N & A update (and a photograph overload)

I haven't written much about what Nicholas and Audrey have been doing lately...
Audrey loves watching Gaspard and Lisa - a gorgeous cartoon about two friends, set in Paris.
{a video of Audrey singing Gaspard and Lisa should be here, but it won't load!}



Probably the best update is pictures, rather than words.













As for me, slowly I have been able to finish another book and will take some time to ponder what my next read will be. 

I am also waiting to see which book is selected for this book club.

While taking my time I have been finishing off a number of unfinished projects and have begun to prepare for the next project...

and there's more

This could go on forever, but I keep thinking of just one more to add...

third favourite

(although in no particular order)... and another apartment I have long dreamt is mine!

another one

Although I love just about all of Audrey Hepburn's films, if pressed, I'd say one of my favourites is Funny Face.

silver screen

I've been looking at trailers for some of my favourite movies.  I remember seeing Green Card when I was at university and had a considerable break between lectures, so I took myself off to the movies.  It is still one of my favourite movies.  I remember wishing I owned this apartment!

Audrey...

...has fine hair.  Mum says I did as well when I was little.  We thought we would get it cut into another bob and then start letting it get some length.  I was a little reluctant as I loved brushing her hair and putting it into a simple ponytail.  David finds it frustrating and said when he is home with her he tries to do her hair but she pulls it out and by the end of the day looks feral.  I can't disagree with him there!

So I took her for a bob.  Thinking she would look French chic, like the little girl from Amelie. 

She looks more like the grown-up Amelie (which is still pretty) but I think when I said "so that it sits on her shoulders" they must have thought I said "below her earlobes"!  [sniff, sniff]


So if a grown up Audrey sees a picture of her at age 3 1/2 - I'll say sorry!!
