More martha!

Its been fun watching the little rosebud unfurl...5 1/2 weeks little martha is becoming much more awake and alert.  she is so strong, and content...such a little cutie! and getting cuter all the time.  I am leaving London on Sunday, so wont get to watch her so closely anymore.  I will miss the snugglely cuddles.

Oscar concentrating very hard as he does the long arm picture snap! our bikes waiting patiently for us while we have a drink.
