Elly and Thomas the Tank Engine

Fathers day

I got a cute present today.
And this glass is definitely half full.

I can drive now!

Spring! And Elly is in the park

We took Elly and her little pram to the local park for a bit of a run-around. So young and she already has the urge to follow the ice cream van.

At the Parthenon

After climbing the steps and carrying Elly all the way, we managed to talk some lovely Japanese tourists into taking a photo for us. Unfortunately Elly wasn't so keen on the photo...

Overall we were very impressed with the Parthenon and the new museum. Ironically the museum is finished and the Parthenon is still being rebuilt, but there you go. Bridie was so impressed that she has changed her stance on the Parthenon Marbles - they should go back home.

We're now planning a trip to the British Museum. Steve will need to keep an eye on Bridie just in case she starts dragging large and heavy bags out of the museum.

Of course the fun part was climbing down again, while Elly slept on daddy's shoulder.

How gorgeous!

Chicken Girl

Here is a cute photo taken at Elly's nursery.
You can see a mixture of impatience for being forced to wear a hat, while enjoying posing for the camera.

Look who's close to walking by herself!

Look what Mummy made

Not me....the hat! Mummy did a crochet course recently and has been having some fun with what she can now do!

Look what I made

Elly celebrated her birthday with her UK friends today (somewhat
belated) and I made her a Dolly Varden (or for some, a Barbie) cake.

She had a lovely day and more photos will follow.

Having a swinging good time!
