halfway wednesday!

So here we are halfway through the week! Maeve seems to be getting on really well at school. She comes home with pages and pages of art! She is also very fond of gluing, here they call it sticking though!! So, lets see. Every day Madigan and I head to Jephson Gardens to feed the pigeons, swans and Canadian Geese. Yes, she has been bitten before but she is so brave and wonderful! After the feeding frenzy we head up the parade. Sometimes we window shop, today I let her loose in the priors (mall) She went in every shop, listened to see what music they were playing.. if she liked it she stayed and danced. if she didn't like it she headed out. It was priceless!
So our friend Fil spent xmas in Mexico. Now let me explain about Fil. Fil is a single dude, lives by himself, isn't a spring chicken but is far from old. Fil and Michael like to have game nights. he is not fond of RISK but is fond of The history of the world. Anyhoo, I digress. Fil was away from dec 16 until jan 1. while he was away in mexico, he picked up a present for the girls. They are featured in today's photos but not the video! Fil also got the girls a poncho which may just be great for us baby backpackers! Give them a little rain coverage while they get carried into the wild er ness! It was so nice that Fil thought of the girls, let alone brough them back a very special gift. So, thank you Fil you are very kind and we are lucky to have you!
