So, September Done and Dusted

The brothers Fisher reading

It's long overdue - but here are a few shots of our holiday. We were so incredibly lucky with the weather. It was beautiful, hot and sunny most of the week. The house we rented for the week to, was just lovely and had everything that we needed. The boys had a ball - and we had a good time, but Robin and I realised that holidays for us do not involve relaxing with a book on the beach in the sun or getting some time out. No, no - it's just the same work in a different location :) That said though we did enjoy it alot.

Hopefully one will have Tiger Wood talent

Love the sunshine and the sea

The Lake where we stayed

Scuba Ben


Can you believe that's the Irish coast in September !

Ben decided pants worked better on his head - he thought it was hilarious


The beach was a big hit!

Sammie's Party

We had a lovely day today, celebrating our friend Sammies 4th Birthday... The kids had a blast - and I must say, I'm enjoying that they are so much more independant and go off and play.

My Baby Rocks!

Literally - Look :) (quality isnt great as it was from my phone...)

Rachels day got just a bit to long and she didn't last until bed

Playing nicely together

Loving the play center

At the park

Do you think she likes swinging... ??


I can't believe that it's been almost a month since I posted last - so much has happened and changed in that time! Rachel is on solids now and nothing seems to be holding her back... She's putting her two teeth to good use and likes nothing better than a bit of toast or mellon to knaw on. She's also crawling backwards now (officially as of this morning) properly on her hands and knees and since she was only six months on Tuesday I think that's good going... Among the big decisions we decided that we aren't moving in the end anyway... It all got a bit to much for us and when I realised that it was going to take me a good four hours commuting everyday to work I got cold feet and bob and I decided to call it off. I must be honest the on again/off again process has left me a bit flat.... But I know that this is the best decision for us... The other aspect that was weighing on my mind with the move was that the boys would be out of the school catchment area for the school we've chosen for them (although we only find out in December as to whether or not we've gotten in to the school or not!)... The upside is that I don't have to pack boxes, but the idea of the move has inspired a "Clean House" clean out and I am working towards a car boot sale to clear out our clutter...
