Song for Nanny & Poppy

Tilly styled herself for this clip, even grabbed the clothes out of the drawer all by herself. That wasn't her best rendition of the abc's but close enough! She really does love her Nan & Pop.

Watching video of Tilly & Lili dancing..

The Hammonds have become like family to us, which is precious when you live so far from your own beloved family. Their departure in July will be very sad for us, but we know we will see you guys in the future.

Tilly the artist..

When we were last in Australia we went to the beach with Nanny & Poppy and Aunty Gwen, Uncle Ben and Grandma came to visit us. Aunty Gwen is quite the artist and using this Sketcher she drew the most beautiful picture of flowers with stems, using the hearts. I've since tried to recreate the picture without as much flair. Tilly thinks it's the best fun to draw on the stems of the flowers I create. Two days ago she came running to me and said "Draw the flowers Mama!" and very proudly showed me her creation. I was so proud of her!!

We're moving!

The new apartment.... We will be on the third floor and the trees reach right to the front rooms, including Tilly's new bedroom. It's bright and sunny and lovely. You walk off the street and into a courtyard, grassy area. It's a very quiet street also. Only setback is that now instead of 7-11 being a 30 second walk I might have to walk about 6 minutes!
