Having a birthday in August means fitting the celebration in with school term limits. So, the party was a few days late! But well worth the wait.
Lily loves playing with Yvonne's collection of Russian dolls - the kind wherein each doll contains a smaller version of itself. I don't think Lily understands the relationship, but enjoys putting them inside bigger ones. Here they are lined up along the cooffee table.
A "missing generation" photo was required for one of the boys to take to school. So, this was the chance to produce an up to date one. Note Cooper's "smile". I took 3 photos, and in each one, one of the youngsters has a goofing off face.

Cooper (standing) invented a new game - walking around in Dandy's (grandfather) jumper, but with his legs in the arms. The youngsters had quite a lof of fun with this game (see the video for action).
