Now He's A Teenager - Happy 13th Birthday J

And just like that, my son is officially a teenager. Boy, those thirteen years sure flew by quickly!

Our Gorgeous Girl Turns Eight

Our gorgeous little girl turned eight years old yesterday, she woke full of excitement at 5.30 am and after eventually settling for a couple more hours of sleep, she woke to a living room filled with presents, cards, balloons, and decorations galore. As you can imagine she delighted and spent no time at all unwrapping her gifts. We had visits from her Grandparents in the morning, then later in the afternoon, we celebrated by hosting a hot tub party for E and a few of her family and friends. The weather was bizarrely beautiful, the drinks were flowing, the food …
