Welcome to the house of fun!

Our house is quickly becoming Baby HQ, baby stuff is being unpacked and finding a home and bags of clothes are being washed and sorted by age range, thanks to everyone who's sent us things, it's all much appreciated... we thought we'd share a couple of fun photos. 

Our hanging toy rack... was recently a big hit with a visiting baby. 

It seems our baby wants to give Imelda Marcos a run for her money, as his growing collection of shoes attests, he literally has more shoes than his dad. 

Deptford Wives

A bit about our new neighborhood.

We moved in January to an apartment in SouthEast London.  Our neighborhood is called Deptford, in the council of Lewisham, south of the river Thames.  The neighborhood is more residential then where we previously lived, which is nice, and there is a large Vietnamese population so we are really close to a good Pho shop, which makes me happy because it reminds me of Houston.  The neighborhood is quirky, but not too trendy, and we live close to: a park, pharmacy, library, doctor, grocery stores, and a McDonald's (sometimes you just need a McFlurry ;).

If anyone is thinking of visiting, Greenwich is the closest neighborhood that has hotels, and probably the nicest close place to stay.  Our apartment is tiny, but has a large garden so I am really looking forward to summer when I can sit outside and enjoy the late summer sunlight.

I will post more about the little man as he begins to come on the scene, and thanks to everyone who has stopped by the blog for a visit, I am really looking forward to keeping all my friends and family around the world up to date as we build our nest in London. xoxo Rose
