Home Alone IV - starring Betty Jean Culkin

Julian is in Australia shooting so BJ and I have been amusing ourselves here at home alone. It's a bit dull without him so Betty Jean has taken to "playing" with Bunny. By this I mean pulling all Bunny's hair out. Bless Bunny, she just bites BJ gently until she lets go.
The garden is looking a bit hillbilly, but there is so much going on out there. We ate one of our baby spuds the other day (just a test - we chopped the spud into about 10 mini chips), we have more tomatoes than we are going to be able to handle, and the basil just keeps giving us lots of pesto.
We are going to need a lot more though if we ever want to supply our own food. We have joined HDRA and it is a pretty amazing resource. I just hope that we can just invert all the seasonal garden work calendars when we come back to Australia but somehow I don't think it is going to be that simple.
The wedding is all planned thanks to mum. Very much looking forward to seeing people. Life has been very uncomplicated of late and it is nice to sit back and take note of that - it hardly ever happens.

I don't see no ring on this finger!

So now I can't carry on like a guest on Rikki Lake.
Julian proposed by the Seine at a little park behind Notre Dame.
Betty Jean was asleep thankfully. It was all terribly romantic.
The ring is recycled as per my wishes. Let this be a lesson to all
planning on having babies : Julian has been hiding this ring for 9 months
waiting for the right moment - 9 months! Julian is just heavenly and makes
most men look really crap. I am very much in love.

Betty Jean misses out on Le Metro.

Our hotel room looks like baby rock stars have trashed it.
This is little Michel, BJ's new friend.

Better as a lomo - again, until we get our scanner...

Poupee goes on a train ride.

Yum, this is great. French baby food is full of sugar and salt.

Michel is also yummy (BTW, Betty Jean is cutting her teeth. Her little
Princess Tina "crying tooth" tshirt doesn't fit yet, but I think
she will have to wear it anyway as a warning to people trying to come
near her.)

Like our neighbours Jade and Kate, Betty knows when there are
cameras around!

More like her daddy every day.

Petit Betty

This is not just about Betty - I just thought that sounded cute. Just got back from Paris and until I buy a flatbed on eBay, these crummy digital copies will just have to do. In real life they are so gorgeous - we took them with Julian's old Polaroid Land Camera. It's such a shame that Polaroid is no more. There is another blog to follow - I am blogging super quickly because without our blog we might disappear.
