It’s been over 2 months since this blog was updated. And so many things have happened since then. Firstly, Granny Anne passed away in March. Some of you will remember her from the Xmas post on this blog. Very sad news and the girls and I will always miss her. I know David will because he spent a great deal of his childhood with her. And she’s the greatest granny ever, she was neither judgemental nor over opinionated and she was always happy and put others first.

What’s been happening around here lately? Well, work, work and more work… but wait there is something else baking in the oven. We are into the second trimester of Baby No. 3 Yes, very hard to believe. I’ve always said 2 is enough and there will be no more, thank you. But I guess I spoke too soon… I can’t believe I will be having another little bundle of joy, the tiny fingers and toes to caress and the coos and chuckles.

To remind myself of reality, I dug up a newborn photo of Petra Ava (who’s now a little over 2 years) held by David’s mom.

 

OK folks here are the proofs to reality. Tiny baby, it’s for real and it’s coming, uh, buh bye sleep …

On the domestic front, the girls had their last day of the Spring session at the end of May. So school is out for the whole of Summer. They had Splash Party on their last day, so here’re a few photos:

that’s Petra Ava blowing soapy bubbles

And a snapshot of Nadya with her friends

On the same note, what is it about toddlers that as they age, they just make difficult photo ops. Both girls trying to outsmart their mother, “Nope uh uh no picture for ya,”

These sequences were really as best as I can snap of them. They were just not coordinated and I gave up after 3 shots.

On the spinning and fiber front, more later on that …
