mini Picasso

We were recently informed by the mother of Marisa's best school mate that her painting of Lord Nelson from school was hanging up at our local museum, Discover Greenwich. We had no idea! So of course, yesterday we ventured out in this cold weather to check it out!

Way to go, Marisa!

2 month check

When Darren was a few weeks old it seemed like I had him for much longer. And now that he is 2 months old I feel like I just had him!

Weight: 11 pounds 4.99 (kg)

Height: 22 inches 57.5(cm)

Darren, of course, has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is a very smiley baby. Especially in the morning. He will even stop in the middle of nursing just to smile at me. And at the very sight of his sisters there is an instant smile as well. You can tell he just simply adores them. I have been told numerous times that my girls are going to be heart breakers and upon someone at church watching him smile at me from a distance this person said, "Oh dear, he is going to be heart breaker." Seriously, his smiles make me melt. I'm smitten!
But when Darren does get upset...he. is. upset! He goes from 0-60 real fast! And he has the cutest saddest face ever. He has this melt your heart pouty bottom lip that comes out that is just killer to my heart!

Darren has acquired numerous nicknames in this household, such as, Handsome Man, Handsome Boy, Buddy, Mr. Smiles, Milkman, D-man, and Darren Boy. The girls came up with "Darren Boy". They usually say it with their high pitched little motherly voices, "Daaarren boyyy!..." It is precious.

As you can imagine, we all love him and are simply smitten. My lips seem to never leave this boy's face. I smoother this little boy of mine with kisses all. day. long. I just love my little boyfriend!

it's official

It's booked. 

Let the one month countdown begin...

on the Thames...

We have lived here for almost 2 years and I have yet to ride the Thames clipper! Marisa was the first in the family to go on it as she went on a school trip. Then Tim took the girls on it when Grandma came to help with Darren after he was born. Now my turn!
