Chloe and Dee show how good they have become at walking

There is still nothing more exciting than making it down the landing without a tumble

And then quickly back into the lounge

to reward themselves with a snack (again very exciting - this is what I call Chloe’s geeky smile!)

And, whether he likes it or not, Dee is given some raisins too!

Rodeo Drive, Baby

You work on commission, right? Big mistake. Huge. Evie shows off an outfit she picked up on a recent shopping trip in L.A. (The leggings didn’t look quite so snug on the hanger…)

It’s a tough life, but somebody has to live it.

Becky just returned from what seems like her 35th holiday this year…but hey, a bride-to-be has to keep up her tan! This time it was a girlie holiday in Menorca: Eight girls, lots of gin, and even more gossip. It rained for the first two days…

But fortunately the sun soon came out… look at that gorgeous villa!

Breakfast and lunch every day on the veranda…

And a gorgeous private pool with a view.

Four out of 8 of the girls got engaged after the holiday was booked, which meant that a big hen night was in order..

It’s not a night out without an inflatable lobster…

Apparently there was a bucking bronco involved, too, though photographic evidence of this event has yet to emerge. Cheers!

BFFs

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

It’s a tough life working part-time… On Monday we met up for lunch with Allyson and the Shavelles: a bottle of rose for the grownups and some bonding time for Evie & Elliette

Walking with Daddy

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

A momentous occasion, Chloe and Christian took a leisurely stroll around the block this afternoon.  I, of course, stood at the door taking far too many photos, and generally admiring my two favourite people in the world!

Chloe feeling pretty pleased with herself as she comes down the home stretch…

Then, 1o steps before the front door, boldly lets go of Daddy’s hand to cross the finish line all on her own!

 And finally awards herself with a round of applause for a job well done!

Doll face

Monday, September 8th, 2008

At first, Evie wasn’t quite sure what to make of Paige’s doll. Should she taste it? Bang her hand on its head?

We think it’s a good sign that she settled on giving it a cuddle.
