Lucy - Capital Academy Champion 2011!

Well done to our beautiful girl. Tom and I were jumping up and down and cheering. xxx

X Factor Freaks. Strictly? Schmictly!

Another competition, another prize - but this time in all of Wales!

5th in the vault! Well done, little Luce. And well done Tommy, who sat through a whole morning's competition, before hightailing it to Auntie Wenna's, and well done me who sat through the whole 12 hours!

Happy Birthday Dave ...and happy Children In Need Day Too!

Earned some great Mummy Points this morning with my imaginative take on the spotty theme! Wining and dining Dave today as he reaches a massive 46!

Cardiff Gymastics Competition for 8 and 9 year olds..

Lucy 1st on vault and 3rd on bars - amazing! Well done my little girl. xxxx Welsh Novice competition in a fortnight. And no, she doesn't get this from me!

Whooooooo...Happy Halloween xxx

Lily as Bridesmaid

And it's miracle - a photo of Dave and me where we both look reasonably OK. Had to publish it for that reason alone. Don't know why no photos of Luce - too busy running around outside with her new friend.

Allez les rouges!

Gym buddies

Lucy spends 11 hours a week at gym and Tom has found a group of other football and nintendo playing siblings to hang out with at pick up time.

Uncle Peter and Sherry visiting the new DNA

A year on - same children, different uniform.

Trampolining in the rain

Appy Feet

And then Lucy went climbing while Tom went to Football (no photos of this)

Now they are with Daddy-Sarah for a week and I'm missing them loads, but they're back on Friday. Note to self: stop using Iphone camera instead of excellent camera because it's easier - the photos aren't nearly as good.

....Followed by Douelle 2011.....

Next - a visit from the Lovatts and an early Pizza Express birthday celebration

Summer update - First we went camping in a wet west Wales

Team A's first camping trip of 2011
