Christening

Here are some pictures from the Christening on Sunday. We had a really lovely day, apart from the weather which wasn't exactly on our side... But the actual Christening went like a charm, Milly was a star and didn't cry at all. She even smiled at the priest. After the service we all went for a nice lunch at one of our local restaurants, Smia, and then back to ours for coffee/tea and cakes after. It was a really nice celebration of our little Milly, and we enjoyed it very much! :-)

More updates

Back home again, and it's turned in to autumn. And we've just finished our summer holiday...

But it's really lovely at the moment, the weather has been nice and the trees have got the fantastic autumn colours. We actually took Milly for her first trip in Marka on Sunday, which she seemed to enjoy in her Mei Tai. Milly is now nearly 4 months old, and is changing constantly, although still gorgeous :-) She can turn from her back onto her tummy, the only problem is that she keeps getting her arms stuck underneath her, and gets quite frustrated. She's laughing and smiling a lot, and is in general a good little girl. We do have a slight problem with her sleeping, well, more the lack of sleeping really... She doesn't seem to be to keen on it, she might miss something... But luckily she is good at sleeping at night, which is the most important bit!

We are having Milly's Christening on Sunday. Grannie Annie and Auntie Helen are coming over, and so is Colin. It'll be a small gathering with family, God parents and friends. Should be really nice :-) We will post some pictures afterwards of Milly in her lovely dress that Bestemor (Grandma Dagrun) has made for her!

Holidays..... who'd have 'em!!

The blog has been inactive for a bit, due to holidays and the recovery from the holiday. As most may already know, our trip to France wasn't exactly a raging success..... we'd have had more fun camping in Afghanistan frankly!! The only positive thing in the first week was that Milly stayed fit and healthy, and didn't seem that bothered by the traveling (well, apart from scaring a bloke out of his seat on the flight to France).

Fortunately the second week in England was super. We managed to drop in on Kate and Del for a day. Spent some time in Haynes, so Grampy, David and Aunty Gert got to see Milly for the first time. Maureen and David dropped in the day we picked Tilly up from school.

We had a day out in London where we met Colin for lunch..... and at the end of the week we had a lovely weekend with the whole family in Norfolk. Belinda dropped in too..... so Milly got to see a lot of new faces on her first trip to England. We think that Arthur gets the prize as Milly's favourite..... hopefully we can borrow him next summer as a full time baby sitter!!

All in all Milly was a good traveler, which considering her genes shouldn't come as a big shock..!! Lovely to see everyone.
