It's been eight quick months since my last blog. But O boy have I been busy.....The extension FINALLY came to end and I have a super new kitchen, the last of dust has been hoovered up, all the men have gone, so has the scaffolding, we have painted, wallpapered, moved in, Ryver's name spelling changed to River, River is in his own room, he's weaned (only eats pasta!), he crawls really fast, Merina turned 4, Talullah turned 2, Merina finished pre-school for ever! My fabulous friend Fiona got married, I was bridesmaid - she was beautiful, I turned 30 - ouch, we holidayed in Menorca with three kids and actually had fun! Tallulah potty trained, Glen took me on a romantic holiday to Italy Lake Como without the kids, Merina starts BIG school one week today..................
