Catch up time

Well, things have been busy so no blogging time. We now have a sold sign outside our house. I would post a picture but it is dark, windy and raining! ( Just another night in Manchester!) With regard to moving, we still have a date of May 2nd; we are waiting to hear from the lady who owns the house to see about repairs that need to be done, so therefore negotiation on the price etc. We have started to pack the study and the attic, but it is difficult to work around Emily and the space we need to live in.

We have enjoyed Lent and are looking forward to Easter Sunday and the joys that that brings in our church. Emily is looking forward to the Easter Bunny, but will be really sad about the Easter Tree (branch from the garden with decorations), leaving our house. Every morning she comes downstairs to check if it's there saying 'tree, tree, tree.' I hope it is not as traumatic as it was when 'Ya Ya' (Santa) went away after Christmas!

Emily is so much fun at the moment. Her speech is massive, usually with words we don't understand but we are getting there with the decoding process. She is also learning to dress or should I say undress herself. This brings up interesting situations when it comes to bedtime. 'Fairy' went to bed the other night!

Judith came to visit before she is too far into her pregnancy to fly. We had a fun time. It is great to know that the next time we see her we will hopefully be meeting our new niece or nephew.
