Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

Waiting to go on the Vampire Tour.
Looking forward to hitting the hay and taking these shoes off.

Another amazing day with Chris, Emilia, Thom, Heidi, Matthew and Andrew.

Andrew is amazingly cute! Hungry little bug, but cute as can be!
Matthew is adorably cute! So sweeeeeeet...most of the time. Really loves Emilia because she is wrapped so tightly around his little finger, he knows she will always put him on her shoulders.

---Emilia just asked if Matthew was going on the Vampire Tour and I shook my head, and she told me, "you look so serious." To which I responded, "I'm too tired to smile." Because it is true. I am waaaaayyyyy toooooo tired to smile.
