River walk and other things

On Sunday we went for a walk by the river before the rain came, where we saw a squirrel and Bluet and Ilona played on the see-saw




Here is Ilona, pleased as punch with her new dress Emily bought her in Boston



And here is Ilona's hair all curly after removing the braids Veronika put in



Bluet on the way to her English phonics class on Saturday morning



And posing with the local Hoengg bear (at her request) on the way home



Waiting for Bluet to go to kindergarten (this is every day)



I am not convinced Ilona is being very careful

Ilona about town

1. At our house, watching the sound of music, which is now her favourite thing (after Iggle Piggle) to ask to watch. She also is very funny singing 'the sun has gone to bed' over and over


2. Wearing her crown (Bluet also wears many crowns, as you may have noticed in previous photos)


3. On Monday Alexandra was off ill, so Ilona came to work with me, and rode around on this trolley. She enjoyed herself. I got some work done



4. On Saturday mornings Bluet goes to phonics class, while Ilona gets to go have coffee in Starbucks
