Nanna's visit



Nanna arrived about 10 days ago and she should have gone home yesterday but I'm sure most of you have heard about the volcano in Iceland...... Well, her flight yesterday was cancelled about 15 minutes before we were going to set off for the airport. A couple of hours later we had managed to get her flight rearranged but she is not leaving until Monday. So, we are getting a few extra days with her which is lovely :)

We have had a very relaxing time really. Nanna has been playing cars a lot with Oliver and taking him for walks and to the playground. She even taught him how to play pooh sticks so that is a new thing he likes to do! And bath time with Nanna is a real hit with Emily. She really didn't enjoy it when I bathed her but it seems Nanna has the knack!!

Emily is growing more and more each day. She just likes to eat - and eat - oh, and eat a bit more!! She is starting to smile properly a little bit now. It's hard to catch it on camera at the moment but we're getting there!

Earlier this week I treated myself to a new digital piano. It's something I've wanted for a while and seeing as Jon got his pool table it was my turn for a toy!! Oliver has played a little on it but he seems to prefer all the flashing lights than the actual sounds - he turns the volume down most of the time (maybe it's my playing - I'm out of practice).

Lots more pictures and videos for you as always.......


Life is hard for one so young

Nanna arrived just as the chaos of bath and bedtime was in progress!

Oliver with his early birthday present from Nanna - keeps him amused when we are downstairs!

The pattern on the sofa is really interesting...

Oliver loves to copy Emily so he had to rest on the bed just like her!

Looking pretty in pink :)

Stop taking pictures of me - PLEASE!!

Bath time with Nanna is fun!
