Emily has a little secret she'd like to share with you all...

...almost there...

Yay!

A new little baby is due to join our family at the end of March 2013!
I'll update more later, but suffice to say, we are absolutely thrilled
(and I'm no good at keeping these things secret!!!)

The Milkshake Battle

Morning folks... a little contribution from David and an event that happened over the weekend! Enjoy xxx

Sleepover

We had Emily's cousin (and my niece!) Rebekah sleeping over last night. Rebekah is Gabriella's older sister but as she is of school-age, doesn't get much air time on my blog. Emily adores her, calls her Baka, and laughs at anything she says. After Emily went to sleep, Bek and I made muffins, watched Anastasia and snuggled. Emily was so pleased to see her again this morning, the smile has barely left her face.

Recently

Here's what we've been up to recently...

Nannu visited for a weekend and lots of time was spent playing together!

Growing feet = new shoes

We caught up with little NCT friends

And had lots of fun with Daddy

She is really, really trying to colour within the lines :)

Emily's Mickey obsession has reached new levels.
He even gets given her beloved Cloth to sleep with... now that's special treatment right there!

We also visited Willows Farm Village with some good friends... but that deserves a post to itself.
Watch this space.

The Pet Shop

Last week started out as one of those really, really, really boring weeks. The type of week where there are no plans, not many people around and to top it off, I wasn't very well. Emily, bless her, had been very patient but on Tuesday afternoon it all become too much.

So we got into the car and headed to the pet shop.

We saw rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, more rabbits, bearded dragons, lots of dogs, and hundreds of fish. She loved the rabbits and the rats. The bearded dragon caught her attention for a few minutes, until she started shouting at it and I had to move her away.

The fish were in aquariums piled high so I had to lift her up to see most of them and she didn't want that, but when I put her down she made a beeline to the closest open aquarium, and it was pretty easy to read her mind, and one word covered it: SPLASHING!

So back to the rabbits it was. And after that, the week got much better. We had a few playdates and caught up with friends, and that makes us happy.
