9 Years Old

Marie-Kate turned nine yesterday. Our little girl is growing up so fast.

Her papa took the day off, so she could come home for lunch, where they shared a delicious cheese and onion omelette.

 She opened one present in advance, "Sims Supernatural" for her PC.  
We have three girls who are crazy for Sims...  She had a couple of books (not enough), a scarf making kit from her grandparents in Brittany, clothes and some money from Grannie in the UK (ear-marked for books), and lots of pony accessories and new boots, johhpurs et cetera...

Marie-Kate is a sweet girl, very sensitive, thoughtful, who if crossed can become "very" hot tempered and very loud.  She loves school, reading comic books and manga's, playing Sims and hanging out with Gaby and Alexis.
Her favourite meal is breakfast, although her favourite food is probably cheese, she is gourmand and hates fast food.

Happy Birthday Marie-Kate!

Miss Pony

Things are settling into place here, it's taken three months, but we are getting there.  The children have been helping a lot around the house, especially Charlotte, which is great, homework gets done before we get home, unless it's too difficult. 

Weekend's are always busy, and Marie-Kate is really loving her  horse-riding club, granted she's still small enough to ride a pony.  Today she was first to arrive and she rode Gallopy today. One day maybe she'll let me take a photo of her, but for now, this is the best I could get.
