Abigail timidly takes her first steps ...

Hey I know I'm gorgeous but what do you expect : I am a princess aren't ?!!!

Some of Abigail's favorite people ...

This is Suzi, Mama's best mate ... for some reason I've taken a particular shine to this lady, she's the only person in the whole world I give the most humongous hugs to as soon as I see her. She has good karma man! Mama is terribly fond of her too, and some times they get up to mischief and go hit the town and paint it red!

This is Big Bill with Mama's godson Keelan who belongs to Suzi ... Keelan is just like Mama : loud, boystrous, determined - oh and ever so clever ... probably the only difference with my Mama eh? Mama loves Keelan lots and lots and lots and lots, and has lots of mischievous plots she is secretly submitting for his consideration. Suzi, you didn't really think Keelan thought up the ink-bombs ploy himself did you???!!!

I know I look like I'm dozy, but what would you feel like if you were having your legs massaged by a physiotherapist who looked like that?

I'm all on my own this week with big brother Nathan cos Big Bill has gone off on a school outing for a WHOLE WEEK! Mama is trying to be terribly brave about this, but I know that, whilst she is really enjoying the peace and quiet without the Bernard warmonger, she is nevertheless missing my big brother lots and lots and lots!!!! Don't tell her I'm on to her though ...

And here I am with William's Godfather Bertrand, who's trying to talk to me in Welsh here .. or is it Breton?

A bientot folks for my next riveting epistle!!!

I'll give you one guess as to what my Uncle Huwie's favorite activity is .... take a look at his right hand in every photograph ...

Oh the life of Riley

This weekend I took to a new hobby : pushchair consumption. Oh Yum

William eats a pain au chocolat

Oh my hero ...

Na na na na na - I don't have to go back to school! But my brothers do!!!

The boys really didn't feel like getting up this morning - so I decided to help them. I knew that William was keen to see his friends again but not overly enthusiastic about the renewed academic side of things,

but that Nathan, even though he's not a morning person (proof below!!) couldn't wait to get into his new class for his first day in primary school. He was SOOO excited once his morning neurones were back in motion again!

Equipped with spinky brand new satchels, school accesories and clothes, here they are all ready to GO GO GO!!!!

Nathan was really really chuffed to see his best friend Daryl again .. but alas, this year, they discovered, they were no longer in the same class. Nathan got 'promoted' to the mixed 1st and 2nd grade of primary, cos he has already taught himself to read and write (he got sick of waiting for Mama to teach him) and he tells me it was wonderful! He loves his teacher, and to top it all, she has red hair, just like Mama! Is that a good omen?

Big Bill was very chuffed to see Simon again - the picture illustrates how reciprocal the feeling was eh? William goes into 4th year primary (what the French call 'CM1') and this year he has a very tough teacher who is famous for not taking any nonsense - methinks William is going to have to pull his socks up this year!!!

This was me last year when they went back to school : haven't I grown??!!! What a playmobil I was!!! And get a shot at those sibling fangs!!!
