Old days

When you have kids everyone says the time will pass quickly and you'll blink and they'll be grown up...and you say "yes, yes" not quite believing it. Then it happens.

holidays part 1

Ruby the gourmet enjoying some new French foods (quite a feat for someone whose favourite food is a butter sandwich!)

hide and seek in Cadouin

Noah is such a great traveller - he is either staring out the car window ("in the zone") or catching flies as in the above photo.

Tessa and Maurice, our gentle friends at our Dordogne camp site

Noah enjoying his first Chichi in Domme, which kind of made up for the fact the fireworks were rained off

Hi Ken, its Ruby

Ruby couldn't wait to speak to her new best friend Ken when we got home!

Ruby Wedding weekend

Had an amazing weekend in Cornwall to celebrate Mike and Sheila's Ruby wedding anniversary. Huge party, lots of playing. Great to see Barb and Ken again too!

Walk to the gorgeous beach today - tide was coming in so we had a good scramble over the rocks, watching the surfers canoists and kayakers. We love the beach :))

Magical Garden

Helped create a magical garden today out of recycled materials.

World Book Day

Happy St Davids Day

Aunty Jean visits

Had a great weekend with child-magnet Aunty Jean, Uncles Mike, James and Ed and little Ruwen. Walks to the beach, scooting and ice-cream were the order of the day.

Silly faces part 12

Another of my attempts at getting nice photos turned into a gurning competition!

Legolegolego

Noah's lego obsession keeps going. Lots of lego for Christmas has kept him occupied for hours.

Disney

Pics from our visit to Disneyland in November. Had a magical time, 3 days of mental, freezing cold, surreal fun, chasing Disney characters, going on crazy rides. I was in bed at 8 every night!

Thanks to Round Table Childrens wish for making Rubys wishes come true.

Children in Need

Noah and Ruby joined in the national fundraising efforts by dressing up as spotty as possible. By the end of the day they were also children in need - of a good wash.

Ben 10

Noah draws aliens every day -it's an obsession!

Happy Halloweeeeeen!

Did a little trick or treating, asking for money not sweets (though we got plenty of those too!). Raised £18 for LATCH
