A Royal Visit












Little Madeleine had a super busy week with lots of visits from friends and her first big outing. Benny and I took her to Kensington Palace to see the Mario Testino photographs of Princess Diana. She had a lovely afternoon which included a stroll around the Palace, afternoon tea in the Palace Cafe and a lovely walk through Hyde Park (see pics).

She is a beautiful little soul and is getting more and more animated each day. Her gummy smiles are adorable and they make the night feeds much more bearable. She has started to recognise our voices and is fascinated to hear her daddy's voice when he calls from work during the day. One of her favourite activities is when Simes gives her an early evening bath... she is quite the water baby (see pics).

Benny (otherwise known as Mrs Doubtfire) left us earlier today and is on his way home to Sydney (huge thanks to Richie for the temporary loan) . He filled our lives with laughter while he was here and little Maddy fell for him 'hook, line and sinker'.... so much so that she asked him to be her Godfather and was thrilled when he accepted. Simes and I are eternally grateful to him for being such an amazing friend.

Take care & lots of love xxxxxxxx

Hello little family over there,

Rob, Reg and I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. We hope you have a lovely time and enjoy your first Christmas together. We have loved seeing the snaps of Maddy and you all look fabulous (but of course!).

We are on the countdown with 8 weeks to go (can you remember back that far?) we will be sure to keep you updated with the progress.

Speak soon,
Lots of Love Beth, Rob and Reg xoxox
