2 Little cowboys and the petting zoo

2008-04-10T03:04:00.004+01:00

Jenn, Caleb, Jonah and I went to the petty zoo. We fed the animals, some were more polite that others(one camel inparticular should be ashamed of itself-snatching off a pregnant lady's just not on) There was lots of animals, cute play areas,train rides, but the high light for me was seeing our 2 little cowboys proudly riding the pony.

Today we celebrate the resurection of our Lord and Saviour. The day began with a truly beautiful Sun rise service, followed by a very yummy breakfast at Tom and Sherry's. Where the kids all enjoyed an Easter egg hunt.

Thanks Jenn and Caleb for our fun day out

2008-03-21T19:13:00.003Z

Jonah, Sam and I joined Jenn and Caleb on a trip to the CMEE. We had a great time. Jonah loved running around, especially up and down the ramp and stairs -who needs gym membership with a toddler around. The realistic toy ice cream seemed to make us all hungry and Friendly's provided a lovely end to a lovely day. Thanks Jenn and Caleb. More

Happy Birthday Liss

Thank you everyone for making Jonah's birthday special. We'd like to say an extra big thank you to Aunt Liss who put so much work into the party. Jonah had a great few birthday days!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jonah

2008-03-07T04:42:00.004Z

Yes today(6th March) is my not so little Jonah's 2nd Birthday. Although he loved all his presents and having his cousins help him open and play with them I still think I was more excited than him. Phoebe and Micah probably came a close second to me on the excitement- which was really sweet.

Jonah my honey bunny I love you so much. I'm really looking forward to watching you grow up into the awesome man I know you're going to be, but I also love how much fun you're to be around now. So take you're time and lets just make the most of laughing at Buzz flying around the house, snuggling up to read stories, the cute way you say things like peanutbutter, Jonah the Wiggle, you wanting me to kiss your boo-boos and all the hugs, kisses and I love yous we have everyday.

Today is Jonah's cousin Lou-Andrea's 4th Birthday

Babies...what babies

2007-09-28T02:29:00.000+01:00

Jonah and Seth went together to get their hair cut. While Seth seemed at ease with this Jonah wasn't so sure. He tried to be brave(aided my a binkie, a toy phone, a toy dog and his mummy-all of which he clung to for dear life). The water spray, the scissors, the clippers were just about tolerable, but the hair dryer was the last straw and he could fight back the tears no longer. At least I think that's what is was, it could have been he(like his mummy) just missed his curls.

My loving Dad

2007-05-31T14:30:00.000+01:00

My Dear Dad, lost his fight against lung cancer last monday and we lost our Dad, husband granddad and friend.

There are no words that can express how great a loss we feel. However we are comforted by all that he brought to our lives.

Dad was a man with a mission, to bring friendship, joy and laughter to all he met. He always had a kind word and was eager to help others. My Dad loved us, this we can be sure of as he never tired of telling us or the rest of the world that he did and how proud he was to be happilly married to his beautiful wife,or of his Liss and her wonderful family, or of Rafe who was so strong and handsome(like my Dad) and of me with my nursing. He was also very proud of his 6 grandchildren, doing duck voices for Jonah and I'd often forget how far away Liss lived when he retold funny stories about what her fabulous 5 had been up to.

Please excuse me for writing so much, I just want to say we love and miss you Dad. x

This has been a busy week for Jonah. Marius and Jonah went to France on wednesday and thursday(while I worked) to see Mamie Sabine and Pepe Louis. Then he spent saturday with Papa, Grandma Anne and Great Aunt Sally. This was while I visited my Dad in hospital. Who was in great spirits and even with my fake tan was far browner than I.
