Emily's first walk through Burnage

Yesterday we decided to take things easy and go for a walk in our neighbourhood. We also got to try out the pram on the pavements instead of the glossy floors of soul-less supermarkets! We had lots of fun trying to attach the parasol, position it in the right place to avoid blinding our daughter by the sun and avoid the pot holes. (Note: I became aware today that it must be very difficult for wheel chair users when people park on the pavements and when the pavements are in poor condition! ) Another thing I have noticed is that Jamie now walks at 3 mph. He seems to be so engrossed in watching Emily that he danders along at a slow pace. I am not complaining, it is just an observation of how life has changed. He also tells me that he now drives slower and more cautiously and resists the temptation to 'nip and tuck' between traffic. I wonder how long that will last ~ but he always has been a safe driver!


We also enjoyed a visit from Lucy, my great freind from university. Emily had a really settled visit with her (usually she is slightly grouchy in the eveinings) 'Lucy, you must have the special touch.'
All in all another good day.


For all you people who normally read our blog and who aren't interested in baby stuff, I apologise. I realise this has turned into a baby splurge, however family and freinds who don't see us or live near want it this way. I want to reassure everyone that we are still aware that life is going on out there!
