The BIG day!


Finally the day that we had all been waiting for arrived. The wedding! The groom had polished his boots up to a mighty shine and we were all raring to go. It was a truly fantastic day. A picture is worth a thousand words and the smiles below say it all really.


We were lucky to have a special guest in the ceremony - Prema interrupted her camping holiday and snuck in at the back of the church. Well who could resist a wedding AND a cuddle with Millie?

Rehearsal and bathtime


Last Friday was a big day - it was the wedding rehearsal and Millie had a bath! The picture above shows everyone going through their lines. Practice makes perfect. The vicar had to tell a very enthusiastic Jamie to stop repeating everything or they'd end up being married early. As Lucy pointed out it would have saved us some time, the old romantic.

Below is a post-bath, clean Millie...

Millie meets Mia

A momentous occasion - Millie meets my god daughter, Mia. There is 7 months between them, but they will be in the same school year. Hard to imagine at the moment. Mia's grown so much since March and is looking like a proper little girl these days. Hopefully it won't be too long until they meet again.

40 winks under the desk

Granny and Grandad's house has three levels. At night Millie slept in our room with us, but for day naps we popped her under the desk on the middle floor so we could keep an eye on her. She was very cosy under there and slept like a... er... baby.


Here's Millie and Daddy looking bright-eyed in the morning. Daddy didn't sleep under the desk or any other furniture as far as we know.

Back from the UK



Our little family just got back from our transatlantic trip. Lots to tell you about so expect installments over the next few days. Matt has put a couple of pics from the journey up on Millie's photo page. Here's some pics of Millie hanging out with her Auntie Lucy and Uncle Jamie and her new Auntie Kat.

The camera loves her!

In her debut performance Millie shows great on screen presence and good head control.





We're just back from the doctor. She had her 8 week check up. Apparently she is "long and lean". Not entirely sure where she gets that from. 50th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. Pre-school basketball here we come!

Sunday night fun

Millie has been enjoying her gymini tonight. It has music, sounds, lights and dangling jungle animals. Everything a girl could need for a good time really.
She's recently started losing her hair - we're assured that it will grow back, but in the meantime bald Millie is just as cute.
