Family | A bit of this and a bit of that

Back Home

We’re back home in the Isle of Man, and we’ve had a really sunny day today. It’s funny how we seem to have taken wet weather to Malta with us, and brought some sun back. Maybe we’re just lucky that way. Anyway, it’s good to be back; the water is softer, the weather is cooler,…

Kids at play

It’s great to watch the kids play, especially the twin who are just starting to get to grip with things. They’re getting more mobile too, Alexander took 6 uninterrupted steps yesterday! Their manual dexterity is getting better too, so the range of different things they can play with is getting wider. The house it also…

September holiday

Image via Wikipedia We’re off to Malta at the end of the month; it’s the twins’ birthday and it will be great to celebrate it with family and far away friends. We haven’t really had a a holiday this summer, it’s just that the twins have really been keeping our hands full. I don’t know…

Arthur at play

I was just thinking about how quickly kids grow; so I thought I’d take a quick minute of Alexander messing around. Check it out: He’s just at that age where everything needs to go in his mouth: food, toys, jigsaw pieces; it’s a good thing we don’t have loose diamonds running around, or you know…

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…

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…

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….

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…

Weekend Time!

It’s the weekend again, and I can’t decide if I get more rest over the weekend, or if it’s actually ore exhausting than a weekday. Three kids can be quite a handful, especially when two of them are under a year old. I did have a friend of mine who’s an amateur body builder, who…

30 years since 1980

You know, I just realised that 1980 was actually 30 years ago. Ok, I’m not going to break out the anti wrinkle creams just yet, but it’s amazing how quick time flies when you’re looking back. I was only 8 years old when 1980 came by, but my memories stretch all the way back and…
