Our 11th Anniversary

It was our 11th Anniversary a few days ago so we took the opportunity, as you do to exchange gifts. The theme for 11th anniversary was steel, which meant I couldn’t go for one of those pretty corsets or anything sexy. (It was steel for crying out loud!). So instead, I managed to find some…

Blowing bubbles

Here’s a short video I took a couple of days ago. Seems like the babies have become experts at blowing bubbles. I wonder who thought them! Tweet

Alone for a week

So, Camille and the kids are away from home for a whole week. This gives me some time to catch up on stuff and catch up on some sleep. I’ve already kicked off the week properly, been to the gym on Monday (tomorrow is next) and am looking to a proper night of sleep tonight…

The Weekend is here! How about a sleep in?

I must say that Friday evenings are great. I know that the weekend is here, an spend some quality time with family and get some R&R. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but weekdays are just so hectic, juggling work, babies and all the other things in between. Friday comes along and I…

Alexander and Aristea eating pizza

Here’s a cute little video I took on my phone and uploaded to YouTube It’s great to see the babies play with their food. They don’t have teeth yet, so they’re not quite chewing on that pizza, but they are proceeding to gum it to death. It’s nice that they “get it”, and are happy…

Hearing exam for the kiddies

Today, Arthur, Alexander and Aristea had their hearing checked. It’s just a routine thing that they do to all kids when they reach a certain age, and as the twins are now 8 months old, it was time for their check. Turns out that Arthur’s hearing is perfect. The twins have to be checked again….

Another weekend, another BBQ

Some chicken, pork and corn in the barbeque

Image via Wikipedia We’ve just had another great BBQ today, with some friends who came visiting. We tried some new things today. We had some chicken drumsticks, which I’m always a bit wary about; I always manage to undercook them and have to put them back again, but this time they came just right. We…

Arthur has a new mattress!

We’ve been looking for a memory foam mattress for Arthur for some time now. You see, has had a cabin bed which bad coming up to chest height with storage (or play area) space underneath. He’s had a spring mattress which he loves jumping on, but we don’t let him do this as, if he…

Twins’ first BBQ

We had a couple of barbeques last week which was a first for the twins. The weather was nice, so we just went ahead and rolled with it. Here you can see a picture of the twins enjoying themselves on our new patio furniture. We’re not usually ones for modern furniture, but we found a…
