Birthday party

Fantastic Fun Birthday party today. Six is a great age. Just so glad we didn't have it in the house. These guys have a lot of energy and know how to be loud. Now if only we could harness this sound energy and convert it to say do a load of laundry! All mothers everywhere would be happy.

Belgrave Square Sports Day

It was a beautiful day on Saturday and perfect for running some races. We had two winners Lex got the first race for 4 and under then Maxim won the "slow bicycle race" which is much harder than it sounds. You must be last but keep your feet on the pedals barely inching along the field.
Unfortunately I didn't get more photos as it was hard to wield camera and watch all five while loosing the mothers marathon. Maxim has vowed to run in every race next year he had such a great time.

September

Just back from a fabulous weekend in Rome with friends. Sun oh so lovely and good food. Late breakfast and afternoon naps made the visit paradise for me. Thanks so much Terry and John. Lots happening here. School - yes we have two boys in school now. Only 3 at home. I am having such a good time the mornings are so easy and quiet. Lots of work travel for Jon and then a marathon to run. Maxim's birthday is on the 15th and we will be celebrating with lots of chocolate cake. Baby number six will love this I have no more nausea and am now eating for two!
Susan we love you and are thinking of you everyday at this time. I can not imagine how tough it must be to loose your home to fire.
