Running late!

So, here's the little bundle who's making us late these days.


It's particularly difficult to get everyone up and out of bed in the mornings!


Or to get Guy and Ita to leave places on time.

The other day, they were so reluctant to take off their dressing-up clothes, that I ended up doing the school pick up with Spiderman and a witch princess!



Again, apologies for the length of time it takes me to post these days!

Isn't this beautiful?

Isn't this a lovely ad?

Fritilary Picnic

This Thursday, Anastasia organized a walk and picnic for us.
Here are the photos:
We walked out of the back of Magdalen College;




And round to see the deer!
You may have to enlarge this one to get a proper view!
All of us watching the deer!
Smiling children in the April sunshine!

The main reason I have difficulty getting out of bed!

You can disagree with me, but I think there's nothing quite as warm, and cosy, and soft, and lovely as a sleeping baby!

And, Bless her, she sleeps a LOT! I'm sure this will come back round to bite me, but at the moment it's just SO GOOD!

My family and other animals!

Our last Sunday without church!

This was our last Sunday before going back to church (this Sunday is actually 39 days, rather than 40, but I think everyone will be understanding!). So we went to Blenheim Palace for a run-around in the Spring sunshine!
Here's the children's favourite tree:




Then we took the train......



...to the butterfly house!


Fun, huh?
But we're still looking forward to going back to church this Sunday!

This is what our life looks like right now!

Well, Tabby-Kat has made her first trip to IKEA
But most of the time she's still spending asleep.
Here's Guy stroking her hand and head. He is very gentle with her, despite the slightly demonic look on his face!

And he still finds time for his friends!

However, he does find all this change very tiring!

Phoebe has been experimenting with the camera. This is Phoebe's portrait of Daddy,
And of Mummy!

This is Marianna, one of our friends from church.

Who made this beautiful blanket for Tabitha. Isn't it lovely?
