Hi all!

I have finally got on board the goosemail train so can now post what Amy and I have been up to. Amy, as you can see is her usual happy self and I've been having a creative spurt. On Sunday mum brought over a tonne of wool and I picked out a load of colours to start knitting!!! Very exciting. I completed my first project yesterday, mini baby mittens. This is just the start of great things! I must admit that the mittens don't actually fit Amy too well, however, I am pleased with the outcome because I adapted a pattern and managed to make it work! Not bad for a first attempt I think. The pumpkins are my harvest from the pumpkin patch this year, also not bad for a first attempt at a garden. I planted the patch when I was 40 weeks pregnant!! I wanted to get a picture of them all before the halloween massacre begins. We'll be eating lots of pumpkin over the next few weeks.

Sunday Lunch


Grandma and Grandad and Great Grandma came for Sunday lunch today.  It was yummy!  We made a four generations photo: Grandma, Great Grandma, Mummy, Baby.  Thanks to modern technology the photo was developed straight away.




On Friday Amy discovered something tastier than her thumb:

Kinder Scout

Some photos from Kinder Scout and Edale in September, using my car boot sale camera.



















Amy's blessing

On Sunday at church, Amy was given a name and blessed.  Almost all of both our families were there, and some friends too.  We had a big buffet afterwards (thanks Sam and Carrie-Anne!) all in our living room.  The nephews helped save space by eating their food under the tables!  They scuttled out of their hiding places like rodents to grab some more cherry bakewells before hiding away again.  Did I just call my nephews rodents?

We really enjoyed ourselves and had a lovely day.

Hiking Baby
Amy on Jacob's Ladder coming off Kinder Scout - 19 September.  She looked at me with this quizzical face the whole way down.  She loves hiking!
