4 kids with lots of energy... a sale at ASDA (the Walmart of the UK) ... it had to happen....
It was a sad day in the Donaldson house today. Lulu left to go home. We will miss her very much. She was such a big help to us while she was here. She helped to make the transition of moving overseas an easier one. Traveling with 4 children under 7 was great for that added hand. Unpacking was a little lighter, and that extra body in the car telling me to get over on the right side of the road made me all the braver to tackle the roads. Thank you Lulu, we love you. We won’t say good-bye...just see you soon.
Sure, of course it rains in Wales. After all, there is a reason why things are green here, but there are also bright and sunny days as well! Our first full week held some beautiful spring days for play and exploration. Most of the shots are in and around our house, with a couple from a day trip to the town of Barry. Notice that everyone now has their required Wellie footwear!
