Week 105 and Week 18.5 - Charlotte's Birthday

I took so many pictures last week it has taken ages to upload.  But what a great week!

Charlotte turned 2.  She opened presents with enthusiasm (her first event where this was the case).  We took her to the Tanjong Beach Club for brunch and were greeted with great weather.  Charlotte swam with her grandma.  We then invited TT over for some amazing lemon curd cake featuring Hello Kitty.  Charlotte opened a few presents (Diggers!  An Etch a Sketch!  A scooter!  Thanks to everyone!)  Then everyone went down for a nap.  We woke up and spent time with the twins (Lilly and Gwen) for their birthday party.   A second round of swimming commenced - but Charlotte was intimidated by the boy fueled rambunctiousness.

That night Imee came back and the next morning Grandma left.

We have settled back into a routine - Sophia getting attacked by bugs, Charlotte talking up a storm.

We went to a lovely wedding party of our friends Zeina and Nick.  Sophia joined us as she goes everywhere I go.

Everyone got jabbed today.   Sophia has a fever as a result :(.

Matt just asked Charlotte what the doctor's name was and she responded "It's... DOCTOR!"

So it has been busy and fun.
