Weekend Haps

This weekend we experienced a little bit of what it would be like to have two kids. On Saturday our friends Hilary and Matt added a new one to their family. So while that was all going down we watched after their two year old little, big girl Reese. We had Reese through the weekend and said goodbye yesterday afternoon. I think Scarlett was pretty excited to say goodbye to Reese after three days of playing/fighting/sharing/not sharing, but I have a feeling she's going to miss her playmate!

Saturday we took a rental car up to an abandoned mansion about an hour north of Budapest. It was once used as a summer home for a rich Jewish family before WWII. During the war they fled and never returned to claim their property. After the fall of Communism the government tried to reach the family. The only living relative, a 93 year old woman in Britain, wanted nothing to do with it.

There were plans to turn it into a five star hotel but nothing has been started and for now it just sits in disrepair...

On the way...These two kept each other entertained...it was a beautiful thing...



The mansion had 90 something rooms


Good little helper

I would love, love to do a bridal shoot here...any takers??

Yep, still only have two teeth...



This is me getting artsy with my self portrait :)

After the mansion we drove out to Telki to let Reese meet her new brother, Matson
