Happy Birthday Elsa



It has been 12 whole months since that moment in the wee hours of March 12, 2006 when I told Carlos: "I wouldn't bother getting changed into your pyjamas if I were you." And 12 whole months of getting to know a lovely little person named Elsa Lind. She is a mischevious little slice of joy.
Today was a glorious and unusually warm spring day -- what a wonderful way to welcome Amma, Afi and Kiddi. They arrived this morning and Anna and Elsa were thrilled to see them. Anna immediately co-opted Kiddi to be her own personal entertainment -- she loves her Uncle Kiddi. Meanwhile, the birthday girl entertained with her belly laughs, bear hugs and bottom scoots. It was one of those days that made me feel like a very very lucky person.
P.S. In the background of the pictures you can see some of the new colors of the house. I'm particularly in love with the terracotta color.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADORABLE ELSA!!!!!! We are sending lots of hugs!!!
Sif, I love the Terracotta as well! We did that in our hallway and I think I loved it so much that I blogged about wanting to BE the color, live in it, paint every room in the house that color etc. I do love it and wish my bedroom was that color or something! :)

Congrats on all the paint - it looks fab. Such a nice touch!
