David and Sophie Get Down with a WII

 

Our New Arrival

Bamboo. Hatched October 28th 2007

Pink is the New Black

Would the Real Marx Brother Please Stand Up?

Sophie's 1st day at JK, David's 4th in Grade 1

Never one to miss a birthday party for himself, this makes 3 for David this year.

Hee, hee...

My beloved twister playing family arrives from the UK tomorrow. Oh, the Glamour of Air Travel! Hopefully, there flight will not be delayed by 30 hours as mine was. I did, however, get to visit Manchester, something I had never done before except from the comfort of my couch.

How The Mighty Have Grown: David and Rafaella

Yes. I Damn Well Miss Them!!!

David is now 6.

It seems such a long time ago that he was born. I can remember Harry looking at David as if to say, why did you bring home one of those when not only am I self-cleaning, I am also furry.

While am sorry to have missed David's actual birthday, we will have another, even grander one on his return this Friday. It may be a disaster, but we bought him a drum kit!

Perhaps not the best action shot of David, but just notice the angle on those flames!




Sophie blames the unseasonably wet weather for her bad hair day.















Twister no less. And who's missing in all these shots? Me.

To quote David and Sophie, 'two sleeps' until we are reunited.

Sophie's a runaway bride!

And she looks pretty happy about it! 

"What do you think of the gold one, Sophie?"

"Not a lot", says Sophie.

Meg and David get cozy; Max is oblivious but Keeley isn't. 

Daddy's girl!

Daddy turns up just in time to have some cake, and Sophie is thrilled. 

Happy Birthday, Sophie!

She's just thrilled to be blowing out those four candles on her birthday cake! 

Big brother is a good sport!

David and Jack desperately try to look cool in their pink party hats. You just have to take your hat off to them for getting into the spirit of the party! 

Sophie is the Belle of the Ball

She's four year's old and loving it! Here she is at her party, with shocking pink hair and face make-up. The smile says everything. 

Just you wait!
