Tomás’ 3rd Birthday – The Cards
I thought you might like to see a little gallery I made of Tomás Birthday Cards. I typed up all the inside messages for each card. 🙂 Enjoy.

Today’s happenings: Daniel’s new cot & a christmas party
Last weekend we bought a new cot for Daniel because he’s got too big for his current cot and last night I managed to put it all together. Low and behold as I arrive home this evening and look at the pictures/videos on the camera I am made aware of what happened while I was at work. 🙂
Later in the day Liz went to Nelson & Viji’s house (friends from church) for a little Christmas party. Pic & video below:
Daniel trying out some “real” food last month
I just thought you might all be interested to see how Daniel has been responding to his introduction to baby rice. Here’s a little video of him being fed by Tomás under the watchful eye of Liz.
Tomás Christmas Party at Nursery
Welcome to my first experience of a nursery christmas party and I must say, being my one and only christmas party this year, it was very enjoyable. But that might be my proud mum feelings coming through…..
Prior to this grand event I had been hearing the tunes of twinkle twinkle little star and jingle bells coming from Tomas’s bedroom just before sleep and we had heard mention of a certain father christmas. This party confirmed all I had suspected. As you can see from the four videos below, the children did really well at singing all the songs they had been practising and I have to say Tomas was the most enthusiastic and loved every minute of it.
After the singing we all ate and they wore the christmas hats they had made. They then had a childrens entertainer and the grand finale was a visit from father christmas himself who gave out presents. All in all it was a successful day.
Yesterday at the park.
Well the weather has been pretty miserable over here at the moment, with both boys having runny noses and coughs to deal with. But anyway we braced ourselves and headed off to park at London Fields (see photo below)
1st day of Advent.
Today is the 1st of Dec which marks the 1st day of Advent. We were very blessed to be given an Advent candle from our dear friends Dave & Sarah and we lit it today as reminder of what Christmas is about as we celebrate the birth of Christ.
Our new bed has finally arrived!
After weeks of waiting our new bed has finally arrived from Dreams. Liz sent me a couple of pics to me this morning which I thought I would share with you.
Once I get in from work, then I will put it together and have an amazing night’s sleep!
Springfield park – cold but fun!
Yesterday we went to the park and we had an interesting time teaching Tomás to get on his bike.
Server change a success!
After months of silence I am proud to say that the blog now has a new home & it should have lots and lots of updates. 🙂 It will no longer be powered by Blogger but by WordPress, so that should make it a lot more stable. You may notice that some of the spacing on the previous posts is a little “iffy” as they were imported from blogger – from now on they should be ok. So watch this space.
Daniel recovering well after the op.
Not many of you may know but on the 20th Nov Daniel had an operation to sort out a small blockage between his kidney and bladder. You’ll be glad to know that all is well and this is a little video showing you what he was like just 5 days after the op. You will also notice that he’s now got a scar on his left hand side.
