Max's Birthday Party!!

Max had a great time helping me bake his Fire Engine cake!

Max & Tessa waiting at the park for friends to arrive...

Our family after Max blew out the candles.

Loving his new presents... fireman outfit from Ethan & Zara, boots from Leila & Nate! Doesn't get any better than this when you're three!!

Max and Ethan saving Isabella & Leila from the fire!

Keeping cool...

The park nearest our house has a great wading pool... the Summer has been so nice, we've been wading quite a bit!!

We can't get enough Wimbledon in our house...

"Max doesn't know I have his Wimbledon headband and wrist bands!"

"Here Tessa, let me show you have to wear them..."

"Actually, maybe I should just wear them!"

Picnic with friends in Richmond Park!!

After swimming at Oscar & Rufus' Grandma's house we walked to Richmond Park for a picnic... after we were finished eating the kids were playing around and one by one the oldest three climbed onto the log and sat next to each other. It was VERY sweet!!

As you can see Isabella was the initiator, with Max coming in second...

and Oscar deciding he wanted to be part of it too... Rufus is in the foreground minding his own business!

But we thought he should sit with the older kids too!

Tessa wandering through the long grass!!

I just want to be like My Daddy!!

A few Random shots from June that were stuck on my phone!

We met up with the Donovan's at St James Park... here are Tessa & Nate enjoying the sand pit!

On our way home from the park Max got a 'soldier outfit' aka Beefeater uniform! He wore it for about 4 days in a row.... to Waitrose, the playground and school!!

Here he is after just showing me how he LONG JUMPS! Of course, in his soldier outfit!

Face Painting...

On July 1st, the Fulham Palace Garden Center around the corner from our house celebrated 25 years and had FACE PAINTING!! Check out Max's Green Dinosaur face (AND Tessa watching VERY closely!)

4th of July

We spent the afternoon of the 4th at the "Democrats Abroad" event at Portman Square... very chill and surprisingly non-political! We went with Diego & Gabriel Shin (Diego went to Hamilton with Christian but they didn't meet till they studied in Madrid). Nothing better than getting your face painted!!
