Things we don't blog about.

We can officially say that Spring has arrived, not only according to the date on the calendar, but also based on the shoes and wellies that adorn our feet, and the soggy grass poking its way out of the melting snow. So now it's time to bring you up to speed on a few things that have transpired in our little world. Things that we cannot capture with a cute photo and caption, but that make up such important parts of our lives.  Let's start with Alice. Our little-big girl never ceases to amaze us with her kindness, considerate nature and spectacular linguistic skills! When asked if she wants her muffin cut, she first says yes, then reflects and say "Actually, I will bite it" When Lucy picks her up from daycare and is upset after a tough day with Est elle she says "I'm just a little bit worried about you, Mummy" Unfortunately, being two also means getting sick - as I write this she is at the clinic with Guy, getting checked for an ear infection.

Have passport... can travel!

So if anyone wants to chip in and send the family on an all-expense paid trip to Maui - we're ready!

Sand in our toes...

No we are not going on another cruise this year, but we have just booked a week-long holiday in beautiful Ocean Park, Maine for July. We're looking forward to it already! Imagine the girls playing in the sand (some might go straight to eating it), walking on the hot boardwalk, and sipping the legendary raspberry-lime rickeys. Paradise on our very own continent!

Up from a nap

And on the potty, watching "Sid the science kid" (thanks, Grandad) Estelle, poor thing, is completely blocked from watching the TV!

The girls

Proud poppa

Guy and Estelle only moments after the little one rolled over from her tummy to her back (and we promptly put her back, hoping for a repeat) What a wonderful milestone for a Saturday morning!
