Photo a Day : 23 & 24 March 2012

On Fridays Alice and I try to pop round to visit my Mum and Dad (her Great Grandpa and Great Grandma :o) ).  We've been doing this since I've been looking after Alice during the week and she certainly knows who they are and is happy to play and potter around at their house. Yesterday, Alice spotted some Pringles Mum had on the side in the kitchen and kept pointing to them.  We let her have one, which she enjoyed, but then she'd keep going back to the kitchen to get another one.  Luckily we weren't staying long after this started so she only had a few. I've no doubt next time we go she'll remember where they were :o)

Then today, as I was unpacking my shopping, I thought I'd better take a photo to have as a backup.  Claire and Alice came round this afternoon for a braai/bbq and we had a good time both outside in the garden and playing inside. Did I remember to take any photos? No! So, thank goodness for this back up photo because that's what I'll be using for today :o)

I hope you're having a good weekend and have some of the lovely sunshine we've been having.

Norma's son

Norma's son, Kyle, has lived in the UK for the last 10 years, so while she's over she tries to see Kyle and his girlfriend, Emma, whenever she can. This year they had taken a few days off and we got to see quite a lot of them. 

 These first photos were taken in Kyle and Emma's garden when we went round for afternoon tea one day.

 Kyle is Norma's eldest son - her other two sons, Ciaran and Caelen, still live in South Africa at the moment.

 We also went round to Kyle and Emma's for Kyle's birthday on the 9th.  He had decided to have a braai/bbq and was relieved that the weather held out for him :)

 Opening presents

 Mum came with us but Dad stayed at home as he hadn't been feeling well that day.

 Craig, Claire and Alice

 Alice enjoyed the breadsticks that were put out

 Her t-shirt was quite appropriate as it said "Daddy's little sweetheart"

This was taken round at our house on a different day when we had Mum & Dad and Kyle & Emma round for a braai/bbq.

Still working through the photos so there should be more to come :)

We've been ....

Loving the warmer weather and getting our first barbecues in

 Enjoying the blossom on our tree, while it lasts.

 Watching Alice grow and start tasting more and more flavours.

 Not always so sure about them 

 Getting messy in the process (though she still looks quite clean here!)

Too cute!

 We're loving the school holidays and being able to sit outside and read

 We took Alice's crib outside so she could sleep in the shade :o)

 Mummy kisses xx

 Wondering why Grandma has a big black object/camera in front of her face so often

 Realising I am behind said object/camera

 Playing Peek a Boo

And making progress with sitting up.

All in all, things have been very relaxed around here, we're just enjoying Emily's time off school and being able to sit outside and enjoy the weather.  Needless to say, we're also loving watching Alice as she learns new things day by day. She's such a happy little girl who gives out lots of smiles but the time is certainly going fast - a few more weeks and she'll be six months!!

I hope you're also enjoying the weather and getting a chance to go out and enjoy it. 

Happy Easter
