A Very Busy Month

It’s been a very busy summer. Ivy has learnt to crawl and has two teeth; Violet is making lots of noise and has learnt how to take off her own nappy; and we’ve all moved to a lovely new house. Thanks to all our friends who’ve been patiently helping us shift all our stuff and collect furniture etc etc etc. We’re just about settled in now and it’s great to have more space to make mess.

I’ll try to post more frequently in the next few weeks…

This was the first time Ivy pulled herself up to standing.

Isn’t that a pip!

On the move…

Hello New Home

Mess.

Strangers from across the ocean

Very strange indeed.

The new playpen. It’s truly wonderful.

Look at that. Ivy has eaten all the Sudocrem.

Being the birth & death day of old Bill,

I shallst relate in pentametric verse:

Violet and Ivy were weighed on Tuesday:
Eleven pounds and eight the latter was,
the former nine and seven, catching up.
But they’re not the only ones getting big.
Their parents have of late been growing too,
indulging in a stream of cho co late;

(‘if chocolate be the food of love, eat on’)
paddling in a flowing river of cake;
swimming in a resevoir of biscuit;
diving the depths of an ocean of cheese;
cruising the seas of awful metaphor.
and so on and so forth et-cetera.

Please forgive th’unsubtle lack of rhyme,

I would have tried but for a lack of t…

Happy Easter everybody!

Ivy and Violet went to meet their beautiful new baby Auntie yesterday.

Eva Pascale Kennedy was born in the early hours of Maundy Thursday.  At a hefty 7 pounds and 5, she looked surprisingly tiny next to her ever growing nieces but I have a feeling she’ll catch up in no time.  Congratulations Nana, Granddad, Rosemary, Jonah, Rory, Phelim and Gabriel:  another beautiful girl in a beautiful family.

Enjoy the 50 days of Easter Feasting,

Lots of love,

Ivy, Violet, Ailsa & James
