Winnie the Pooh's 'think, think, think'...

...becomes 'fink, fink, fink' (it used to be pink, pink, pink!)

Artist in the making!

the caring Leah, the angry Leah

Everything is good at the moment- work is great, the people there are really nice and patient and it's good to finally get out. Eimear is bulding a 'grannyflat' at the bottom of the house so there's lots and lots of noise everyday, it's gonna be great when it's finished!

Leah is so much fun! She is so funny and 'lillgammal' some days, you forget that she's only 2. Bought her a puzzle book (9 pieces each) and she did it all on her own- the pride was welling up inside me when it happened! She also has many tantrums but if you nip it in the bud right away they're usually easilly handled. Most of the time though she's very loving and loves do dance and sing!

just another morning

Leah loves to perform and we love to watch!

Grandpa Elof

Today my grandpa passed away. He'd been sick for a long time but seemed to get better but this morning he had another heart attack and his fragile body couldn't handle it anymore. Just wanted to share a few of my fondest memories of him.
I always had a great time in the country house and when we used to watch TV at night grandma and grandpa always fell asleep sitting up snoring loudly, but when asked are you sleepy you'd always get the same answer 'oh no I'm not tired'. and when I fell asleep I can remember the feeling of grandpa carrying me up the stairs and into bed.
I remember when I tried to dig up the potatoes and hopped on the spade in order to get it into the ground and puling them out. He always said I was so strong and marveled at how much I could eat, but nobody could eat before the 'master' had come to the table- haha!!
I also had a hard time understanding my tall grandpa, he could sit on the sofa combing his soft, semi-long brown hair talking very enthusiastically and I would just nod and laugh when he did (he had a loud hearty laugh) but really I hadn't a clue as to what he had said!

This is the grandpa I remember and will miss! Love you.

Dublin Zoo

Went to Dublin Zoo today and it was so much fun- Leah was giggling fanatically at the entrance and wanted to see the monkey all the time- then she only wanted to see the big monkeys, was her mantra for a while 'big monkeys, big monkeys, big monkeys!!'

by request from sis

I don't know, according to daddy she is a prodigy, the best dancer and singer, I let you make your own decision- I think she is pretty darn good!
