We used the last of the apples from our apple tree to make an apple & raspberry crumble, yummy!
Start of the rainy season

Page loves waking up to the rain. That means she gets to sport her rainy day outfit of rain jacket, boots and umbrella. And she gets to jump in puddles!

Brendan and I attended an art show and had a few moments before we took Page to Tata’s to explore the grounds. I think Page is ready for soccer classes!
Watch out Poppy!

AARRRRR!
This one is a little more ambitious and scary. Page likes to call it “Creature from the Black Balloon”. We played it in 3D at PAIFF outside and Page came to the show briefly. She was mesmerized and couldn’t stop talking about it. She didn’t seem scared, she just thought it was funny…
Elmo!
Wow!

Alex’s Palo Alto Festival is in full swing right now, and while we’ll certainly have a bigger post to wrap it up, here is a little update.
We took Page to her first real cinema experience yesterday. The film was Adventures in Zambezia in 3D, an animation from South Africa with voices by Abigail Breslin and Samuel L Jackson. Alex introduced the film and hosted the Q&A and even managed to squeeze in a joke at my expense…
With the 3D came the 3D glasses –
Our resident hipster said “Wow!” about a hundred times in the 15 minutes that she watched before getting fidgety.
Did you know that owl’s have three eyelids? No? Page does.
One of the innovations at this year’s festival is a real time interactive quiz as a prelude to each of the films. It’s a great way to get the audience involved while they are waiting and I’m pretty sure you’ll see more of it. As for the owls, I had no idea of the answer to that question in the quiz, so I asked Page. Props!
Other highlights so far include one of the Oscar winners that Alex keeps in her back pocket making this for the 30th anniversary outdoor screening of ET (“Teapot” according to Page)
Girl in Variety’s not bad either –
Happy 2nd Birthday Page Alina Ballerina!

We awoke early on Thursday morning and decided to let Page open just a few pressies, we were hoping we could hold out until Saturday when we were having her *real* birthday party with Grandma, Carson and friends. But Page got the pressie bug and we just couldn’t stop her…
Let the Games begin!
Super blurry, but captures the moment.”Ready for more, Dada?”. “Ok, Page.”
Accessories!
Heaps of wonderful pressies from back home in OZ! Thank you Mama, Papa, Uncle Peter, cousin James, Uncle Martin and Antie Jodie!
