Happy Easter

Happy Birthday Eliot and Colin

Colin and Eliot celebrated their birthdays at the beginning of April. We were joined by my brother Nathan and sister-in-law, Bethany that week and it was nice to have family around to add to the festivities. For Colin's birthday we all went to the Red Bull Pub, which is about a 10 minute walk away and had pizza.

Eliot had a small party with 4 friends and a Lemon boat cake for his birthday at home. Many of the presents he got make noise (a bike bell, a drum, a playmobil circus set). None of those came from his parents. He also received a 'Like-a-Bike' which is a wooden bike with out wheels. They are common over here and children as small as 2 zoom around on them in the park. The idea is that you learn how to steer and balance on a bike and then graduate up to a regular bike, skipping the training wheel phase. Eliot seemed to get the hang of it quickly and he is now faster than ever.
