The Burton Family: October 2014
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Last week we went on a big family vacation and toured parts of Slovenia and Italy. The odds were stacked against us from the beginning though. I sprained my ankle a couple of weeks ago and it still hadn't healed in time for the vacation. Fox got sick just before leaving and while driving out of the neighborhood our GPS crashed. Sheesh! After a short drive, we found ourselves in Venice. We spent one night in the city (because we couldn't afford a second). It's as beautifu...Next,...

The Burton Family: May 2014
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. And costumes for some random day NOT in October at that. That's ok because you know what I figured out? Sewing skills are acquired through osmosis. Well, the basics anyway. I think all that watching paid off in the end. It only took me FIVE hours! Thursday, May 15, 2014. What a great way to celebrate Easter! Check out the lion. Doesn't he look like John Bon Jovi? Someone had to have given him that haircut. The day before Mom and Dad left we headed out to one of our favorite countrys...

The Burton Family: November 2014
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 1, 2014. Say hello to our swamp monster and red devil! I love that every year our kids want to dress up like something scary for Halloween. It's a source of pride one might say. Also, I was very proud that Andrew decided to dress up this year, even though it was only for 15 mintues.and a tad sacriligeous.But come on, Elder Vadar? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Burton Family: March 2015
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Fox has been asking for a year now when he was going to lose a tooth and when it finally happened, he lost two! Way to go Fox! The best part was that he lost one at school and got a little trinket box to keep it in. Best. day. ever. Monday, March 16, 2015. We also enjoyed the vantage from the Acropolis and a neighboring hill. And exploring the ancient Roman and Ancient Agoras. If I had to name the highlight of the trip, it was definitely hiking up the tall hills around Athens....

The Burton Family: January 2014
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 24, 2014. Ringing in the New Year. It seems as though we've got a little catching up to do! In December, I was part of the International Women's Club Christmas Bazaar to raise money for local charities. For the American table we raffled off themed baskets. Mom was gracious enough to send me a package of Cajun goods and even some Mardi Gras pot holders she sewed. They really gave the basket a nice touch. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Burton Family: Burton Family Bands
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2015/06/burton-family-bands.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Last year, we gave Fox a drumset for his birthday and Eden and guitar for hers. Fox has been taking lessons with a great teacher here, Vlada, and Andrew has been teaching Eden guitar. They had their public debut - there's still some conflict over the name of their band - at the school talent show, playing "Wild Thing," with Eden's friend Natalia singing. The entire crowd was blown away. Video 1: Eden, Fox, and Natalia. The Snails or The Trashpacks, depending on whom you ask).

The Burton Family: Istanbul and Another Easter with Grandparents
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2015/06/istanbul-and-another-easter-with.html
Thursday, June 11, 2015. Istanbul and Another Easter with Grandparents. Last time they were here (together with Grandma Pa and Papa David), we took them to Croatia and Bosnia. This year we went a bit further afield and flew to Istanbul. The city was an exciting mix of European and Middle Eastern culture. My favorite image was a display of swimsuits- ranging from bikini to full-body. And of course, we had some great food (and, frankly, some that was not so great). Andrew's favorite was the whole-pista...

The Burton Family: Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day
http://andrewandmandyburton.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-fathers-day.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day. It was a busy weekend over here recently. Fox's birthday and Father's Day are usually pretty close together and this year they were in the same weekend. We told the kids we weren't having parties here for them and instead they can celebrate with their cousins when they get to Louisiana. Fox did have one friend over though to enjoy the day's festivities which included Jurrasic World (no nightmares to date! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, June 22, 2014. Happy 6th Birthday Fox! A week before the party, Eden and Fox had their last day of school. They had a great year and were sad to part from their teachers and friends. We're glad that we'll be in Serbia for another year so that they can return to ISB. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Happy 6th Birthday Fox! View my complete profile. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.
