A first sleepover

Image
C had his first slumber party before we left the UK. His friend Harry came over with Mum Katie, Dad Duncan and brother Ben. Here are C and Harry having a kiddy cocktail at the appropriate hour.

A submarine and a tractor!

Posting was a bit light due to our travels to the US. Now that we're all settled in here, I'll get back to a regular schedule. We took C and D to the Museum of Science and Industry - a childhood favorite here in Chicago. This is C and Grand-dad in front of the U-505, a full submarine from WWII. We had an excellent tour, in a huge hall ( the picture doesn't do the room or the people justice). (Nate- it was pretty cool- much better than 20 years ago) And here is C standing inside a farm tractor tire- another big hit for him.

Height and weight

D has had a bit of a growth spurt lately, so Bells took some measurements: 7.5 kgs (16.5 lbs) 72 cm (28 in.)

Here's the kids before they got into the chocolate... And here's C and his pal Alexander looking for more at church...

Just like her Big Brother

Although less amused that C ( see here ), D does generally eat well. And deposits much of it around her.

That crazy blond hair and an Mmpphhzz from D
