Singing and Dancing

Dear Great Gran,
Ruthie has recently taken to busking in the lounge room, she is happy to take requests but insists that we place buttons in her hat at the end of each and every song. Here Ruth and Auntie Cherie are singing a duet complete with hand actions, although Cousin Sam doesn't look too impressed.
Nor does Sam look too impressed with the her solo efforts - in fact the polar bear seems more interested - and, in case you're wondering, the song is the Dingle Dangle Scarecrow with some improvised Farmer in the Dell musical book accompaniment.

Here's another duet, this time pounding the ivories with Pete.
Finally, here's a performance of Buttons and her dancing troupe in the park.

much love,
Brendan

Shush, Gee Gee and Sam

Dear Great Gran,
Goodness spring is suddenly here - and I we have so much to show you from winter!
We have really enjoyed baby Flynn's visits. Here is 1 drink and 3 happy people:
And one happy uncle holding a content leopard
And here, GG, you can see Buttons riding the Collins gee gee ("Yee-hah, Grandma!" says Ruth). Thanks to Joan and Alan for the lend! We enjoyed Peter's visit last week - all his old toys were here waiting for him (rocking horse, plastic animals, duplo, piano) and some new ones, too (he came to the toy library with us).
I spy with my little eye...
When Buttons takes her four legged cousin Sam for a walk - it really turns heads!
I think the squeals of glee, the jingling bell and coordinated outfits have something to do with it.

much love from Brendan
