Good gravy, it's been nearly three weeks since the last update! Busy times, and poorly times. We've had a bit of a family cold going on, as is traditional in Scotland when the nights draw in. Daily life goes on though, and Louis remains a happy wee soul most of the time. Our first trip to Grandma Sheila's in the trailer ended with a sleeping Holly, despite the cold and the bumps in the road...

No Angel
Lest you, dear reader, come to the conclusion that here chez Millar we live a life of perpetual smiles and happiness, I feel I must share with you the sorry tale of Billie and the washing machine. Billie is Holly's favourite doll, and constant companion. To say that Billie tends to get rather grimy in the course of her duties would be something of an understatement, so on Saturday morning we removed her doll-sized garments and tossed them in the washing machine. The resulting explosion of clothes, limbs and wailing from Holly would have put Krakatoa to shame. It took a while, and the strategic deployment of The Jungle Book on the video iPod, to get her calmed down again, at which point Holly expressed her intention to sit in front of the washing machine until the cycle had blummen well finished. She even managed to look cute doing it, the little minx.
Parental Bias
Bathtime last Friday. Clearly I'm biased, but I think when Holly's hair is up off her face (even in a somewhat - erm - unusual soapy style like this one) she's just the most beautiful girl in the world. Biased perhaps, but who wouldn't be?
Remember, Remember - It Must Be November
Already? Here's another few wee glimpses into life around the Millar homestead now that the nights are well and truly drawn in and autumn drifts inexorably towards winter. More indoor stuff, less outdoor...

Chocolate Mouth
A little glimpse into Holly's day at Grandma & Papa's on Wednesday. I'm tucking into the resulting chocolate cornflake crunchy things right now...

Heading South For The Winter
Kirsty and Peter are in the country, so last week Helen, Holly and Louis took the opportunity to head for Essex to see Pat & John, using them as a springboard - so to speak - to visit not only Kirsty, Peter and Beatrice, but Catherine, Matt and Isabel too. And not forgetting Paula of course. Here's a selection of pictures.
