This is BB’s game, and again played at centerparcs, though I did love Frb, her dad, SB and BB all playing. It is a very good game for linguistic practice! nice and simple, and a lovely twist on pictionary. in my opinion the best of the lego games.

SB got this game for her birthday, and we played it quite a lot when in centerparcs. It is a fun game with an interesting twist. It is cooperative, us all against the monsters. However, if we don’t lose, you then score the monsters killed, so that an individual wins. cooperative vs will to win. clever!

A game full of (s)laughter . Small world. Sb got this some time ago for a birthday and loves it

Bb happily did the Collins spelling on her own. Must do piano with her!

We really enjoy thus game. It is quick and a number of different ways to do well.

V lovely reunion

see you soon SB.

The En Famille roller coaster is slowing down now. Will soon be time to get off and get ready for the next ride.  I’m heading out of london on the Paris bound Eurostar, en route to Stringbean’s French family, tomorrow she flies home with me

Whilst excited that she is coming home, it also feels a bit odd. It’s feels a bit odd that she has had this other life somewhere else that we have just glimpsed bits of really. And we have settled into a bit of a different rythym here.

I wonder how SB will about being home, and about the last 6 months, and how she will have changed. And of course we aren’t going to be going back to normal anyway, this is just an interlude before FrenchBean joins us, which is another whole scary kettle of fish.

It’s been hard at times, saying goodbye to SB in France last year was so difficult.  BB has struggled at times, it took her some weeks to settle down, and I will always remember just how tight she hugged SB when we left. But it has also been lovely to see how well it has worked for SB.  Bow happy she is, how good her French is. We are so proud of her and pleased that we felt able to rise to the her challenge.

Time to post, almost under the channel

so we have started to a bit more deconstruction in the original bathroom to make a temporary bedroom for BB that we will fix up when FrB gone home

some way to go hey!
