School's out, moved house, Clara turned two, and came to Canada! (Busy two weeks)

These pics are in reverse order and for some reason I can't change them, but anyway....

Playing in the playground in our new garden (we have an enormous shared garden, more like a park really)

Our building - ours is the apartment you see just above the tops of the trees

View from the main balcony, looking towards Clara's bedroom balcony (which we plan to turn into a little garden)

Birthday party

Had Clara's birthday party on Monday, and I think it was a success! Everyone seemed to have a good time. There was lots of food, decorations, and play stations set up: play-doh station, magnetic letters stations, train set, puzzle station, farm, and of course the usual push-each-other-around-in-the-doll-stroller activity. Clara had 7 little friends over between the ages of 21 months and nearly 5 years old: Molly and Simon, Quinn and Keller, Roman, Andris, and Szonya. She had a great time, and loved helping to get everything ready. She helped make the caterpillar cake, set up the play stations, decorate, and even helped sweep up afterwards! And she even let us put on her new dress from Nagyi and the hair bows from Mummy, that just coincidentally are a perfect match.
