From happy bunny to a poorly baby in only a few days.........yup Ben is poorly with D & V...oh bless. He took himself off for a nap this afternoon which he NEVER does and was so ill he crashed out on the loung floor......lets hoope he feels better before Friday as we are off to the caravan in Pickering for the weekend.


Poor little lamb it brought real tears to my eyes seeing him like this...... xxx

Sunny skies

Hi All,
Seeing as we have NO Grandparents in this country at all!!! I thought we'd better give you an update. yesterday we went to the beach for the day........first I took some photos under the blossom before the weather changed.....which is a good job because today is very changeable!!

Ben getting excited in the car.............

Ben playing in the sand for the first time...........

More photos from Easter Sunday........

I have so many beautiful photos of all the girls but obviously I can't share them.....

So here's another of Georgia!!

Ben discovering an Egg...duh!

The aftermath of the Nature Walk.......my poorly pollen filled eyes won't fall for this trick again!

Ben at a Samba Drum workshop today.....I think he enjoyed it the most!!

Underneath our favourite tree on the way home today.

Georgia wanted a photo of her bed in case we put it in the Attic. I wasn't counting on her posing like a professional model on it though!

Love Ruth and her little flower collectors!!

Happy Easter Sunday xxx

Happy Mothers Day to you....and me!!

Good Morning and Happy Mothers Day to my Mum, June and Granny Brenda from all of us. xxx

Just thought I'd share a couple of photos from yesterday with you. We took a spur of the moment trip to a farm. The weather was so beautiful it seemed a shame to waste it at home.

The goat was called Tinkerbell and I think she thought she'd found her prince!!

Georgia on the inner-tube slide it's made of astro turf and is such fun!!

Ben was fascinated by the animals and kept on grinning at the goat!!

Have a lovely day.......we have another busy schedule according to Georgia!!

Love Ruth xxx

Teething troubles

Yes it's that time again........thank goodness he hasn't had any new teeth since August until this week.......It's the usual grumpy, clingy, crying and sitting on Mummys knee business. Which is nice but strange because Ben isn't normally one for sitting on my knee when there is a lounge to discover and destroy!!
My poor lamb is due for his injections tomorrow I am in 2 minds as to whether he should go. They say not to if baby is running a fever well he was but this has calmed down but it still freaks you out. I might cancel and try to get him in on Friday or Monday instead just to make sure he really is better. Georgia was forever having hers cancelled because she was always full of one cold or another but Ben just has unlucky timing as he has been fine until now.

The weather has turned positively arctic...who said the glaciers are melting? It's ffffrrreeeezzing again over here.

Hope you all have a lovely week........

Love and grumbles Ruth and family xxx

(ps: do you like the big print it's for the benefit of those of you over 65!!he he)

Climb every mountain......

I may not be able to walk yet but I can climb!!!! oh yes I can........ you just watch me.......

and when I do I think I am just the most clever one year old in the whole world!!! I get this look of pride across my cheeky face and it spreads from ear to ear!

Most of my time is spent crawling away from Mum so she can't catch me to change my nappy.....

or sucking in my cheeks because I think I'm sooooooo funny!!

Then there are the quiet moments...we don't get many of those because I like to be on the go the whole time. As soon as Mum pulls out the camera it fascinates me because for some reason she won't let me play with it:( so I stop and stare at this reflection of myself whilst trying to figure out how I can do some damage to that thing in her hands!!

Love from Ben the mountain climber!! xxx
