Shots of the Red Panda...and more!!

Nature Centre with Harninder

Even though she is 38 weeks pregnant, Harninder brought her three kiddos into Birmingham to meet us at the Nature Centre for a couple hours of play. We were there early enough to see almost all of the animals including the Red Panda and the otters being fed. We had a great time catching up, and all of the kids really enjoyed running around and playing together. Harninder's kids are (from oldest to youngest) Mehtaab, Muskeen and Prehlaad.

Max's first day of school

We can hardly believe it, but Max has started school! Okay, he is still technically in 'nursery', in the Pre-Prep house at Blue Coat. This year a uniform is optional, so we've opted to wait. But he does have special shoes he has to wear, in addition to a school track suit and black shoes for gym, and an overall for lunchtime.
Max loved his first day and was so excited he had a difficult time sleeping that night as he was so excited to go back the next day! Bless, who could ask for anything better than that??

More Spain...

Talia's Birthday

Our little girl celebrated her first birthday in Spain, and thoroughly enjoyed her cake (unlike her brother on his first birthday)! Topi and Antonia joined us for lunch, and lead a round of Happy Birthday in Spanish!

Spain

Our trip to Spain was fantastic, and started off with an added bonus the first week: we had our lovely babysitter and close family friend with us, Jodie. We did several things we hadn't done on previous trips including a ride on the Canoa across to Huelva and B.D. and I getting out on our bikes! The carnival was on again so Max was thrilled with the rides, and Jodie got to experience a real Paella.
