Catch up

Gosh the time has just flown by

Been enjoying my Yaya duties, prepping play days, cutting out fabric and paper shapes for sticking, walking round the garden, (bunny came too, just not teddy lol) collecting leaves, twigs to turn into hedgehogs, we even made a card for Mummy and Daddy using cosmetic disks for a snowman.

Theo loves baking, we´ve made muffins, biscuits, fairy cakes and include him in all aspects of prep (within reason) for meals so he feels included and interested to eat it. I stayed over with Rebecca and Theo for a few days as Daddy was lucky enough to go on a business/pleasure cruise across the med. Starting in Barcelona and ending up in Italy. Then they stayed here for a couple of days too.

Rebecca is enjoying her rather intense course in Spanish and Theo is now using some Spanish words, some he has picked up from nursery and some from us.

This year it was so enjoyable to dress the tree with them, rather than half hearted as last year and lovely to see Theo pick up on the room decorations too.

The granddaughters have been busy too, both winning a first in their groups in the cheer leading competition. 

Just getting over a really heavy cold, Theo was quite generous in sharing, its hanging on, as they do and now Chris has succumbed. 

Noticed a few flowers in the courtyard which were a little surprising, we have had such a mixed bag of weather, heavy rain, really cold, high winds, warm again, so it was quite uplifting to see the Gerberas had flowered again, the begonia, although a little over, was still flowering and then found this little type of flower growing in the pot.





Even the geranium is having another burst

I finished another jumper for Theo, although forgot to take a photo, with another one on the needles, still haven´t sew up the jacket, but its ready to do so.

Tomorrow is Chris´s birthday and we are all having dinner together and they are staying the night, should be fun.
take care

  1. My very English grandson calls me yaya, no idea why, daughter did not know its Spanish for grandmother. Enjoy your family time.

    1. Theo calls us YaYa and Yayo, but knows Grandma and Grandad too, grandaughters just call us Grandma and granddad, not so confusing for the other grandad. Wonder why your grandson chose the name xcx
