Catching up, first
There are a few (well, many actually) good pictures of Sulwen I have to
get out for people to see. They cover much of the time since the first
pictures I posted of Sulwen.
On 10-02-07 we got the following pictures from Tanna and Stephen.
Here's a grin, kind of
Here she is, ready for Hawaii

Pre Christmas Celebration
The second week of December we traveled to Timber Cove for an early Christmas with Sulwen,
Tanna, and Stephen, and also Stephen's mother Nancy (Sulwen's Nanny). We all
arrived while Sulwen and her parents and Hailey were out taking a hike at Gerstel Cove.
But, we went in and made ourselves at home.

Grandad cuts the shepherd's pie
Dinner finished, we take a little break for sunset beauty before opening
the (pre)Christmas gifts. The first shot taken from a deck shows the
reflection in the window of the sky and a beam of the house. The interesting
thing is that the reflection of the beam allows the view through the window
into the house and through another window to reveal the trees in that direction.

Back to the Christmas part
Ready to open presents
Oh, that looks like a good one
Yes! It was a good one
Thank you, thank you
Happy Day

More interesting stuff with Grammy
All right! This is a stocking!Ah Grandad, let's read
Go, Stanford
Who's interrupting my reading?
That's better
This is almost as good as reading
Yep, that's Christmas stocking worth having
We left the Timber Cove to return to Green Valley happy that we had shared
in Sulwen's first Christmas, even though it was a couple of weeks early.
Just before Christmas
First day in jeans
Osh-Kosh overalls are great!
It's good being on Dad's shoulders
This is almost like a saddle. Can I have a horse?
