Mason Family

This is a fantastic website where you can recycle/swap books.

Each book you send gets a credit, each credit means you can request a book.

Here’s the beginning of my to swap list, more to come when children are asleep

Swap books at BookMooch.com

I list on Green Metropolis too, if you’d rather have cold hard cash rather than warm fuzzy credits.

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.

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.

Pics and Vids of Saturday

And some photos of Toby with his custom made Comfortag blanket.

Well, we’re just about getting used to being a family of four now. Toby’s made himself at home and is settled to sleeping in his own cot and room. Abi adores her little brother and is busy planning what treats she wants for her birthday.  I can’t believe she’s going to be 2 in 13 days, time has flown.

Here are some more vids and photos from the last few weeks. There are some videos on the youtube/video tab as well.

Toby was born on Friday 26th June @ 12:27pm weighing 8lb 9oz.

Mother and Baby both doing well although kept in overnight for observation.

I’m a very proud father of 2 today
