London Trip: Unpictured

I would've posted earlier (like Saturday night when we returned) but I fell asleep face-down on the rug waiting for the computer to start up so I figured I'd better go to bed... Now I've got a little time before work but I don't have any of the pictures yet, so I will just say we're back and give you some of the little memorable moments from the trip not captured in pictoral form (but these are the things that made the vacation real):

• We changed diapers in the following places: Starbucks; the stroller; on the grass in a sunny spot overlooking the Thames and Tower Bridge; a few restaurant booths; on some steps outside Westminster Abbey after Evensong.
• I fell down the stairs in our rented apartment while trying to get downstairs to the bathroom. And proceeded to further embarrass myself by peeing a little in my pants. And proceeded to even further embarrass myself by blogging about it.
• I tripped and nearly fell down the stairs getting on the subway a mere 36 hours later.
• The second night the guys decided to have a gas-passing contest while watching a movie. Not sure who won that one, but I'm pretty sure the girls lost; we had to watch from the dining room. (Boys.)
  
• When we were just flying into Boston, Eden was sleeping very soundly in the seat next to me, but I had to pick her up for landing. She didn't even stir. I cradled her close and stared at her peaceful baby face, mouth slightly open in that beautiful triangle I fell in love with on the ultrasound before she was even born. Her sweet baby breath blew softly in my face, and I wanted to freeze the moment. Bryan came over to the seat next to me and put his arm around us and all I could think was thank you God for this little slice of perfection this side of eternity. If the entire trip had consisted of just that one moment I think it would have been a complete success.

That's it for now. If you want more details before I get around to blogging about it again, you can check out J&K's blog or B&P's blog (each with Installment #1).

I'll leave you with this beautiful picture of Eden that P took just before she got sprayed with water from the fountains behind her (another unpictured but hilarious moment):
