EJW: Season one

[misterdaniel]

Yesterday, to mark Ellie's birthday, Kaz created a DVD combining all the video clips we made over her first year. An awesome illustration of how much she has come on (if only in hair growth). We had it playing in the background whilst she opened her presents and cards at grandma's house. We had a lovely lunch with a mini-birthday cake. Uncle Matthew probably scored the winning gift with a small drum that EJ loved banging on with a tad more enthusiasm than rhythm. (I may yet come to curse his name.) That day followed a day trip to Norwich, where Oma had given EJ an eponymous rose to grow with her over her life and they exchanged many big smiles and happy waves.

There's a fair bit absent from this update, but this is how I choose to remember the weekend.

Knuffels, and the real birthday-present from Holland does NOT make loud noise ;)
Only... when you start reading it as bed-time story before the age-range YOU are the one who does get hoarse, and she does not understand yet. That's the only thing you can blame me for!
love, Nan.
