Katy, a Milestone & the Fire Brigade!

Brian, Emily & Katy came over tonight to check out the kitchen (they just did theirs) and to go for dinner. Katy was crawling like Mrs Speedy! She pulls herself up all the time and is a little cheery soul. How cute is this picture of them holding hands! - not staged either, honest!


It's Jack's last day at Bright Horizons child care tomorrow. Bit sad really as they have been good to him. We got them a box of chocolates & a thank you card. He hit a small milestone today and pulled himself to stand up! They said he tried for ages, then he did it, and fell right back down. Here he's wearing a Winnie the Pooh outfit that his Auntie Sandra got him for Christmas.

Well, we started to tear the kitchen floor up. We know we have 5 layers SO FAR (3 linoleum, 2 plywood). We were trying not to rent a skip/dumpster so we were putting it in the bin and Craig went outside to burn it in the firepit but a nice neighbour called the Fire Brigade. Craig said he heard it coming and thought "Oh noooo, I hope that's not for me". It was. Oh dear. We apologized profusely, then gave up and watched American Idol instead!

We have decided NOT to tear down the wall between the kitchen and living room. After much investigation we're sure it's a load-bearing wall. More kitchen progress photos to come....
