New boots

Here we are with our new boots on. So to recap - New winter shoes: check. New slippers: check. New boots: check. Eat your heart out Imelda - no wonder we look so happy!

The old "up the jumper" trick again

We really liked this as babies, and you can see Lily still likes it!

We had a lovely visit from and dinner with Matt and Char - we had forks AND knives! And we made Char do EVERYTHING with us INCLUDING get up and down and up and down and up and down from the floor, despite her beautifully growing bump. 26 April 2011.
