Half Term

Well, the long awaited break has been and is nearly gone, it has been great. We have been very busy, I feel that I have made up for January of which I spent most of it in bed with flu and other viruses. We have been to North Wales, Eureka and Chester Zoo! Now we are back to our zoos on Monday! Enjoy the pictures.

No Tube

Don't get excited.... it is going back in as soon as the community nurse arrives. Joel pulled it out overnight. For now we get to see his cute round face! He is now 10lb 3 oz. we see the paediatrician and dietitian on Thursday. Yesterday he had blood taken and his RSV jab.

As promised the marshmallow tasting from Bonfire Night.

Eating apple crumble and drinking hot chocolate. (that's the life!)

Bin raiding

I was walking through Didsbury village yesterday afternoon when I saw this pink wheelbarrow sticking out of the top. I would like to label my act of bin raiding as recycling - I am not too sure. :)

Needless to say it has provided hours of fun so far and hopefully we will train Emily to sweep all the leaves off our grass by next Autumn. (P.S. she really uses the word 'again' a little too often!)

End of summer project and fun with Granny and Granda

Well it is the end of the summer holidays and my parents came to visit us for a few days before they head off to Alaska and Seattle to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary (last year) and my mum's 50th birthday and we go back to work. Whilst they were here they helped us with our end of summer project. We play barked our side garden and with the generous donation from Emily's Uncle Delwyn and the joy of a Toy R Us sale we bought a climbing frame, sandpit and trampet for our play area. It is very big and probably a little too big for our small side garden but we are living in hope that one day soon our little house will sell. We have even got the outdoor suit (thanks Cath, Rob, Alice and Millie,) for Emily to wear through the winter. (maybe we will need one too!) So I have included some piccies of the new play area and of the fun times Emily had with her Granny and Granda.
