The lads' 3-month-birthday dinner

Last night I cooked a dinner for the crew to mark Dimitri turning 3 months of age on the 19th, and Darius coming of same age today.

I had a few wines whilst cooking (and at the table) so Nannie my back-seat driver took blurry photos!

Here is a picture of Megan, Neil, me, Elena and Steve getting stuck into dinner.

For the record, it was danish seasoned and stuffed leg of lamb, baked potato, butternut and kumera, baked red onion, brocolli and green beans, with gravy and mint sauce. Desert was berry cheesecake, pears and ice-cream. The wine was a nice Aussie Banrock Station sav blanc.

The lads, Darius and Dimitri (L-R) sat beside the table in their car seats and wondered what the heck we were celebrating! Sorry about the blurry pix.
Dimitri is wearing the cardigan Nannie knitted him for 6 - 12 months size.

Dimitri, not to be outdone!

Some internet language translations for Dimitri:

  • Ukrainian: Dmytro
  • Russian: Dmitri - Dmitriy - Dmitry

And a couple of pictures from the last 24 hours!

I think Dimitri would have preferred to stay in the bath!

Darius features today!

Darius is not quite 3 months old. Today Neil and Megan gave me some recent pictures of him.

We visited along with Stuart (Meg's brother) who was babysitting. Neil and Megan took off for a short ride on the motorbike to blow away some cobwebs - take any chance going when there is competition for baby minding duty!

Remember, you can click on the photo to see it full size (or download it) then use your browser 'back' arrow to return to the blog.

Darius back in early March 2008 - already dreaming of great feats on the rugby field?


This is Darius a few weeks back, socialising with one of his mates! Darius is the one smiling!


And here he is last week getting ready to enjoy story reading from the local newspaper!

Steve and Dimitri

Taken a couple of nights ago....
Hard to believe that in a little over a week Dimitri will be three months old!
(I resized them to a smaller size - sing out if you'd like a full res picture)
