Pic for Oskar

Oskar, Cooper's Captain Feathersword costume arrived today so we will be all ready for the Circus concert that you went to with Mummy & Poppa when The Wiggles come here to America in August. He was a bit nervous to put it on, especially the eye-patch, but his friend Isabella was here visiting so she tried it on first and then he wanted a photo for you to see him.

The Train Engineer

I've previously put some photos of Mr Chef-Man/Restaurateur, The Fireman, Bob the Builder etc, and here is the Train Engineer that frequently arrives in our bedroom early in the morning (since we got back from London, the last 2 days he has been fully dressed like this ready for the day before 6am!) BTW: Check out the red caboose at the back of the train!

Summertime comes to Bay City!

Last week before we dashed off to London for a week to meet our new niece/cousin Baby Helena, we had a week or more of amazingly warm weather (in the 80's F, late 20's C). The waterfront area by the river here has been revamped and here we are spending an evening walking around down there. It will be filled with 50,000 or more people next month when the Tall Ships come for a few days.

My favourite new piece of furniture!

Sequel to January's Living Room update

We finally had the pictures put up that have been languishing on the floor for 6 months due to their immense weight, and also the light in the front entrance hall (it required moving the existing light and several holes drilled in the ceiling!). Quote from Scott the Builder "and exactly why was it that you didn't tell me about this when we removed the bathroom floor up above here last year?" Answer: well, Jamie hadn't picked out the cool light yet!
