Happy and Happy

These pictures tell all. Mummy is back! And I remember that Chris and Sonja, when they were little and we left, gave us a very hard time when we returned. Good luck and I am on my way back to Canada. Over and out.

Lites

This is actually suspended over the busiest street in the world, or so Oxford street seems. Christmas frenzy is in full swing here but surprisingly I did find a quiet cafe downtown on a side street and I sat and people watched.

Costume of the Day

Today Oona dressed in her princess costume for breakfast at Amouls. Kiefer is so happy because he loves to eat the sausages from his daddy's plate. I had a chance too run around for the afternoon so I went to the British Museum and say the Aztec exhibit. Also went to Oxford street that was a sea of people. I think all of the 8 million people in London were Xmas shopping. Talked to Sonja on Skype and she leaves for home tomorrow.

Park at 8am

Kiefer gets very upset when Onna and A leave for school and work in the morning. So I take him out to the park where at 8am, along with the workers, we are the only ones there. I couldn't get him away from this leaf blower. Kiefer has a good trick with toothbrushes. He sets them all up on the counter, pushes all the buttons (the brushes are electric) and then watches them vibrate and dance across the surface. He then eats the toothpaste.
Oona wears either her bunny suit or tiger suit to the park everyday.

On The Town

London is decked out for Christmas. Sigi and I traveled on a double decker to pick up Oona from school. Oona gave Omi a tour of her classes and then Sigi and I then went down town on our own for lunch, met Alex at his office, had a drink with Mike then went to see a play called the Shawshank Redemption. Here's Sigi being fresh with Roosevelt and Churchill.

Sing Along

Oona left for school this morning on the front of Alex's bike sitting in a little front seat with foot rests. She sings in a loud voice all the way and will not allow Alex to sing. Then Sonja, Kiefer and I went to the sing along at the local library. There were at least 45 moms and dads with kids-so about 90 big and little people. The guy leading was great! S left for a 15 hour flight to Buenos Aires. When we wake up she will still be in the air.

Bollywood dancing

We took Oona to her Bollywood dance class where she is the only fair-haired student. She loves it and showed us the new dance moves afterwards. Here are twin dance instructors, Monisha and Thandi, who allowed me to come into their class and photograph.
Oona introduced me. She said, "This is my Nana. Her name is Nana."
Kiefer had a doctors appointment and the doc thought his temperature was due to teething. He is better.

Mr. GQ

Here I am in London and here is Mr GQ in his new winter jacket. Kiefer has a bit of a fever but no cough so we were out and about. Arrived on a day flight in an empty plane with carry on luggage only. My only complaint is that overzealous airport officials confiscated my homemade pesto and gave me a lecture about terrorists - all because I told the supervisor that the pesto was not a liquid but a paste.
