There's no place like home

Lys and Alex are off to Australia (I hope). I saw them through security at Chicago (Alex oblivous to the queue formed to pass through screening, Mum passing through a minute later). I'm missing them both already.

Hopefully Alex is fast asleep as they wing their way through the air. (can't resist, must include photo)

Happy Birthday!

For those that missed it Alex turned 2 on March 2nd. We celebrated with a cookie monster party and an icream cake. Cookies and icecream - the two major food groups!

Thanks to everyone who came to the party and for the lovely presents.

Alex had a great time playing with all her friends and eating cookies!

Growing up fast

I can't believe that this Friday is Alex's second birthday! It's really hard to see that two years have passed already. Anyway, in honour of her impending birthday, here is a photo of her - going on 30! Note the combination of high heels with tracksuit - plus ubiquitous bag.
