A farmer's life for me

Let's see how her teeth are...
A think a diet of stones would be better. Here you go...
Poor terrified little chick
Now to torment a rabbit

I think she likes Chinese whispers but I don't speak Chinese
I'm not sure I trust the guide - he walks with his eyes shut
Oscar seems pretty confident on his first ride

Learning to make tortillas by hand...may come in useful one day.
Squeeze
Putting fruit in the trees...
...then harvesting it
To be truly perfect a place must have lots of balls!
Thirsty work. Glad for the freebies!
Tabitha shows that she has adapted to the Mexican way of driving
The bumpy slide was a big hit
As was the bungy trampoline again.
Replenishing the empty tanks
Home again. Tired but happy!

Things that make mummy laugh

My name tag when she picked me up from the nursery on Tuesday after MOPS said Güero (weh-ro) which means 'White Boy'.
Tabitha found more make-up. But I bet you can't see her spots!!

A place to call home

This is our new house. Well not quite all of it...we are behind the two windows in the top left of the building - a fun place to be when there's a load of shopping in the car!
And here's a little of the view on market day.

On the move

Lots of things in odd places means new nooks to hide out in (and be lions!)
Spot the child!
If the TV goes I go too!
Boowa and Kwala keep us company while Mummy and Tia Robin try to clean the entire house before the movers get back with a load to refill it.
Reinstallation complete!
Sharing a bed... well not quite but we are all sharing a bedroom which makes us think we are on holiday!
Tabitha's reaction

Day out

On Wednesday it was a national holiday so everyone was off work... including Daddy.
We went to a nice park with some people from church.
Hanging out with Karla
Sure glad there's a fence separating us!
First we fed grass to the goat. Then when we got home we role played the activity with Oscar being the goat. Funny enough he puked it all up some time later!
Onward and upward.
Barbeque - Mexican style.
That's my tortilla on top of the cactus, onions, beef and chorizo.

Mexican?

That's one pale-skinned Mexican family!

Power

I think I'm ready. Where are the keys?

Book Club

Tabitha likes to get everything just right to read a story to me.
Only when she reads the book does every page start with "One day..." and finish with 'Amen!'

Fernanda

Just happy to hang out with Fernanda for ages...

Independence Day

15th September is near which means it's party time.
Boys seem to be in short supply at La Loma...
Ahhh, Santiago. We need to stick together mate!
Sawli. Still one month between Tabitha and her but they're bigger these days...
Sofi's mum thinks we're going to get married...
Tabitha seems to approve
Call me Pancho
Mummy seems to be busy...
which means we can look for fun things to do.
Dressing up is an exhausting process.
Team Agnew take to the catwalk. We won but only when Daddy joined us!!!

Bogo

Sometimes I wish they would just give me the thing rather than always playing this game!!

Excuse me...

Tia Margaret and I happened to want the same chair so my best plan was to wedge myself here and try to push her off... Kindly she complied with my wishes.

All my own work

I painted my eyes black and then added water to make it really nice...
