Abi the Snowman

purplebint — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 14:26:40 +0000

Abigail’s playgroup put on a little bit of nativity inspired singing for the parents today. It was lovely to see her all dressed up and enjoying the attention. She wasn’t best pleased at her solo bit but was happy singing along and playing her jingle bells with the others. I’m going to watch her do it all again tomorrow, although she’s decided she’d rather be Santa than a snowman…could be fun

Time is fleeting…

The days are rushing by so quickly that I barely seem to manage to keep up. Abi is now at playgroup 4 mornings a week, and is registered to start at school next September, Toby is a walking (running), talking giggle machine and life is a chaotic rush from one minute to the next. It’s fab

Quick photo updates. Clicking on the slideshows will take you through to my flickr account if you want to see the photos in more detail. (I’ve just had an early birthday present of a Canon 1000D DSLR so expect even more photos…if that’s possible, heh)

Out at the One Leicester festival, supporting Hope Not Hate and protesting against the EDL marches the day before.

Going out for a birthday dinner to celebrate my very lovely sister’s birthday

Visiting my wonderful foster parents in the very beautiful Forest of Dean.

Happy Birthday Abi

Happy 3rd birthday to my wonderful, beautiful Abi

As her birthday was on a Tuesday, Abi ended up with several little birthday celebrations with different family members. We’ve had big dinners, rainbow cakes,day at the zoo, hiking up hills and through woods to find the gruffalo and lots and lots of presents. She thoroughly enjoyed all of the attention and it’s going to take a bit of persuading to explain that she can’t have lots of birthdays every week

Here’s the photo stream of our photos over the last week

Thank you to everyone who helped make my daughter’s day (s) special

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/

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.

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.

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

Early Days

purplebint — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:49:02 +0000

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.
