Not much to report....


Not a lot has been happening lately, Emily is dry through the night now which is great although we did have a mishap this morning at 5am but hopefully I will get a good night tonight! Tom has been diagnosed as slightly asthmatic which we were kind of expecting as both Wayne and I have mild Asthma and he has such bad ecsema (I think thats spelt correctly!) so it was always a possibility but perhaps we didn't expect it so early but nevermind - he is having antibiotics which is really helping his cough and may need an inhaler later but should be ok.


Wayne has been working loads so we have been pretty quiet, I have bought and wrapped 90% of my christmas shopping and now we are planning ahead for the next few busy weeks. We are going to the Henessey Gold Cup at Newbury Races on Saturday then have people over for dinner, we are going out with Emily for the day on the 7th and leaving Tom with his Nana which will be quite nice then just a few xmas parties and before we know it everything will be over and it will be January!


Emily has been quite involved in xmas shopping choosing presents for her friends, Finn, Jennie, Lucy and Sophie, and we are going to take her to pick something for Tom. She is afraid of Father Christmas though - she says he is scary!! Tom is nearly rolling over, he can do it on the bed but that doesn't really count. Emily can copy her name now if I write it for her and she knows nearly all her letters verbally!

The photos are of Emily making cakes dressed as a fairy and Tom playing in his gym nest on his tummy - which he doesn't really enjoy but he looks cute!

Bang Bang!


Fireworks were not what we expected. On friday Jamie, Fiona, Dan, Helen, Abby and Finn came over to set off the fireworks that Jamie had "acquired" from his dad who works at a firework factory! We started and poor Finn got really upset and went home after 2 rockets! Emily decided she didn't want to watch fireworks without Finn and asked to go to bed! So we let the rest off and they were brilliant, we had loads and loads, some were floor fireworks but there were quite a few rockets and 3 or 4 huge rockets. As a finale we had to go to the bottom of the driveway to set off a huge barrage of rockets called the "ultimate comet" it was brilliant!! Several drinks later it was 1am and we were all shattered!

Saturday night we went to Sarah's party and Tom was amazed by the fireworks and loved them, Emily was not so excited and spend the night with her head burried in her hands. She was not afraid - just not in the mood! We wrapped them up for the party, maybe a little too much as they both got quite hot!
