having a kid that eats is a huge relief, considering that his older brother who will be 5 in a week still only eats about 6 things. (we're trying to figure out how he's going to survive at school. for the moment we're planning on packing a thermos of macaroni and cheese for him, since that is what he has for lunch every day.) but rex, the younger one, is much wider ranging. you can put almost anything in front of him and he'll take at least a bite. and a lot of things he'll just chow right through. (especially fresh fruits and veggies. very gratifying.)

Owen is on the right. My wife said he was standing on his toes (which is why he looks taller).
The first day went pretty well. They actually took a NAP, if you can believe it. It's a co-op, so my wife has to teach there one day a week. Today will be their first day without mommy.

My son demands inclusion on this thread. He's at the back. Him and his mate pedalled this contraption 10 miles, including over a flyover, the whole time blaring out "Entry of the Gladiators" and "Chealsea Dagger" from their on-board speakers. They are an insane clown posse.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2626/3879036374_bcaef707a4.jpg

Seth at 3 weeks, ready to go out for the day.

Fantastic, Ned - were they photos taken by the event organisers at the finish?
Love the pic of Ophelia in the schoolyard. And Seth is totally ready - in fact, he looks like he's been ready for hours. When are we leaving?
On Saturday we went to Dulwich to ogle multi-million pound houses and run around in their immaculate park...

xps.Yeah, there was guys at the "hubs" running around trying to take photos of everyone. Considering there was about 8000 cyclists they did a good job. After the race you could d/l your pics for free. Here's my daughter racing to the finish and doing her fake smile.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2559/3878240371_4e99a544d2.jpg

I can't believe how big all your kids are getting! So so cute. And Michael, I still think that your youngest is the coolest kid I've ever seen - she's going to be a badass and I mean that in the best way. :D

That whole set is a joy (delighted to see a Tallulah in there!). We've got to get these kids to a beach sometime.
For the time being, camping will have to do...

Ava, not sure whether she's glad to be back at school (was nursery last year, it's reception this year), Lulu, determined not to let her go...

That's Ava's sort-of school uniform. They're not too strict as long as you adhere to colours and everything is fairly plain. Don't want to go overboard here, but here's a couple of small ones for comparison (probably posted on other threads before) - Ava and Lulu at start of Ava's nursery year and the two of them at end of nursery year. (We do have a similar shot of them at the front door for Sept '09 but I prefer the garden pic above)...

Right after this shot, Elisabeth decided to have some of Ophelia's meat. It's the first time she has eaten something we cooked. She usually eats specific baby food (spaghetti 12-36 months). You don't know how happy this made.

Good work! With Ava and Lulu, blowing bubbles usually ends up being an advanced form of spitting. Lulu still hasn't mastered blowing her own nose (she finds the whole operation hilarious).
