Spidergirl

I couldn't not pop in this quick post... Rob spontaneously lifted Rachie and hung her upside down at the door - and she though it was hilarious! She couldn't get enough :) So now we've dubbed her Spidergirl. Oh, and I didn't believe it but Beer Butt Chicken worked and it's delious... so I had to add that...

The End of my Hiatus

The last few weeks have been a very big adjustment. Returning to work has been wonderful if I'm honest, but I definately feel like I'm juggling and all the balls are up in the air all the time, and I can drop them at any moment. Jennifer, our child minder is working out really well and the kids are happy and adjusting well. My main aim was that their routine wouldn't be altered other than me not being there and in that respect I think I've succeeded.

The return to work co-incided with quite a few other things happening in our life. We've had serious problems with the tenants in our house in Lusk, our car finally died (pity I was in it at the time and had to spend two hours in the freezing cold waiting for a tow), I tried to cycle to the tram into work, on probably the coldest morning we had and the bike slipped from under me. Thank goodness I did wear the trendy helmet Bob bought me in America otherwise I wouldn't have come away from the fall with only a stiff neck. AND apart from Daniel and Robin, we all got a dose of the winter vomiting bug - all of this happened in the second week of work while Robin was away in Helsinki... And those are the reasons for my lack of blogging.

But I'm back now, and I'll be updating you all a lot more often. Here are a few shots of the last month. Enjoy :)
