October 2007

Letitia, Garth & Flynn came from Australia to visit us. They stayed for a few days before moving on to see other "rellies" and friends around the UK and Germany.


We had a busy few days visiting the Severn Valley Railway, Bewdley, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, The Nature Centre, Stratford-Upon-Avon and Warwick Castle.

September 2007

What a busy month! Apart from all the events detailed below, Charlie got his first tooth and his first passport (using this photo) and we took the sides off Oliver's cot so he now sleeps in a "big boys bed".

Christening

Today was Charlie, Oliver & Harvey's Christening at All Saints Church, Kings Heath.

Thanks to Linda for the cake and Lisa, Garry, Alex & Harriet for the photos.

Monkey Forest

Today we went to Monkey Forest with Hannah, Oscar, Gaz, TJ, Alan & Amanda.

It rained while we were there

Thanks to Alan for some nice pictures.






Hannah bought Oliver a "Monkey Stick" toy...

Some New Photos

We recently had some pictures taken of the boys in Mothercare. We were approached in the shop by a woman from PixieFoto who said they'd had a cancellation and that if we would like to fill the spot we could have the photo session and one free picture for £5. It's a clever ploy, because they know you're going to fall in love with the other pictures and the 5 additional photos ended up costing us £100!!!

Harvey's 2nd Birthday

Today was cousin Harv's 2nd birthday. We all went to London and visited the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs...

...and then to the Science Museum to see Bob The Builder Live.

A Day Out With Thomas

Today we all went on a Day Out With Thomas on the Severn Valley Railway with Aunty Weez & Harv.
