Exciting News!


Have you heard the news?  Emily asks.

What news?  Asks Molly.


A new family member is supposed to be arriving!  We haven't had a new family member arrive for over two years!  (The exception of course being Baby Natalie, mentioned in a previous post)

They discuss who it might be while waiting for the travel carriage to arrive.


Ooh look, here it is.  Molly says as she looks intently at the box.

Come on Henry, open it up.  Says Rory.


Henry starts cutting it open.


Carefully does it Henry.  Molly says.


The outer layer off, they start to open the travel box.


They look inside puzzled.


There is another carrier tube inside! Rory says.


Emily looks closely...


Do you think we are getting a sister?  Emily turns to ask Everlee Rose.


I heard the boys were getting a brother.  Everlee Rose tells Emily.


They will outnumber us if we are not careful!  Emily replies.

Rory wonders if he can lift up the tube to help whoever is inside out.

Emily and Henry thinks it is worth a try...


It must have worked as before long Henry is shaking hands and welcoming the new boy.


Everlee Rose and Molly say hello as he turns to them.

They can't wait to learn more about him.


The new boy's arrival photos.



I am sure he is going to fit in really well.

Baby Natalie

In December last year I had an amazing find... a baby Sasha in a charity shop for £1.30!  I couldn't quite believe it and didn't hesitate for a second as you can imagine.  I found her on my wedding anniversary so the timing couldn't have been better either.  I have made her a couple of outfits so far, but thought I would knit her a little romper and bootie set.  I knitted the rompers yesterday and will hopefully find my pattern for the booties today so I can sit and knit them this evening.


I don't knit many things in pink but got this fabulous NZ wool from Whangarei when wool shopping with a dear friend of mine last year.  


Funnily enough the photo colour makes it look more like soft lilacs, but it might just be my monitor or the time of day I took the photo.  I think the colour suits Natalie quite well though and she seems to be happy with the little outfit.

Happy St George's Day

Revisiting a post from 2012!  However the sentiment is just the same! Henry threw himself into the whole  St George's Day celebration to...
