Welcome to the world......

...Noah and Max!! Our beautiful baby boys arrived on Monday 13th April, at 23:21 and 23:44. They weighed 5lb5 and 5lb11. They are just so gorgeous and we are all head over heals in love with them both. Jacob is a very proud and loving big brother, kissing them and calling them 'darling' at every chance. He is also very interested in nappies and their contents!
They are both doing great at 9 days old - Noah has overcome some feeding troubles and they are feeding, sleeping and not much else at the minute. We have had 3 good nights with them...hopefully the start of many! If I didn't have such an awful, itchy rash (reaction to hormones I think) I would be doing great. The rash however is driving me insane but I feel I am coping a little better today. Blogging may take a back seat for a while, or I could be spending a lot of time sat at a computer - who knows?

Run, run, as fast as you can......

After watching his daddy go out running, cheering him on in races etc, Jacob was VERY excited to be entering his first race! It was a local charity fun run - 3/4 mile - which he did with some of his friends and his daddy. He was very proud of his number, which is now up on the wall, and walked/ran almost all the time (except over the brook that had to be crossed several times). He got a goodie bag, medal and whistle for his efforts - proudly shown off here!

Spring Harvest!

More outdoor play in the spring sunshine for us this week. Jacob had great fun throwing grass around which Johnny had neatly trimmed from our grass monster in the garden. I found it very amusing, Johnnhy did not!

We also got a lovely harvest from the allotment this week - the first purple sprouting broccoli of the year, lovely rainbow chard (I so love the colours!) and the last of our leeks. We enjoyed them in and with our fish pie and in a soup - Jacob particularly loved the soup and had 4 helpings! He likes the old tv classic The Clangers at the minute and thinks he is a soup dragon!
