Another year another post well quite alot happened since the last post.

We obviously had our wonderful little girl Daisy who is now over one.

Her appearance into the world was 19:44 21st September 2011 as always there's a little story to go with the birth Sue at home nothing happening I make plans with Pete to go for a beer then she comes in and ask if AM and Pete can come and get Jack ok here we go go downstairs phone the hospital they say stay until contractions get quicker and take 2 paracetamol...ha

Right time to go - get in the car - which way do I go? the way we've be going recently.... but there's roadworks .....which weren't meant to start till later...... few diversions and back to a roundabout we've been to before!!!..... and extra coned off bit.....drive up.. get out..... move cones.... and drive through vrooom go go go - Go different way .....nearly get lost...... see pub and chippy !! Off we go!

Get there get a parking space "Shall I straighten up" HAHA!!! Sues holding onto the car next to ours can't speak or hardly walk get to the entrance I grab a wheelchair and off we scoot get into the maternity ward , nurses says follow me and speeds off hey woman in labour here.
Go into room Sue goes to loo with a basin - mucus plug comes out ....gets up on the table shouts oh my god it's coming!....I take her pants off and yes there's a head, shout out of room and say to the midwife It's coming! she says don't panic..... I say I'm not it's head is showing ...... right and here we go yep little push and pop out she falls wrapped up i cut the cord and all done second stage 2 seconds or thereabouts.

Fast forwards a pooey year and shes a right madam could walk at 11 months now climbing on to chairs and getting up to everything. Still not sleeping through though grr

Getting closer

Sue's still having a rough time of it, the monkey's gone on holiday to his grandma's for the week. The house really is quiet without him. Work's still tough. Apparently when grandma spelt out D - U - C - K - S when trying to talk to Samantha Jack said what ducks?

Blimey over a year since last post, bad daddy

Really?? my word so much has happened.

So the curly haired monster has just turned 3 on Wednesday and his party is today in fact.

We've moved from the big smoke up to Coventry now I'm typing this looking from my office over Spencer Park.

And we expecting the arrival of Thing 2 early-mid September !! argghhhh we're doing it again.

Still at the BBC but forced into a different team using Java and the Forge yuck

Xmas in March, late Santa delivery

Jack loves his presents from Terry and Julia

ABC and parties

Jacks starting to say quite a fair bit now and is getting into saying ABCs with Elmo, his latest favourite. We've put a blackboard and a metal board on the walls of his bedroom and got him some numbers and letters with magnets to stick on them, which he promptly pulled off. Some of the time he can count to 5 sometimes he gets mixed up.

We've been saying to each other that he's mad as a box of frogs which he repeats 'box frogs', Sue went into Primark the other day and lo they had a 'mad as a box of frogs' kids t shirts, the shop assistants gave her funny looks as she burst out laughing.

His other saying/doing of the moment is getting a bag or his robot case and heading towards the door, when asked where he's going he replies 'Party', to where, he replies 'Next door' he's now added 'Carrie Cynthia' to who with, obviously Jack enjoyed the last party there!

Aunty Sue

Happy birthday love Steve Sue and Jack
