It's official. After an eerily long summer. The mornings have the familiar autumn chill. The light has turned more golden. We have to wear socks and spiders are finding their way into the house.

... kann unsere kleine Leni auch schon wie 'ne Eins [mit Hochziehen und Festhalten].

Mitchell and Zachary, Marlas birthday present has finally made its way. Very sweet. Thank you.
Apropos: Misty and Grandad, we have so far not had any luck to get Marla into the adoring pink 'Angelina Ballerina' outfit. We will post a photo as soon as we do. She does get into the dressing up spirit sometimes, when her 'normal' girlfriends take initiative.
And you never know, it might prevent us from another one of those ballett disasters we had in the past. ['I haven't got the right clothes!!!']

She is so grown up. I haven't taken any pictures at the nursery yet. We have to settle in first. Well, getting there in time is the hardest bit. I've made it in 10 Minutes flat the other morning, jogging with Leni in the buggy and Marla on the board.
Marla seems to enjoy school. She is taking it all in and is trying to be a very good big girl [successfully so, if I might add [proudly]].
Her friend Rocket is also there, being his excentric and wonderful self
They'll go fulltime [9am-3am] from 8.October!
'Sniff' [wiping tear] and 'Yesss' [victorious fists in the air].

Leni is dressed up for the childrens fancy dress event. Marla refused to have her photo taken.
It was a hot and busy day with lot's of stuff.
have a look.
