Chloe came over to visit her Grandad and Grandma Muz the other afternoon…only to discover that there’s a new granddaughter in town! There appeared to be mixed feelings on both sides, though we can tell it’s only a matter of time before it’s true love forever. Reading some books on Grandma Muz’s lap turned out to be a battle for who could get all the books. (Hannah would like to point out that the only time she has seen Chloe willing to sit quietly on Muz’s lap for reading hour was when Evie was already there first!) They started off with one each, but since when is that any fun?Evie now seems to have two, but Chloe doesn’t look happy about it. Oh, it almost got ugly… and Evie, no wallflower, definitely held her own!  In case you’re wondering how Chloe joined Evie & Muz, it was bum first!Much better… But deep down, we know they love each other. Look at Chloe showing Evie how her toys work…And she even let Evie play with Dee. Now that’s serious business. Sharing toys is thirsty business..  A time-out with Nan-nan is in order.And then a quiet stroll with Dee in Evie’s buggy. (How pretty is our little Chloe?!)     Meanwhile, Evie spends some quality time with her Auntie Hannah…And her Grandma Muz…After a long hard day of invading Chloe’s dance space, it’s time for a quiet bath with Grandma Muz and Nan-nan. 

Cathie (nee Zachar) from Westfield sent Evie Bean a lovely sweater dress and matching hat. Fortunately Evie had just the pair of legwarmers to pull the whole outfit together.

Rob (and perhaps Evie when she’s old enough to know) preferred the outfit without the hat.

But what does Evie care? She just got her driving license!

Rob and I went to a wedding on Saturday that had a digital photo booth for the guests. It seemed like a good opportunity to show off my new ‘do… and yes, these photos are a QO exclusive! A little stiff to start…

Then we realized that everyone else was using it as a kissing booth:

I think we banged noses this time…

Later in the evening people started getting really creative with their poses. Rob and I couldn’t think of anything funny, so I just put on his glasses and thought that something funny would come to us when we got into the booth. As you can see, nothing funny came to us.

Evie & Elliette commiserate with each other over the cold that I gave them both…sorry, babies!

Monday mornings don’t get much more fun than when you can simply chase each other around the coffee table for hours on end, and never get bored! Still a little wobbly on her feet, so a few tumbles here and there, but who cares about that!

the fun just keeps on coming…

Until, crash, “I’m tired Mummy - I’m all out of fun for one morning!”

Evie shows off her trendy leg-warmers…

Well, if you’re going to be in a band, you’ve got to have a look…

Shake it up baby!

The old ‘uns on holiday in Rachel’s villa in Ayamonte Spain.  We played a bit of golf at the local course at Costa Esuri … the familiar QO posed picture!! and down the coast at Islantilla .. Initial winner of the SWOT trophy (Senior Waylors On Tour) was Suzanne after a tight last round edging out MGT with Dianne finishing fast and John hanging in there!!The vila is close to the beach at Isla Christina Suzanne & John left a day later than planned due to their flight being cancelled in a huge storm. Then Rachel and John came out to join us for the second week.Great time had by all …… before returning to cold wet England!

Maybe you can’t remember the first time you tried, but it takes an awful lot of concentration to eat a banana. It’s one thing to hold it, but quite another to maneuver it into eating range.

Evie experiments with just mashing it straight into her mouth.

So pleased with herself!
