Time travel

Ok, yes I know its now 2012 but there is so much from the 2nd half of 2011 that has yet to be told.....

I will try to be brief. Following Abby's birthday we had a play date with the Gaunts and were joined by the Sheets for part of the day also. it was a warm sunny day so we played at the park and had lunch in the garden, then the kids played and we ev entually got out the paddling pool. the kids had a great day which made the HUGE clean up job afterwards worth it. Of course this was the day that the vacuum cleaner decided to break down and my smaller one doesn't pick up aswell, there was grass everywhere. Thankfully we ordered a new one that came very quickly and I love it! It was a hidden blessing.

The other big part of our summer was spending about 3 weeks at mum/grannies house. The weather was nice so we had days at parks, playing in sprinklers and in the paddling pool. We took a train to Glasgow to visit David's family, the girls enjoyed the ride and all the attention that they received.

I have had this post saved as a draft for so long that I can hardly remember what else happened. To sum up the Autumn and Winter of 2011. David had been looking for a new job and got one in Edinburgh to begin in the new year, we put our house on the market. We celebrated Aleah's first birthday at the end of November, a quiet party with family.Once school had finished for the Christmas break we packed up as much as we could and headed down to mum's. We had a lovely Christmas all together as my brother and his family were moving to the USA after the new year.

Thus ends 2011, finally!
