Caitlyn learns to walk

Here's a little video of Caitlyn's latest milestone.

At the beach

Here are a few photos at the beaches we visited this summer.

"Look we caught something!", exclaimed Alannah. "AHHH! It's a crab!!!"

Happy Birthday Alannah! (5yrs)

We celebrated Alannah's birthday while on holiday at a caravan park in Tenby, Wales. After a hedgehog party it was off to the club for some twirly-light dancing!

Happy 4th July!

Rub-a-dub-dub

Sometimes a bath is too much, but a sponge is not enough. So...

Happy Birthday Caitlyn!

Today was Caitlyn's 1st birthday. A day to remember what was happening this time last year and to celebrate our beautiful child. We had a family day out today, first to an indoor play centre which Alannah and Charlie also enjoyed and then off to some picturesque gardens for birthday cake - made, of course, by Jane.

Here's a few photos and a little video.

Happy Birthday Charlie!

Charlie turned 3 years old and we celebrated with an airplane party. Ever since visiting the States last November Charlie has been fascinated with airplanes and airports - particularly the "wachine", otherwise known as the security machine for baggage, which he can now play with his Playmobil airport.

As usual, Jane gave it her all in putting on a great party which included learning a new skill - making balloon airplanes - and making an aiplane cake. Below are a couple of videos from the day. The first one is a rendition of the birthday song in the lowest key you have ever heard and the second video has Charlie showing off his new bike.

Making a Splash

We recently took a short break at Center Parcs. It was lots of fun and the kids are still talking about it a few weeks on. Princess party, teddy bear picnic, exploring in the woods and, of course, swimming in the sub-tropical paradise pool. No doubt we'll go back again sometime.

Here's a few photos:

Happy St Patrick's Day!
