I'm Dreamin' of a Welsh Christmas

We have just come back from an amazing weekend where we have all been spoilt rotten in the Rhondda. Thomas has loads of pressies and we had a greeat time, thanks Grandma, Grancha, Great Grandma, Aunty Mavis and Ruth. X x X Nadolig Llawen X x X

Thomas laughing

Here is a cute little video of thomas laughing at this quacking duck that El brought over. She had him very amused while I was trying to tutor in the kitchen. We are back from SA now but looking forward to having an early Xmas celebration with Dan's parents in wales on the weekend then Thomas and I are off to NY the following weekend. Dan joins us a week later. Jen x

SA

Well unfortunately Thomas has fluid in his ears so the doc did not think we should fly so we are still in SA. I've attached some pics. One of Thomas enjoying his first tastes of butternut and one of Susan and I sprinkling our dogs and cats ashes from the last 20 years in a nearby river. We finally got around to doing it. Hopefully back in the UK on Friday. Jen x

Pics in SA

Thomas and I have been having a great time in SA. It has been good to catch up with family and friends again. Here are some pics of our gorgeous boy. I am so biased it is ridiculous but I suppose as Thomas's mom I am allowed to be. Thomas sends big hugs and kisses to his dad who is at home earning the money. xxx

Thomas Playing

This is a noisy Thomas...with Jen playing with him. Enjoy......

Wedding Album

We have got the wedding album from Kev. Anyone wanting to have a look or maye even buy an image go to his website which he has uploaded them to http://www.kf.swcl.net the password is needed and this can be obtained from us.....drop us and email or give us a call.

Anyway here are some, not all, of the pages from the album and photos for you to see how they look in our album.

We love it, and hope you like looking at the story of the day too...the flash you see is from my camera and not on the originals.

Go the boks and happy halloween

Well this is probably a bit belated, not sure where the last couple of weeks have gone. We went to the hockey club to watch the rugby and did not receive a warm welcome on our arrival. I took El, her mom and aunt with me so that I had some fellow springbok supporters. Thank god as were the the only ones there. Anyway needless to say we had the last laugh and enjoyed every bit the boks taking the trophy off the English.

Thomas and I are off to SA on Monday for three weeks. We're looking forward to a bit of sunshine and Susan's and Charlie's wedding. Thomas is doing well and enjoyed wearing his first halloween outfit. He even went to sleep in his skeleton babygro - unfortunately no pic of that one. He's has become very vocal in the last few days and is constantly exploring his high pitched shrill of a voice. I think he's trying utilize those welsh roots and practice his singing. Little does he know that I'll have a hockey stick or rugby ball in his hands before he can sing.

Oh please excuse the covering of Thomas's bits but I edited the pic slightly on paint shop pro and covered him with confetti as I didn't really want his bits all over the internet.

Lots of love, Jen x

World Cup...

What a weekend, still think my SA bet is safe but who knows eh? England France will be a good one though

Thomas playing the piano

Dan is trying to get Thomas working on his musical ability already. Our poor kid has got no chance cos I'm already making swim underwater and his dad is pushing him to music. Anyway this is Thomas's version of silent night - an early Christmas wish to you all.

Dan's Graduation

Ok here are the photos from Friday of my MSc graduation ceremony at the barbican centre in central London and Thomas' first trip to London at the same time. Tower bridge in the background. We were on London Bridge at the time, and for the youngsters out there it is NOT falling down. Also he is in Nick Foney's baby gro after he shat all over his graduation clothes as I did not put his nappy on properly...doh!
