Just back from a few days in England, where we took an afternoon stroll along the Thames...
...had lunch at The Minnow in Weybridge with this lively cherub...
...and spent a warm sunny day with family.
Another day David went bird-watching, while I shopped in Guildford (shoes at LK Bennett and replenished my supply of Origins' Dr. Andrew Weil moisturisers, etc.). Luckily, we had a fairly uneventful drive through four countries each way: the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Eurotunnel to England.
The last time David visited his family was November, while I was in India and Nepal. Baby Joseph has grown considerably since then, walking, climbing stairs and asserting his independence.
In November, David took this picture of Joseph with his lovely auntie Marie-Claire, who lives in Oxford.
...and another of David's photos from November. I like how the coloured stripes in Joseph's shirt match his toy.
Last weekend, a happy little boy with his father. As you can see, stripes are ever-popular!
Banging his cup like a drum at a local park, as his mother watches.
Laughing with his grandfather, who taught him a few mischievous tricks.
Tara, this is all lovely!
how fun to bird with David! share secrets and mischievous tricks!

I believe Mr. Joseph will be breaking more than one heart in his travels...what a little charmer! These photos and glimpses into your life are such fun, Tara. Thank you.
PS-the Netherlands is proving to be so much more than I ever thought it was. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen your photos.

isn't it amazing how children will look you right in the eye like they know you know what and how much they are. I always see that and say a silent prayer of hope that they never forget that. I also always hope the rest of us will remember it.
