Weekend Wacky

Yesterday Estelle talked to Grammie Alexander over the phone. This is her giving Grammie a kiss.

Then we went for a walk in the sun.

Estelle decided she wanted to climb all over the chairs at this outdoor cafe. So we stopped and had a coffee/coke.



Walking home through the Old Town, Estelle and Papa stopped on a stoop.

Today we went to get Elliot and give his mom a much-needed break. Elliot's dad is away on business in Angola for 6 weeks out on some offshore platform, very uncommunicable. I think I would die if Thomas went away for 6 weeks! Here is a video of just some of the fun we had. This video is called: "How to brush off your hands if you fall down while you are running"

A few photos from our time with Elliot. Who can run, jump, go like wildfire on a foot-scooter, dive, balance, race up stairs- in short, he is a physical marvel. Thomas and I were in awe of him. The kid can MOVE. Not to mention speak Dutch. Which meant a lot of me and Thomas looking at each other and saying "What do you think he is talking about?"




Fransiska comes to get him and Estelle post-bath decides to latch onto her.
