Cheerio!

Mom and Dad have just returned from a chilly visit to England. Although they loved visiting with Roo and Annie and Esme and Penny.... Mom said she was disappointed that the weather was almost as cold as Idaho.

(These pictures refuse to rotate from their original sideways position, no matter what I do to them)

They had lots of fun tending the girls while Roo and Annie celebrated Valentines Day in Poland. Roo and Annie also got to go out to dinner and to the temple while Mom and Dad were in town. Mom enjoyed long (but cold) walks around the village and town.

The girls are at fun ages, with Penny just starting to walk on her own as long as she has something to hold onto for balance. Esme is talking up a storm, with full and complete sentences, but Mom says there's no sign of an English accent yet (dangit!). She also said that it was fun to do Esme's hair in lots of different styles, and Mom was impressed that Esme actually let her hair be styled.
Another exciting thing that happened while in England was a very important meeting Mom had with our potential representative for the Banana Brush in the UK and greater Europe. They talked contracts and Mom delivered a whole suitcase of product.

 Esme's hairstyle rocks.

Penny is going for more of an "Elvis" look.
