Sunday 29: We took advantage of the fabulous weather and went down to Winkworth Arboretum, both to see the changing colour of the trees and have a picnic. Notable moments of the day for Milo were seeing the geese and eating cheese sandwiches.....while we took in the beautiful views of the trees (although I have to admit my highlight was climbing the hill back up to the toilets - what an exciting life I lead right now!). Notable annoying point for me was the lady in the loos who decided it was okay to pat my bump as she asked when I am due - why is it complete strangers think they can do that just because you are pregnant?!

Friday 27/Saturday28: Liz and Pete (Gran and Grandpa) came to stay, which gave us the chance to spend Pete's birthday with him. We had a lovely time just catching up, eating and playing both at home and in the park. Milo has a particualr soft spot for Grandpa and kept asking for him once they had gone. Great to see you both, thank you for coming over.

Our recent visit to Cornwall gave us the chance to catch up with Mum, Chris, Loz and Max (thanks for your hospitality!). We had a lovely time playing with the kids, visiting friends and spending time with family.
Max has turned into a little boy since we last saw him; he had his first birthday while we were down there. Milo spent most of his time trying to steal Max's birthday presents, the favourite being a brand new wooden trike. Poor Max must have been quite relieved when we left!
Hopefully it won't be too long before we see everyone again, although it is likely to be once we have a new addition......

This is so humiliating, do mum and dad really have to dress me up?

After seeing a couple of blog spots friends have set up to keep family & friends in touch, we thought we ought to do the same for our globally distributed family! We intend to keep this site updated with little milestones and bits and pieces relating to our family: Steve, Kate, Milo and the ever increasing bump. We hope you use and enjoy it.
