Day 110 - Just checking

This was the littlest today. I found her on my bed this morning just have a little check with George that he was as happy to have her home, as she was to be home! Not sure what answer she got, but she looks happy!

Day 109 - Bob

As promised for being a good girl all the way through the food shopping trip, her reward was a little trip with Bob, and she was over the moon about it!

Day 108 - Spoilt for choice

There is nothing I love more than to watch the biggest at the library. His love of reading and books is wonderful, long may it continue & thanks to our wonderful local library I think it will :)

Day 107 - Seven little ducklings

It was amazing to be a part of this today.

Seven little ducklings, jumped from their nest one by one, were met by Mummy duck who then, after having a little bit of bread from us, took them down to the lake and in to the water for their first ever swim.

Beautiful!

Just after jumping from the tree

You can just see the lake in the top right corner

Just having a little drink before jumping in

And off they go!!

Day 106 - Remembering

On the way back from Sunday morning football I drove through Netherton, and that's when I saw it, the replica anchor from RMS Titanic.

It seemed only right that it should be my photo today as we remember the 1516 people who never came home.

Day 105 - What a find

You know that part of the tumble drier that holds the filter, well underneath all that, I found all this!! Hehe!

Quite a find!!

Day 104 - Favourite toys

A quick overnight stop at Nannies means the littlest gets to play with my old Fisher Price toys again. It's amazing how despite being the oldest toys in Nannies collection, they are still the favourites! 

You've got to love Fisher Price :)

Day 103 - Homeward bound

Goodbye Tokyo, 5am in the morning and our final view of Tokyo Tower

Oliver took this out of his window.. goodbye Japan!

Lily was absolutely perfect on the flight home, I was so proud of both of them

Thoroughly enjoying the in-flight entertainment!!

Day 102 - Roppongi spider

This statue terrified Oliver last time, he would stand by it, walk by it or have his photo taken by it, so he wanted to do it this time around! I, on the other hand, was going no where near it!!!

Day 101 - Megaro River

We took a walk down the Megaro river today, it was by far the most beautiful place with Cherry blossom tree's running down both sides, it was gorgeous!

A rare photo of me and Lily along the Megaro

Day 100 - Yokohama

The last time I went to Yokohama was in 1997, and it was absolutely brilliant to go back. The place has changed lots from how I remembered it, but it was fantastic to visit again.

Quick family shot :)

Enjoying the funfair in Yokohama bay

I mean seriously, how cute are they!!

Day 99 - Hanami

With it being the weekend Hanami was in full swing down at the local park. Wouldn't it be great if we did something like this in our country!

Enjoying and welcoming the spring - cherry blossom season in Tokyo

Day 98 - Asakusa

The littlest didn't have the best day today, in fact she pretty much had a total melt down :( but having spent the first few nights wide awake and then missing her usual sleep in the day, I can't say it wasn't expected, just rather stressful!

But after a little chat with Daddy, and a bit of a cuddle she seemed to perk up a bit, she loves her Daddy!

After a walk around the Edu Tokyo museum we headed towards Asakusa, had a walk through the markets & headed  to the shrine

This is by far my favourite place

And in Cherry blossom season it looked totally amazing

My gorgeous boy :)

Day 97 - Four years on again!

We had a visit to the zoo today. Both of them absolutely loved it, and of course as we took Oliver there last time, we just had to take a photo with his little sister this time! 

Ol & Lil at the Ueno Zoo statue

Oli, four years ago!!

Day 96 - Harajuko

God there are so many photos I could pick from today, this is really hard! We had a lovely day today, the kids had so many fab things to look at and it was great!

I should have started a dog blog, they certainly love them over there!

I have no words!

Day 95 - Four years on

We had such a busy day today, but I had to choose this photo. Four years ago we took a three year old Oliver on this wheel and this was them, four years on.. love it!

Day 94 - Very high up!

The littlest spent most of her time gazing out of the window and escaping to my in-laws room to have a look out of their window. This was the only time I managed to catch her!

Day 93 - The view

And what a view it was.. welcome to Tokyo, the view from the lounge..

Day 92 - A day of travelling

We had their little bags packed and filled with new little toys and to be honest they were both brilliantly behaved, well apart from a few little teething problems with the littlest, but then she is 2 and this was totally new to her, so I think she did well :)

Day 91 - On our travels

So we are off! I haven't posted for a while as we set off on our travels to Japan on the 31st, and this was the kids on our way down to the airport!
