Hi all - we have been remotely absent lately, and as I don't even know anymore what has happened since the last blog entry, I'll be filling this one up with pictures and comments to go with them. Enjoy!
Hmmmm - birthday cake for baba's 40th! Isn't that candle dangerous?

Mama's picking me up from nursery at snack time! Doesn't matter, I am always happy to see her!

Cool hat!

Baba went on a weekend with the boys to Amsterdam - apparently they drunk lots of coffee as they went to lots and lots of 'coffee houses'. They also did some cultural things, for example: they went to the Bols museum! The objective was to have fun and they seem to have had lots of that, so a succesful weekend for the boys. But mama and I also had a fun-filled weekend.
This is waking up on Saturday morning: my milk and my 'paper'

Then DISCOVERY, baba left mama a lovely Valentine's card!

What's on for breakfast? Hmmm home made pancakes! I think the batter needs a little bit more milk mama.

Now we give it a good stir and then we let it rest for a little while

And now we enjoy the result!

Nice day for a lovely walk to Beki & James

Esme - James - Eva

Beatrice Scarlet (Esme's little sister) isn't she adorable??? I call her 'baby' and I stroked her cheek and her head all the time. I wanted to show mummy too where her eyes were, but for some reason mama didn't want me to do that ???

WOW a whole farm to play with... mama can I have one of those???

Beki - the hostess with the mostess - prepared a LOVELY lunch for adults and kids alike.

As James had only just turned 2, we were in for some luck and got a slice of scrumptious chocolate cake, njam njam.

Esme showing me how it's done!

Yippie! A playgarden. First I went on the swings...

Then on the slide... I was very upset when mama didn't allow me to go on it for the 100'th time and had a full on tantrum... didn't make mama change her mind though!

After al that play I had a good night's sleep, which was great as there was a lot to deal with the next day. This is breakfast while watching the morning news 'Tik Tak'.

More breakfast - I just love this bread with Beppe's home made jam on it!

Before we leave the house a quick snack!

And here we have a glitch in the pictures... we went to Tamsin's christening reception and mama did not take one picture, just talk talk talk with Kathleen's family and friends... pffff. But I had a good time playing with Tamsin's stuff, pointing out the animals in her room and climbing up and down the staircase. Mama however then forgot to take her camera from John's & Kathleen's when we left to see Elena. So unfortunately no pictures of my new little friend either. Elena is already 8 months old, crawling around rapidly and is a really happy girl. But she did cry loudly when she had to go for a nap ... I can understand that, it's more fun to be around the grown-ups. I also met Storm. Luckily Vierka & Darren have trained her well, so she didn't run over me... she's a big dog you know. I wasn't scared of her at all, but all that sniffing in my face wasn't too pleasant either.
Last weekend mama and baba had a lot going on. On Friday there was a fancy dress leaving party of Olivier, who will be going to Singapore for 6 months. The theme was Asian and mama was dressed as a manga girl and daddy was a Hare Krishna worshipper. Funny! Those pictures are still to follow.
Then we had a dinner on Saturday with Rob, Rav, James, Angela, oma Lena, tata Zina and mama and baba, which was very cool. But they laughed so loudly that they woke me up... TWICE!
On Sunday we had friends over for lunch: Olivier and Alina, Miguel and Anna, Jean-Marc, oma Lena, tata Zina and mama and baba. Here some pictures of that day:
Olivier reading me my 10 little frogs book

Little Eva Tantrum

End of the day... mama and eva both TIRED.

Just before bed... this is how I watch TV
