Though I am obviously taking lots of pictures of my baby girl, I think I need to not let them take over my blog and I can always take more. So, although I had a few of my little angel, I present here a vase of flowers that my lovely friend Sarah gave to us […]

Today Alexei had a taster of big school; he was SO EXCITED – can you tell? He can’t wait to go back, and to think we have a long summer ahead before he starts properly. Luckily, meanwhile, he has a new sister to distract him.

So day 319 saw the arrival of our baby daughter – a bit of a surprise after three boys, but then again perhaps not so much as I did have a feeling and she came early! She is obviously going to shake things up around here. The boys are smitten, as are we. (Glad I […]
