The River

We've had so many good times up by the river at Hammersmith Bridge.  These were taken about a month ago, but were too fun to leave out!  So much to catch up on and so little time... it's literally running out!  Can't believe we have only a few days left in our flat. It really doesn't seem possible.  Oh, how I'm going to miss it all.  xo

Easter Morning

Belated photos of Easter morning - Henry's first!  The kids really enjoyed exploring their baskets and  all the treats the Easter Bunny left for them.  Bowen's favorites were her sticker book, her gold bangles and the little bunny in a cot - not to mention the few bits of chocolate!  Henry was too cute as he excitedly pulled things out of his and quickly found his rice cakes!  They both loved watching the little bunny vibrate all over the coffee table after you pull the tail out... FUN.  We went to brunch at Raoul's where B had her typical blueberry pancakes - yumm!  xo

 

 

The Easter Bunny Came!

Easter Egg Hunt

Oh my. This was such a fun morning! Bowen has been so excited about an Easter egg hunt ever since I started telling her about them a few weeks ago. I knew she would love to do one with Esme, so I asked Jill to bring the girls on Tuesday morning and we did one in our garden. Well, as suspected it was a huge hit and they loved it. I stuffed approx 50 eggs (small ones) with cherrios, rice cakes, grapes, marshmellows, a few with Smarties (like M&M's), little fuzzy chicks, coins and stickers. They were adorable running around the garden and sweetly, would even point out eggs for each other to get. After they had all been found, we sat down to inspect the loot! Paloma and Henry joined them on the blanket, excited to find spare rice cakes etc to munch on :) It was a rare opportunity to be able to snap some photos of the four of them together and I think they turned out so great! Such a nice time and the perfect way to get into the Easter spirit! We will do another this weekend with Dadda and hopefully the Easter Bunny will remember us as he hops through town! More on that to come... xo

girlfriends

Friday afternoons have become a highlight of our week as Jill & I generally alternate hosting for a play and dinner. It's such a nice way to spend the final hours of the week and the company (for us and the girls) is always wonderful. On this particular Friday, Lizzie (who recently welcomed new baby Arlo!) and Lily joined us and it made for such a nice afternoon. These girls just love each other and are SO sweet together! They played in the garden for a bit first and then had dinner inside together. I couldn't help myself and started snapping photos - they were just being so cute. I've become obsessed lately with wanting to document all I can of our life here, so that Bowen & Henry can look back and have a glimpse of what it was like.

How sweet are these 3?!! xo
