Bust that dust

Sophie has a strong desire for handheld vacuum. Good thing we kept ours (circa 2005) 

 

Trying to keep a tradition alive/aflame

 

We planned to have our traditional first fire of this warm autumn once Sophie was home from uni but something is broken... So we switched to candles, supper in a dish, and "crisps" from Mum's recent trip to the land of strange flavours. This year's temptation - a cheese toastie and Heinz Baked beans! 

They really were that taste!

Genes

Our kids have hyper-extendable toes - both of them.😕 

Auntie R is in the house! (and so is Sophie who is back from uni for reading week)

 

Who doesn't love a good book sale

especially when combined with Polish Fest and a visiting Auntie Jeet?!?!

 

Grab them when you can

Summer treats

All the treats one gets because it's your last weeks at home...

Special ice creams

New sheets for your dorm room

Fancy doughnuts

Last trip to the farmers' market

and of course, we had to have a sticky bun

and cool local drinks

And a final meal at Banjara's

You've got this, Sophie

Settling into her dorm room and new life as a university student in Montreal! We love you, Sophie!!

Look at that smile

This kid of ours will do almost anything for good cheese!

So much love - and colour

Dear Arthur provided a chopsticks lesson

and made delicious food

Our kids love colour
