neglectful I am.. and very sorry :(
Ok.. quick catch up before I round up the year later with a new year's post..
Well, the last time I posted was just after my good friend Christine passed away, it was hard actually.. I struggled quite a lot with that, the first funeral I've been to since my Dad's and that was tough too.. I miss them both deeply. Bless them.
Unfortunately Christine's funeral was on Jake's birthday which put a wee bit of a dampener on it in one respect but also ensured there wasn't anytime for any wallowing or self pitying as there was a party to do followed by Halloween and various other things such as Bonfire night at Grandma's which was GREAT fun!.
November was panic stations as the big brother's lung collapsed and he spent many weeks in hospital trying to get better and recovering from an operation that left him with a scar that has convinced the children he was in fact, bitten by a bloody big shark.. he assures me though, that he hasn't been swimming off the south coast anywhere lately and judging by his inability to breathe properly at the moment I'm inclined to believe him ;)
In other news there have been babies born..I have a new niece!! Her name is Livvi and she's cute and looks like my Nan! wtf is that all about.. why do babies always look like yer Nan? its weird o_O..
Moving on...to more babies..in the last week, Jessica has welcomed her much longed for baby son Beau and Vicki a lovely daughter Sophie and they're both absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait for cuddles.. from the babies, not Jess and Vicki although I'm sure they'll get congratulatory huggles too ;)
and of course we've had Xmas..with presents aplenty and the obligatory kitchen appliance from my husband which came in the form of a pink chocolate fountain!!! better than a slow cooker but unfortunately.. it didnt come with chocolate and so hasn't been used yet...lol.
ok.. enough of my babbling... have some pics. Afraid I cant add any pics of the babies as they're not mine and its not fair or responsible of me to post without asking... so tough...lol
