Breakfast on the North Sea! Wearing their "Are We Nearly There?" T-shirts (Jessica also has one!).

20th August

Bye bye North Shields and Tynemouth! We're off on a trip :) 

19th August

Jessica's had her hair cut! It's still wet so not so many curls but she loves it!

18th August

Jessica learnt all about 'Things That Change' today! She made gloop, play doh, volcanoes and bubble pictures. All great fun & messy!

George, Jessica and Maisie investigating the newly refurbished Northumberland Park! Oliver and Benjamin were also there but they were in the pram and being carried at this point.

Babycino with Daddy at Pret!

Jessica sound asleep tonight alongside The Snowman, her nursery rhyme book and the box which her 'baby' sleeps in! (The green hue is the case on my phone!)

Mummy, Granny and Auntie Steph living it up in Newcastle at Helen's Hen Do! This photograph was taken before we all(!!) went clubbing! 

13th August

Jessica met a lot of the Disney Princesses today in Whitley Bay's mobile blow up Dome. Not certain she completely understood it all but she, and her friend (dressed as Elsa) enjoyed themselves! 

12th August

"Mummy, I bumped my head when I fell off my bouncy horse and I've now got a lump like a golf ball on my forehead!"

11th August

Jessica (pink helmet and striped top) enjoying the skate park in Whitley Bay!

10th August

Maisie, Jessica and George giggling after swimming!

9th August

Uh-oh look where Oliver ended up again today! His breathing deteriorated again so the Dr asked us to go in for another shot of steroids and a period of observation. Hopefully on the mend now!

8th August

Breakfast courtesy of the NHS after Oliver spent the night on the Children's ward at the RVI suffering from severe croup (after 2 nebulisers and a dose of steroids he was allowed home). Despite 2 hours sleep, he was surprisingly perky!

7th August

Maisie, Jessica and Oliver with Uncle Simon and Benjamin supervising dinner at Barrassford Cub Camp!

Jessica and Maisie playing on Granny's office floor this morning. Plenty of space and toys in the hall but they insisted on being here!

Daddy and Maisie looking at radiator options for our new extension (not built yet!).

"What's over here, Mummy? It must be good because Jessica and George are peering over but I'm too short!"

1st August

We had a quiet day at home today including a game of Hide & Seek. Maisie's hiding place? Behind our shoe rack in our under stair cupboard!
