"a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015."

Stella: She started school this week. She has a new (big!!!) school, a new uniform and a new Chinese name. Lulu.

Hugo: Continues to be fascinated with cars, and enjoys nothing more than zooming them along the window ledge in the hallway. 

Just like that our summer is over. Next week it's back to routine, mornings on deadline, and (oh dear!) adding packed lunches to the mix. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that sort of regimented living. We're sneaking in one last hurrah, however, before we're truly back to normal. My dad is visiting and we're blowing off the first few days of school to go up to the mountains (hills??) and hang out in the countryside for a few days. Maybe I'll be ready to face packed lunches after that?? (Doubt it.)
