NEW BABY EXPECTED

Sarah and Barry are expecting their second baby and everyone is really pleased. Jake is also pleased, and tells us it is going to be very tiny and can only play with baby toys.



Every thing is going well and Sarah looks a picture of health. The baby is very active and seems to kick a lot.

This is the 21 week scan pictures.

Barry and Sarah Engaged

Patrick and I were delighted and pleased to hear that Barry and Sarah had got engaged. Very romantic that it should be on 14th February.







This is a picture of Sarah's ring it is very lovely.

Geocaching Again

We have been trying to get out since Christmas to do some more caching. So last Friday we went to an event cache called Sitting Arround Talking about Geocaching. We met some very interesting people and it was great to put faces to names we see in the logs.

We tried to leave our TB here that I brought back from the USA but is was just too wet so it got logged in and out again and on to the next location.

Although everywhere was very wet we found this lovely church in a field and this is where we left our Travel Bug hope he enjoys going arround the UK.

Unfortunately Patrick and I have suffered from one cold after the other so this poor post remained as a draft feeling better today so thought I had better post it.

January was very wet

January has not been a great month although I did manage two trips to Bristol to see Jake and of course Barry and Sarah.

Siew Gin and Tyler have been to vist her parents and family in Malaysia for two weeks and I have been following their adventures on their blog. Alan has been working in China for the same two weeks he seems to have managed to do some sight seeing. They are all home now Siew Gin and Alan back to work and Tyler at daycare.

Barry and Sarah are expecting another baby 1st July and they are making great strides with the new house extension. They hope to get it finished before the new baby comes.


New extention, they have bricked up the patio door so Jake cannot see out now, but I think he is enjoying all the building works.

View from the bedroom window.

Patrick and I are busy building in new fitted wardrobes in our bedroom, and we are redecorating, new carpet and new furniture. Quite a difficult task with a water bed.

Patrick has some time off this month so we will hope to have it all finished during that time, it should be fun getting all the water out of the bed, I expect there are quite a few gallons in there.

Sarah' s New Hair Style

Sarah had her hair restyled this is the first time I have seen her with straight hair, she looked lovely and Barry and Jake thought so too.

Couldn't decide which photo was best so put on two.

Now it's time for the grown ups

Trying to clear away some of the wrapping paper and make sure we have not missed any vitial parts.

More clearing up it takes longer to wrap presents than it does to open them

What has Mummy got?

We all had a great day and it was really lovely to see Alan, Siew Gin and Tyler on the web cam enjoying their chistmas, unfortunately Jake had gone to bed so he missed seeing Tyler.

Tyler looked lovely in his father christmas outfit and he has grown since I have come home cannot wait to see him again in the new year. Pictures of his christmas on the link to Alan and Siew Gin.

Jake thinks Father Christmas Has Been

Jake was very good he had his breakfast first and then could not wait to open up his presents, his face was a picture, you will note he did not stop to get dressed.

As you can see he didn't need help this year opening the presents.

He loved his special cup a present from Aunty Siew Gin, Uncle Alan and Tyler

While I was visting Alan and Siew Gin I ordered this special Dora book with pictures of Jake inside to start with he could not make out how he got in the storey especially when it mentioned his birthday and where he lives. Sarah says it a long story and he enjoys her reading it to him.
