Another party, more thunderstorms, more rain, and just a wee bit of sun!

So I left off last time saying that we were going to the Irlberg street party on the Saturday night. Max, Lilli, and I walked up to Oma & Opa's in the afternoon before the party to help them carry down all the food and drink they had ready for all of us (yep we are spoilt!). What happens with these yearly parties is that you take your meat for the BBQ and then a salad and/or a cake. When you get to the party there are tables ready and glasses are provided. Beer is by the keg and you just mark down each beer you pour and grab any fruit drinks or water and mark them down too. Wine is BYO. All the people from Irlberg (the street which is actually a country road) come to the party with their families. There were probably about 40 people there and it was fun. Lilli was a star as usual and at one point Oma Doris had her outside in the stroller and there were about 10 women standing around her in a circle! It looked so funny. I was inside chatting to Opa Al. :) Then at about 9pm Max, Lilli, and I walked home and I settled Lilli in for the night. Max went to the birthday party that we had been invited to and partied the night away with his mates.

We have still been having thunderstorms everyday! Usually late morning it will fine up just a bit and then turn to crap again in the afternoon. Hahaha. Not so great really but hey, that's how it goes sometimes. Yesterday afternoon it came up lovely and the sun was out and it was really hot but then the wind picked up and it actually got quite chilly last night. Lilli and I rushed out for a walk while the sun was out. Everyday we try to catch that short time of sunshine (if there is one) to go walking but if we miss it then I take her for a walk anyway as long as it's not pouring with rain.

Yesterday Doris & I went to get some teething things for Lilli to chew on. We got a cooling one & one that is like a dummy but follows the shape of her gums (it can be cooled too) and then we got just a plain one that doesn't rattle so I can give it to her if she wakes in the night with sore gums. So we are all sorted.

Here are some more photos:

A friend of Max's got this gorgeous all in one printed for Lilli... (prinzessin = princess)

and he got this hat printed too with the same print....
