I am four!

"Mama, did u buy the candle?".

"Yes, darling, I did." I said, ,turning around just in time to see a beaming moon-faced son.

Darling son celebrated his fourth birthday two weeks after we 'entered the woods'. Promised him that I will bake a cake for him. But with limited supplies and equipment at home, what can I bake? Hmmm.....

Chocolate Brownies!

It's a ready-mix Brownie pack from the supermarket.

The birthday boy was pleased.

Happy Birthday, my darling son

... Baking with love, from piggymummy .

Into the Woods ...

The wind blew and the trees swayed.

... "Wisha, Wisha"....  

"Welcome to the Woods", they seemed to say ....

An adventure into the unknown. 

A place we will call "HOME" , for the next five years.

 

Trees lined the road as we drove along to our apartment. 

Yes, into the "Woods"!

Our apartment is next to a nature preserve! 

The sun shone brightly. 

The cool breeze brushed across our cheeks as we alighted from the car. 

Playgrounds everywhere. 

Toys.  Bicycles, big and small. 

An unfurnished apartment; a small kitchen. 

Kitchen .. The place where we will be having our meals .. the place where piggymummy will be cooking ... with love.
