Digger

Doug had his tonsils out this week. While recovering, he distracted himself by making a Lego digger... remote controlled of course. Here he is trying to get Emma's attention.

Summer Holidays

We sailed to the Island in August for a couple of days. Emma had a great time on the rides, at the beach, cycling around (well we cycled, she came along for the ride) and eating ice cream. A good time was had by all.

Happy 4th!

On the weekend we were visiting family and celebrated Emma's upcoming birthday. Here she is decked out in her new dress and getting acquainted with her makeover kit -- both from her aunties.

Sunday morning walk

I got to go for a walk with a fairy princess this morning. It was a lovely time. She was on a mission to pick dandelions, which are now sitting on the counter in a glass of water.

Bucking the Trend

Emma is bucking the big city trend of wearing black. I must say, if you're going to go to all the effort of bucking a trend, you may as well go all out.



(I don't know if you can see them properly, but yes, they are sparkly silver runners.)

Snoozin'

Emma has recently stopped napping in the afternoon. This makes the day a bit too long for a busy 3-1/2 year old. But a wee snooze while waiting for dinner seems to do the trick.

Princess Fix-it

Emma loves to fix her step stool. This time she was sure to use her princess 'work' gloves.
