Sports Day full of ribbons

Rio came home today with 2 first place ribbons, 2 second place and one third...mostly for running, jumping and throwing. She's turning into quite an athlete. It must be the Neumann blood.

 
 
 

Libiamo, libiamo ne’lieti calici che la belleza infiora

Thank you all for coming and making Rio's 6th birthday party such a memorable event.

Now we are Six

When I was One,
I had just begun.

When I was Two,
I was nearly new.

When I was Three,
I was hardly Me.

When I was Four,
I was not much more.

When I was Five,
I was just alive.

But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

Video documenting the very busy tea party coming soon!

Oh, forgot - we had the most absolutely beautiful weather!

And now I can dream about this sold out bag, grrrrrrr

And here's a link to the Uwe forwarded online book about keeping the dream alive: Awesome Book

BBC Weather vs Weather.com

We are planning to do Rio's birthday party this Sunday, in our back garden. This year's theme is Tea Party with a treasure hunt. We have ten little girls all prepared to come in their finest attire. Now I'm thinking I should also request umbrellas and rain boots to complete the look. Too bad I can't rent huge umbrellas.

Yes, as always, the problem is the weather forecast. June is apparently one of the rainiest months here. But, so far, there is some hope - the BBC forecast. Let's all hope it's correct. We'll know in few days which website gives more accurate forecast.
