On Wednesday we headed down to Dorset (Alison’s Country Home) for a relaxing last few days. As we were driving we happened upon Stonehenge – so we had to do a quick walk around. Stonehenge is quite a site –… Continue Reading →
Today was a very relaxing day for us. We are staying with Alison in Clapham and woke up to a beautiful sunny (yes there is sun in england) day! We had tea and toast in the back garden and elsie… Continue Reading →
We drove into London this afternoon (after a quick stop at the Dragon School for Boys in Oxford) to have dinner with Glynn, Cindy, Peter and Anika. Elsie was named for Elspeth (Mark’s Mom) and Elspeth was named for her… Continue Reading →
On Sunday we headed to Steeple Aston to visit the Kewley family (Jan is Mark’s godmother). We didn’t get a photo of the B&B we were staying at in Badsey until now and Mark wanted everyone to see that we… Continue Reading →

She loves baths just like her mom! Sorry I don’t have photos of her in the tub (Grammie those are on your pink camera!) but this slippery little sucker requires 2 sets of hands to wash and hold on to…. Continue Reading →
whoever invented snaps is brilliant – and whoever decided to make baby clothes that completely unsnap and then snap back up is even more brilliant. These fantastic jammie suits are just what the middle of the night pants changer ordered…. Continue Reading →
Michael has been visiting us and taking little miss elsie in, and just like us, he thinks she is cute as a button. Of course when Michael is around you will also always have shiny silver! 🙂
this is definitely a life skill when you have a munchkin.
