was a "big" boy (I'm talking like 5 or 6, I guess :)
PS - LOVE the jar from your BFF's!
Gah!! 5 years! And that boy- oh my. What a cute baby. Those legs!! By the way, I love the first tea towel ;)
