Taking it Easy in Derby

Grace and I have been relaxing this week, tomorrow we are going for her first bus ride into Derby! Going to do a little of retail therapy and get out of the house for a bit. Her daddy will be home from work tomorrow night so can't do too much damage at the stores.

Talked to Poppa T yesterday and he is looking forward to our arrival on Monday. I think he'll be on a flight over on Tuesday if we aren't home:)

Only 1 More Week

Being good for Mum while her pants get put back on- haha Daddy

Climbing steps

Playing with her Great Grandpa Stefan





Getting ready for the car ride to Cornwall






Enjoying the ducks at Markeaton Park in Derby
I have been 'not so good' in keeping this updated while in Britain- because there is so much stuff to do!! I went to Paris at the end of February for a few days- was sick the first so slept mostly, then went to several churches and the Eiffel Tower the
next day, and on the last I went to a huge cemetery- Pere Lachaise, Sacre Coeur for mass, and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. It was loads of fun but I was ready to come home- I missed my Gracie... who did very well for her dad and grandma while I was away (I do believe though that Grandma Ski should get most of the credit:)

In order to complete the order sent by my sister through a text message, here are some requested pictures of Gracie in her first ever trip to the UK. She has been eating loads of new stuff like cottage pie and spaghetti bolognase. We have just returned from visiting her great grandparents in Cornwall. She was on her best behaviour and barely had to be put in the playpen.

We have had an awesome three weeks and this week will be the last before flying back home on the 16th. The plan is to relax in Derby and visit more family and friends so she can coo and smile to everyone:) I know everyone back home is awaiting our arrivial, and it will be soon so don't worry lol
