1 year old today. It’s been an absolute pleasure being your mum.

Happy Birthday Abi

Flickr Fun

purplebint — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:01:55 +0000

I was recently gifted a vintage Zenit TTL SLR camera by a good friend, and as often happens with me it has sparked a bit of an obsession.

Photobucket is becoming more awkward touse due to it’s file restrictions and downtime so I’m starting to use Flickr more and more.

I’ve made a seperate blog post over on blogspot about this but I wanted to share my flickr page over here so that family and friends aren’t missing out on our family photos.

Road Trips

purplebint — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 19:15:05 +0000

Well, this weekend has been busy. Very busy.

We travelled down south to surprise Hubby’s great gran for her 90th birthday and spend some time with my FIL and his partner. It was a 2.5 hour trip according to google (ended up being about 4 hours with service stops) from Leicester to Frome, the first time we’d travelled for that length of time with the sprogs and the first time they have slept in the same room.

We booked the family suite in this lovely place www.breconridgebandb.com . Highly recommended too, great facilities and very friendly. We’ll definitely be making a return visit the next time we’re down South.

The trip went well, the sprogs slept better than I thought but not as well as I’d hoped It was great to see Great Granny May and Abi and Toby fully enjoyed being the centre of attention.

Here are the photos from the weekend – http://s787.photobucket.com/albums/yy154/purplebinty/Great%20Granny%20May/

The days are busy busy busy lately!

Toby is now 4 months old and a fantastic giggling fattybum whilst Abi is a whirling dervish of noise and laughter. Hardly any time to blog, but I’m trying to take photos as we go.

Here’s a quick link to the latest ones that have been uploaded

Dry Days Out :)

Little Miss Abigail is now mostly potty trained, so as a reward for being wonderful we went out to feed the ducks and get a good dose of fresh air at Bradgate Park this morning.

Was a lovely day

Abi’s 2nd Birthday :)

purplebint — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 08:26:10 +0000

Technically she turns 2 today, but we played pretend yesterday…she hasn’t got the hang of reading the calendar yet so I think we got away with it.

It was a wonderful day, one of those days where your heart just aches with pride and love everytime you see her interacting with someone or screaming with joy when she’s playing a new game. *be’s a bit fluffy today*

The day started out fantastically, with a freecycle offer of a garden slide turning out to be from a house just a few doors up the road. Steve nipped out to get it at 8am, and the generous guy helped him carry it home. After a good clean and a minor repair/replacement of bolts it was good as new.

The weather was great, so we pressed ahead with the barbecue and made our usual mountain of food. We’ve got enough leftovers to keep Steve in packed lunches all week

Abi thoroughly enjoyed being centre of attention, seeing Grandparents, family and friends and having a good run about…and lots of cake

A big Thank you to everyone who wished her a happy birthday

Here are the photos and videos.

Trampolining and Taggies

purplebint — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:41:35 +0000

We ventured out on Saturday to visit a friend, our first time out socially as a family. Unless you count Tescos hehe

Abi loved all the attention, and the trampoline! Looks like we know what to put on her birthday list for next year.

Everything’s in place for her birthday next Monday, possibly planning a little BBQ on the Sunday but that depends on the weather, metcheck keeps changing it’s mind

Toby’s a month old already, time is flying by.
