This little piggy went to market

Dear Greatgran,

Ruth went with me to the local farmers market early this morning.

We then all went to the local pool before it got too hot.
You can see she's mastered at least one of the pool going activities.


Cousin Maurice was also at the pool, but he didn't go swimming either. This photo was taken in the shade at the pool and that is why Ruth is choosing not to wear a hat. We did have a sun hat for her if she needed it. Honestly. The photo just makes us look like we're bad parents.


Here Ruth is participating in Greek singing lessons with Maria (who is staying with us a couple of days).

Terry Towelling Origami

Dear Great Gran,
a harsher critic than yourself might think that this website has become a bit stuck on the one theme.

However, let me assure you that this blog letter is not about the baby or how much she sleeps or that she now weighs over nine and a quarter pounds and is a full inch longer than when she started! This letter is instead dedicated entirely to the little know art of Terry Towelling Origami (TTO).

Here Ruth models Julie's TTO version of a deep sea calamari.
love from
Brendan.

Catching Flys & Zeds

Dear Great Gran,
here is some more of Ruth's recent escapades.

Relaxed at bath time with Cluttergran (working title only). Please note that Ruth's eyes are open in this photo.


With Uncle Rohan, Auntie Nathalie and cousins Joseph and Maurice:


Outside with Gran down at the beach house:


And doing a bit more of what she does best: catching zeds and flys at the same time!
