Astronauts & Giraffes

It was Jack's 1st Halloween Party today. Look what mummy & daddy did to him - how funny is that helmet!
We used to spend evenings drinking wine & now we spend them paper-macheying balloons. Jack had a fab time and even got hit on by a giraffe.

New House Colors

We are currently painting the house - here are the new colors. Makes the house & garden look so much nicer.

Hanging out with Dad

Here's a picture of Craig & Jack chilling out today. Jack has a Halloween costume party October 27th at his day care centre. Might dress him up as a pumpkin but would welcome ideas......

Home Improvements

The garden's improving slowly. Take a look at these before & after pictures. Craig's Jeep has improved too!
We are also in the process of painting the house - well, when I say "we", I mean "Craig". I'm too busy keeping the little fella entertained.

Big Bird Rocks

Here's Jack in his flying saucer. He can't touch the floor yet but loves to gaze lovingly at Big Bird.

Cheeky boy is smiling

Here's a couple of pictures of Jack smiling & laughing, which he does all the time now. What a little stunner.

Trip to Columbus Zoo

Took Jack to the zoo today. His favourite animals were penguins, monkeys with red bums, and the bald eagle. I liked the wolves & manatees. In truth, Jack slept through most of the experience but I had a smashing time!

Visit from Nana & Grandad

Craig's mum & dad - Dorothy & Harry - are here from England for 4 weeks. Jack's having a great time - being sung to, playing, going on walks, & getting lots of kisses.

He's a Rum'n

Longhorns got spanked

We had a party last night for the OSU-Texas game. We had the projector set up in the garden and it was brilliant - the quality of the picture was fab and we even had surround sound, courtesy of Craig.
It was a great game - especially as we spanked Texas 24-7.
As usual when hosting a party, I didn't eat anything or get to watch the game but I did lots of nervous drinking and was thoroughly smashed by bed time.

Cross stitch made me chuffin CRY!

I went on a home tour today & saw this in someone's house and it made me CRY! I had left Jack at home with Craig so was missing him and this does ring true. I am turning into an emotional mum. Course it's hard not to when your baby is so scrumptious.
