Little Boy in Big Shoes!

George seems to have a fascination with wearing his mummy and daddy's shoes! Doesn't he look cute!

Today is Bank Holiday Monday and we have just arrived back from swimming. George loves swimming so I take him once or twice a week and Simon swims with him at weekends when he can. Been a busy few weeks, as always, trying to get the new playroom in shape and thinking about starting George's new bedroom as his will be needed for Smith No.2 before we know it. I am growing bigger by the week (now only 15 weeks to go!) so we need to get thinks moving fast....

Not sure if Simon mentioned it in his recent blogs but we have now won (!) our appeal to get the full extension done which is fantastic news. It means we can make all our bedrooms doubles and have a lovely balcony off our room. Given the baby situation the work won't start for a year or two but getting it approved is great news.

As I write this George is helping Daddy mow the lawn.....Bless!

George is two... and 2 weeks

Because Daddy has taken so long to getting round to updating this blog, George is now 2 years and 2 weeks old. George had a great birthday party, with around fifeteen of this little friends (and luckily their parents) coming round for a garden party and for once, the weather was beautiful. This made up for his 1st birthday party, which had to be cancelled owing to the fact that we were all ill with some bug. Having fifeteen kids over made having George's cousins staying with us for the following weekend (sans parents) a doddle in comparision. Furthermore, they were on their best behaviour whilst George was creating havoc by jumping them at every opportunity. After what can only be described as a very long and stressful week at work, we are hopefully set up for a relaxing weekend, with George going to show daddy how good he has become at swimming now. Then two-thirds of the Godparents (Jo and also Paul) are coming over for lunch on Sunday. I am sat here looking at Gordon Ramsey's book, but I will certainly be going to my friend the other George to see how to make a cheese sauce. I just wathced the beauty treatment one..... Haven't laughed so much in ages!!!
