Out with Daddy

 Off on a little ramble with Daddy

Stopping for a picnic on route

Busy Days

We have had lots of busy days, running, climbing, eating, kissing over the kissing gate (that took a while with everyone having to do a kiss!) I managed a few posed photos like the bottom one here...you want to know how? Well I have in my camara case some 'photo sweeties' and if we all sit nicely without pulling any silly faces and manage not to wriggle, then we get a chocolate button each!

Grandsons

My daughter, SIL and grandsons are on their way back to South Africa, we had a great time with the boys staying, their mum & dad arrived back from USA this morning and then they all flew out to SA this evening...they will be tired. We had a trip into London and met up with Uncle Ben, visited Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and St James' Park. We arrived home with 2 very tired boys. We also went out to Ivinghoe Beacon one afternoon, took a picnic and the kites. This was a real hit and the Ordnance Survey pillar served as a great place to sit and hold onto the kites, I think Joe could have sat there all day!!

Dedication

Last Sunday was a special day for these two little scrummies....they were dedicated to the Lord. We went down to Devon for a long weekend and Uncle Ben came down with us. Its not often we get these two to sit like this for a photo but Uncle Ben was holding something that they both really wanted!

We had lots of fun on Saturday, out and about

Primrose wasn't sure she liked the smell of the flowers that Uncle Ben bought for Mummy!

Friday evening we went for a stroll on the beach while Grandpa babysat (and watched the football!)

The girls being prayed for during the church service (the big windows didnt help the quality of photos)

After church we went for a picnic with friends. We certainly thank God for these precious two and also for the new little baby to be born in the new year!

Day Out

Tomorrow is my birthday and since my 50th birthday I have tried to extend the celebrations a little longer than the usual day...... so today we went out to Clivedon, a National Trust property in Buckinghamshire. The weather was a little dull and so the photo's dont do it justice, but we had a great time. The view from the house across the Thames and surrounding countryside was amazing. We took a picnic and enjoyed a long walk through the beautiful gardens. The first two photo's are for my grandaughters...Primrose and Magnolia (Maggie).
