Snowy Sunday


 
 
 This is what I have to contend with!  Fortunately Katy is a rubbish shot and I didn't even have to dodge one snowball from the barrage!
 
We were walking home from church - half way home we saw a giant black snow cloud headed our way, and it started snowing before we made it home.  It was fun though!  It hasn't been as snowy in Derby as elsewhere in the country

We found some interesting mushrooms growing on a stump.

Katy has been doing lots of knitting.  This is one of her more recent creations.  She got a book from the library with lots of different patterns in.  Not being able to decide on one pattern she rolled a whole variety into one - I like it!

New cousin!!!

It was great to see Anna and Sam on Monday. Amy had a great time! As hard as she tried, she didn't actually get to eat the snickers icecream.


Amy and I also finally saw our new baby neice/cousin. She is so cute and tiny (well, only in comparison) and only 4 weeks old. I think Amy is seeing if her cheeks are as chubby as hers!

December so far...

Christmas preparations have been moving quite nicely. I'm reall excited about it being Christmas soon and it being Amy's first (I really just can't wait to play with her presents)! There have been a few highlights from the past few weeks: Visiting the Lincoln Christmas Market with a voiceless Carrie-Anne, a dinner dance with a bunch of young marrieds from church and of course Amy enjoying new food. I've also thrown in an extra picture of Amy, just because she's cute.
