Ups and downs

Josh got diagnosed with Dyspraxia on Wednesday. It had been on the cards for sometime but still a shock to be told 'officially' and to be honest, it's still sinking in. Not sure what the future holds.

Where does the time go?

Cannot believe that it is nearly July already and I've not posted on Blogger at all. As they say 'use it or lose it' so here I am. Not going to make a big song and dance about being back I'll just see where the journey takes me!



In the meantime, here is a pic of our new Puppy, Ruby and Abi!

Tis The Season To Be Jolly

Well, no excuses for not posting. We have been busy, but it's nearly 3 months ago!What's happened? We've been on holiday (Centreparcs again!), had the house decorated, new carpets and now we are getting ready for Christmas.

Josh had his nativity play yesterday. He was 'a Traveller' and had the great line 'Do you have a room?' which he said well!

We are off to The West Midlands Safari Park on Christmas Eve to see Santa, and I'm sure we'll update more then.

Catching Up

Jerry came back from China and we've all just been really busy! Josh has survived being in school full-time, although I do get asked 'Is is school today?' quite a lot. Abi is loving pleasurable and has made quite an entrance I think. They tell me she never stays still for long - even by toddler standards she is into everything. Tell me something I didn't know!

Hannah starts Uni on Monday and she and Tom (her boyfriend) visited us over the weekend. Josh was overjoyed as he was able to get Tom to play Sega with him on the X-Box. Worryingly, Josh seems to be really good at it.

We went to Amerton Farm again this morning and it was excellent, the children had the whole playbarn to themselves for the first 3/4 hour. Forgot my camera so here is a (not very good) photo from my phone.



You may notice the address has changed, I just realised that if you search our surname, the blog was the first page that came up on Blogger - and well, you can't be sure who's looking can you?!

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Jay had just gone to China for a week. We've been really lucky and he hasn't been there for a year, but it seems really weird not having him around, I'm not going to be able to phone him for 24 hours! The kids are OK, not sure they really understand. Jay went golfing a couple if days ago and when he got back Josh asked if he'd been to China, he'd only been gone a few hours! I think that may be because Josh is expecting a pressie when his Dad gets back though! Abi is oblivious at the moment, but I know she'll miss him soon.

Josh enjoyed his first few days at school. I had a school dinner with him on Thursday which was yummy, but Josh wasn't impressed. He is so fussy, I am just going to make him sandwiches. He is stopping for lunch this week, then is full time the week after. Abi starts Playgroup tomorrow, I reckon she'll love it as much as Josh did. I imagine I'll be tidying the house up as I haven't had both of them out the house at once for months!!!

We took the kids to Drayton Manor on Friday afternoon. Josh finished at 12 noon, and we were there by 12.45pm so we had a good few hours there. It was empty so we got to go on loads of things! No photo's today though, sorry!

School!



A couple of weeks ago I was posting about how Abi wasn't a baby anymore and today I'm posting about Josh starting Reception Class at school. He is cool, calm and collected about it, he's just excited about seeing all his friends again. I, on the other hand, am an emotional wreck. I've been fine till today, but getting him dressed into his school uniform has just made it all come to the front, I just hope I can keep it together in the playground!

Here are some photo's from when we went to a place called Wonderland at Telford over the weekend. It's a park especially for younger children with an enchanted woods theme, with fairy tale characters and houses for them to discover.


On Sunday, Josh was taken to Warwick Castle by his Dad because he'd been a good boy and reached Number 10 on his Up/Down reward chart (a la Super Nanny!).

Ouch!


Abi ran into Josh's door. He denies any involvement!
