Trip to Clapham Common

We took the 37 bus from our place to Clapham Common to catch up with Kare.

It was a very hot day, so hot in fact that I NEEDED an ice cream. It was a bit mean because mum didn't get one for Zara, so we had to share.

I found these awesome shoes (thanks Kare) and believe it or not I am actually very stable in heels.

Another succesful outing in Ole Blighty.....

Lunch in the sun

Zara and I had our first lunch outside in London, the weather here has been awesome

Jolly Jumper - Spot the difference

one of these jolly babies is me the other is zara, I am 4 months old in these photo's and zara is 7 months old...... it all balances out :-)

We are both good jumpers anyway.

Goodbye Grandad

Zara and I are trying to get in to Grandads suitcase so he will take us with him, we didn't fit :-(
It was a very sad day, we had such a fantastic time with Grandad in London, and we wish him a safe journey home.
You can come back when ever you want, there is always room for you at our house
Goodbye Grandad, say hello to Nana!!!

Zara's Easter Egg

Zara getting in to her First Easter Egg, mean old mum wouldn't take the wrapper off for her but she did her best to get in to it ... remembering that she has NO teeth :-)

Easter at Cornwall

Grandad and I at Lands End. The weather in Cornwall was AMAZING, we honestly didn't know it existed, check out the beach photo's below, I even made sand castles and Zara paddled her toes in the water.

Sunday stroll through Wimbledon Common

We went to find the wombles, but it is such a big place we didn't find any. Here I am with Dad and Aunty Erin, it is a big slice of wilderness right in the middle of London.

Playing with Zara at home

Zara is pulling herself up now so I have to be extra careful with my toys ;-)

We're here...... London

This is me and Zara with our new matching jackets that Grandad bought. He is in spain at the moment with Maddy and we are missing him lots. London has been awesome, a full on month or setting up home, sightseeing, catching up with aunties uncles and friends. Here are some cool pics, me reading the paper waiting for a train, me and grandad at covent garden and me smelling the spring flowers in the park (before the cold snap). We are up and running again now so watch this space, mum will be updating the blog regularly. We miss everyone in New Zealand, wish we weren't so far away. Lots of love, Katey and Zara.
