On their way home.
It’s Jimmy!!
Cookie Monster was reunited with KK tonight.
And Jes got a good ol’ American burger for dinner.
Grenoble, France
Jes was at the Grenoble office for two days.
This city has a nice view of the Swiss Alps.
This is Jes’ co-worker Ellen.
Apparently there is only one hotel in Grenoble.
When in Grenoble, sip some Chartreuse.
This is another co-worker, Trevor.
Group shot!
It looked like a fun last night in France.
London to Geneva
Where’s Cookie?!
Yes, that is their rental car.
More from London
This is what the cabs look like in London. So cute.
I think this is the view from the office. I wonder if his co-workers think Jes is a little crazy by now.
They had dinner at Jamie Oliver’s joint. Jes gave it 2 out 5 stars and said it was “way too salty” and that “we’re super spoiled in SF”.
Will travel for cookies.
Jes left for London last night and found a stowaway in his backpack. He didn’t know that Cookie Monster would be traveling with him to Europe but so far they are getting along just fine. KK’s been loving the photos that Jes has been texting to me. She said “Cookie Monster with Dada!” This is definitely a fun way to see the world through my husband’s eyes and a good way for him to appreciate his surroundings a little more while he’s working. Hopefully they will keep coming throughout the week.
So far, it looks like Jes enjoyed a martini at the airport prior to boarding the plane.
This is his Business Class seat with lie-flat chairs and foot rest.
Cookie Monster does a pretty good photo bomb. 
Hm. That looks like a vodka soda behind him. Jes is really living it up on his flight.
London Heathrow Airport at 3:00 pm on a Sunday looks kinda dead.
This looks like a pretty fancy train/shuttle. At first I thought he was on a Virgin America flight.
Jes took the subway to his hotel.
Cookie Monster reminds us to “mind the gap”.
After checking in, a nice tall beer at the hotel sounds like a good idea.
Project Piglet
This year, I decided to make KK’s costume. She was going to be Piglet and I thought it was easy enough to figure it out.
At Target, I found a shirt, tights, and hair clips that were the perfect shade of pink. Then I went to the fabric store and bought a big piece of bright pink felt.
I traced one of KK’s dresses for the pattern and then cut out two pieces.
The two pieces got pinned and sewn together. Thanks for lending me your machine, Susie!!
The fabric got flipped over to make a little dress! When I tried it on KK, it came out too long. Luckly it worked out because then I could tuck the fabric inside and pin it to make it a little poofier.
The last part was drawing stripes with a Sharpie. It was surprisingly easy to do!
I also cut out the ears and glued them onto hair clips. Thanks for lending me your glue gun, Stephanie!!
Here are all the pieces put together and ready to go!
And here’s the final product in action:
