17th April, 2008

Hi Everyone,

I'm finally catching up with the photos. Just need to do a few more pages to feel a bit 'caught up'. It is finally starting to feel more like Spring - we got the slide, etc out of the garage so we can use the back garden. Yes, Angus (Boris) does tend to eat the sand from the sand / water table. I think he'll grow out of it eventually.

Ailsa had her first ballet lesson the other day. I was wondering if it would be a chore to get her into the outfit (as she tends to protest when we put her in a dress)...but she enjoyed it. I made sure I got there early so she could see the earlier class all dressed up. She loved it so much in fact, that she tried to infiltrate the next class. Hey gymnastics lessons start up again next week. She's got so much energy, I just need to find ways to keep her busy. She's also loving a new show on Cbeebies called Louie - a cute cartoon that shows how to draw a specific thing in each episode (her new obsession).

Angus (Boris) is good....he's into everything and give a cheeky smile when you look at him and say 'no'. He loves the 'goodnight kisses' he gets from Ailsa and doesn't appear to be a fussy eater. We need to weigh them again, I think he weighs more than Ailsa right now - he's quite, um, solid.

Hopefully we'll have a chance this summer to fly to Boston and then drive to Texas (via DC, Tennessee, etc). More news on that as plans come together in the next few months.

Love,
Karen
