At the air show

Look look! Here's a new post and it's only been 2 weeks since the last one!

We took a trip to the Houston air show yesterday ("Wings Over Houston" as it is called) and had a brilliant time. Well not so much for M at the start as she got scared during the WWII re-enactment part, but she was ok and really enjoying the show once that part was over. She got to climb onto a cargo plane (twice), look at lots of other aircafts on the ground and see lots of acrobatics being performed. We had good seats booked facing the middle of the airfield, and the weather was very mild and sunny, which made it pretty much perfect for a day out like this.

Here are a few photos of the day:

The bad blogger

It's official. I'm a bad blogger. So, if anyone still comes this way, I would like ideas as to what to write about that could be of interest!

In the meantime, I can show a few pictures of our new place... The move went smoothly, even though we realized once the previous owners' furniture was out, that the whole of the upstairs carpet needed replacing... a trip to Carpet Giant followed, and two days later we were the proud owners of a brand new thick carpet. Three bedrooms were also repainted, a pool fence installed, and a built-in microwave added to the kitchen. We have met a few neighbors, and the area is very international: we are surrounded by Argentinians, Chinese, Azerbaidjanis, Indians, Poles and even a few Americans too. Sounds very promising for when Madeleine goes to the local elementary school and gets to meet children from all sorts of cultural backgrounds.

Beautiful pool and deck. We even get our very own palm trees!
