We're still here - and we're growing up

So, how many months is that then? It's been a busy few months. In a set of bullet points:

• Kirin celebrated his fourth birthday. The weather was good we had a barbecue and lots of fun in teh garden. He loved it.
• Malik is talking more and more and a lovely little bundle of smiling fun. He's learning Portuguese from Patricia, our Brazilian nanny.
  
• The boys have a very sweet relationship. Kirin seems to love having a little brother and Malik spends a fair bit of time following his big brother around, and trying to copy him while stil carving out his own identity.
  

These pics were taken a few weeks ago when Neena, Paul and Chandra came to visit. We rented a little cottage for a few days up in Norfolk and these are the boys on the stairs there.
