Another snow

Snow came in for the second time this year... And what a snow!!! About 20 cm fall overnight. Our street is transformed, dressed with the most beautiful coat of fluffy stuff.

Of course the children love it! Enjoy the day

Afternoon on the South bank

I love to go there once in a while. Great action with the BMX/skate, nice scenery, a quick stop at the Tate Gallery and cool people watching. And when the sun goes down, it's even better.

Theo - 2 months

Here we go... Already 2 months and a week. The little monkey has grown quite a bit and is entertaining us so much.

In fact he just loves moving his arms and making faces and smile at us.

And on week 9 and 4 days, he broke the 12 pounds barrier!

here you go for the last serie of pics

A bit of fluff in the streets...

Snow doesn't come very often in London, but I always love it.

Last time we had a significant snow, it was almost 2 years ago...

Things have changed in the last 2 years... Oh yes they have.
Theo is born, we redid the house with loft conversion, the garden is complete. I've embarked on a new exciting adventure. Georgia managed to get back into interior design with home staging before Theo's birth. I am so proud of her going around doing her house renovations, 8 months pregnant!. Our extended family and friends has grown quite a bit as well with many new borns, who will be perfect cousins or friends for Theo when he grows. We also did a few trips to discover new cultures with Mexico, Greece and Portugal.

Change is good, it keep things interesting. And even if Auckland Hill doesn't look like it changed much in the 2 pictures below, this is only an impression!

Theo - 5-8 weeks

Here comes another serie of pictures from our little stinker!
Theo is doing great. in the last 3 weeks, he definitly learned to look steadily, to smile, and to become even more cheeky and making tons of faces, which we love!.

Also he got his first cold but that didn't last long... just a couple days. And he got to see the queen's house (from the outside).

At 7 weeks, he weights 5kgs or 11lbs and is 59cm tall or 1'11".

Spectacular conjunction

When celestial mechanics plays it well, it becomes a pure pleasure for our eyes.
One such event happened recently on Dec 1st when the moon, Venus and Jupiter got positioned together in the evening sky within a few degrees of each other.
In fact, the moon even eclipsed Venus for 2 hours.

Unfortunately, the London weather didn't allow me to enjoy it on the D-day.

So I got a picture before the show on Nov 25th and another 2 days after the show on Dec 3rd as the moon had already distanced itself from the 2 planets by 26 degrees (the moon does a full 360 degrees in the sky in 28 days or 13 degrees per day).

Nationalities

Theo became french and american this week! Though he isn't allowed to be english yet, as Daddy hasn't spent the mandatory 5 years in UK as an ECC citizen.

Well all in all it was a very smooth process. But I'm glad it's done.
