Louis and Scarlett

Louis and Scarlett were born 3 days apart and first met in the nursery at the hospital!

Then by chance Scarlett's Mummy Sooz and I ended up in the same Mother's Group and recognized each other.

Louis' birthday party ii

Just looked at the blog and half the pics I thought I'd uploaded from dinner @ Ba's didn't go up, so !

Un petit film pour Margot!

Attaché, avec amour! Bises xx

Louis & Blaise

Proving she's definitely no longer scared of Louis, Blaise swings in for an early morning cuddle.

Blaise had initial reservations about the rampaging 4-year-old but of course, now that Louis is 5, it's a whole new story!

Louis discovers Toko

We decided to bring Louis to our fave restaurant Toko. He was curious as he always hears us talking about it. So far he loves the edamame beans. Great, because I always wanted a child with an international palette, ever since I saw an 8 year old American child devouring a plate of unknown food at the Amma orphanage in India! !! :-)

Louis on the dancefloor!

Louis gets to check out the cockpit! This was a bonus as they promised him on the way up but at the last minute, the pilots were busy :-) Thank you cock pit Angels!

Happy birthday breaky!

At the Nose Bag, where I used to work. Lunch to follow.

Let the birthday celebrations begin!

Louis wakes up early to unwrap the first of his prezzies.

Here we are at the Ball & Chain which existed "in my day"!!

Heaven

That's my boy!

Louis makes merry!

Visit to New Norfolk

Including St Brigid's School and 1 Lower Road!

Chess @ MONA

Playing chess with the chaps while Hugo & Julie check out MONA, the modern art museum opened in Hobart last year to *international* acclaim. :-) (We will go in after they've had their go.)

Sandy Bay Maccas!

Louis enjoys the Maccas that as kids, we always wanted in Hobart, but never had!

Mawhera Ave

Louis and I have zoomed off together for breaky. We're waiting for the bus into Sandy Bay central at a rather familiar bus stop. This is one of those pics I wish I could email to Dad!!
