More Visitors

We had a lot of excitement in our house for the last 4 days because the De Munniks were visiting us from Holland.  We had a good mixture of usual activities and special outings.  The boys were so excited to see Dylan and Travis again and it was great to see them all getting along so well!

Welcome Visitors

As I always say, it is great having visitors, it means so much to us.  We really enjoyed spending a lovely Sunday afternoon with Megs and Ced (Great Aunt and Uncle) in Richmond last month.  It makes me really miss family!

Visitors from Australia

The highlight of this week was a visit from our Australian family.  It was great to see Marianne, Steve and Christie again.  It really means a lot to us to connect with family so we really appreciated their visit.  Hint hint to the rest of you!

The present

Here's a post about the present for a change. We spent a lovely afternoon with Megs and Ced at Fulham Palace. Living so far from home we don't often get to see family so we're always pleased when the opportunity arises. Hint hint ... come and visit!

We had a lazy day at home on friday with no nursery, no activities, no friends and no excursions. It was great having nowhere to rush to for a change. When I found Daniel on the table and Nicholas laughing at him I decided it was time for a long bike ride to burn off some energy before supper.
Daniel's eyes light up with delight when ever he sees his trike
Nicholas prefers the balance bike to the pedal bike at the momentDaniel has decided that sniffing flowers is not enough
He tries to eat them nowdays
This is what Nick does when Dan doesn't follow his instructions
And if that doesn't work then he tries thisNicholas wanted the English flag next to the South African flag on his arm (what does that tell you?)
Our vegetable plants have grown into monsters and we're not sure what to do with them. There are lots of flowers to be seen but still no sign of the actual veggies. It's been two and a half months since we sowed the seeds. Is this normal? Can anyone give us some tips?

Last weekend's adventure involved going to the O2 to see the British Music Experience. Nicholas kept asking where the animals were and eventually we figured out that he thought it was a circus tent. We've never been to the circus before but we watched Dumbo recently. Shame, he was expecting flying elephants, all he got was some music. At least he added another London landmark to his list.
