Cup cakes! (The Rutters and Tonki will understand)

Good grief.  No Internet access for over a month. I ask you.  We have now sacked off our old provider, and have gone all 'BT'. 

Well, sad times are ahead.  The Rutters leave for Canada very VERY soon. I don't like it AT ALL.

We have begun a long line of leaving parties, so that is good (at least).  There was the day we all went shopping in London, and then had lunch, which turned into cocktails

David came to take Rebecca home. A wise move methinks...

I love this photo of me and Rutter

Beginning to look a little 'worse for wear' here

Ahhh. What fun times we have had.

I can't really imagine life without a regular dose of the Rutters.  We have seen each other at around 3 times a week for the past 3+ years. There are a lot of happy memories.  We particularly wanted to give Mabel a happy memory to remember us by, so we took her to a kids theme park for the day, followed by tea at McDonald's and then a sleepover at our house.  Very fun.  The Tonki came to the theme park too...

This picture (below) makes me cry..... it is off-centre because Harv and Mabel were careering around at the time

Mabel has a fantastic digital kids camera. Harvey now wants one (of course). To keep him quiet, we let him take some photos, and here they are

 

   

The day at the park exhausted Mabel and Harv so much, they were asleep by 9:30, a miracle, if you remember the last time Mabel stayed over.

The next day, they were up bright and early. Pancakes were made for breakfast, and into the garden they went. Then into a bush they went

Amabella Hebe Rutter, we will miss you so much.  And Mummy and Daddy Rutter too, and certainly not forgetting Isadora Clemetine Rutter

Gotta go.  Filling up....
