A picture of a picture. This is Sophie's cute passport photo. The guy taking the picture was very patient and must have taken about 50 photos to get the perfect shot. I love the little bubbles she's blowing!

Sophie with Miffy--

* 5 weeks
* Sophie has a case of baby acne
* She slept for 7 hours one night and 8 hours the next (when I was so sick with Mastitis) and then went back to sleeping 5 - 6 hours. What a star
* Sophie loves her post bathtime massages
* Awake time after feeds is one of the big girls' favourite times of the day. She smiles from ear to ear without much convincing and tries to 'talk' to us
* Sophie enjoys the freedom of kicking without a nappy on during happy time

This stunning clematis creeper growing outside my kitchen window, bursts into flower every May.

Queens Day Celebration. Anyone in Holland is permitted to sell anything, anywhere, for the day. Holland becomes a mass fleamarket with bargains galore.

My sweet girls decided to earn some money by helping to bake and sell cookies. We made chocolate chip cookies and crunchies and managed to sell the lot. They earned about Eur 13 each and were so pleased with themselves. Their cookie stall is the little one on the right. We shared a spot with our friends the Gambro's.

Don't you just love the fashion sense? Savannah, with the collar straight up (it's in fashion), and Madison with the scarf (it's in fashion too...well, sort of).
