The Adlards

Well, the time has come for the Adlards to leave these shores and return whence they came [albeit with a couple of extra Adlards and a lot more stuff], we said our farewells as they pack for the return to SA next Tuesday... Sophie, Josie and Elspeth enjoyed themselves. The car sunroof pic is the only way James and I could think of keeping an eye on the two older girls as we loaded up with things for the charity shop drop...

Sarah's belly dancing

Sarah starts belly dancing classes tonight, not quite sure she has the stomach for it.....

The Chairs - one for Michelle xx

Following on from the chair story.... the old chairs from the well known national retailer initials "FV" which appear to disintegrate the moment they are 4 years old... well when we went to see the Adlards in August they kindly donated their old chairs, which with some Dylon, now have a new lease of life...

Jemima shuffle

not a crawl, more like the butterfly on land without the arms - head down and push with the feet. At some rate, Jemima can do the length of the cot in about a minute... I dread the speed when she has the strength in her arms to propel herself and maintain some rudimentary direction.
