May

I didn't realise May was so sunny. I'm sat here in the cold wishing summer was still here. We had a fairly quiet month. There were a few of trips to Nottingham to start the house hunt, but apart from a visit from Hannah and Asher the rest of our time was spent enjoying the good weather and sights in Lincoln.




 Sorting out Bobbie's 6-9 months clothes!



 More cake.
 The planned destination for Amy's 3rd birthday party.



 Fun in the sun.


 'Arhhh I'm a pirate'
 First teeth.

More April

Another fun filled month with lots of visitors and little trips out and about in Lincoln, Nottingham and Derby.
 Amy was very pleased with her Easter stash. Needless to say, it didn't last long. Don't worry, she didn't eat it in the bathroom, her Easter egg hunt just took her all over the house.
 It's lovely to see them getting along so well.
 What happens when you go too fast on the roundabout with the big kids!
 Owls in the castle a regular feature. 
 The Davis family from Derby came across for a visit before their move back to the states. The kids had a great time exploring Lincoln including the castle, cathedral and steep hill.

 The girls and I often go for a wander around the castle walls. The new visitors centre is coming along nicely. We enjoyed watching the men brushing tidal waves of water off the roof.
 One of Amy's favourite spots.
 Bobbie has come along in leaps and bounds sitting up unaided just after the 5 month mark and starting on solids just before 6 months. She got well stuck in regardless of having no teeth.
 Hugo turns 5, another great party at the Araujo's.

 Anna, Sam and Isaac pay a visit. Unfortunately my photos of everyone were rubbish, but here is the cake we ate. 

 On train reading on of my old books.
 The kids travel so well, I really enjoy going on the train with the girls. They enjoy watching the world go by and being around other passengers.
 A lovely day in Derby visiting Pete and Linda.
 Tandem.
The first of many visits to cousins in Nottingham before our move from Lincoln.

Into April

Yet another fun filled month with lots of visits from friends and fun with the girls.

 Little lion, Amy at her favourite museum in Lincoln the collection (http://www.thecollectionmuseum.com/?/visiting-us/play-at-the-collection).
 It was lovely to have Catharine stay for a few days and be able to properly catch up and spend some quality time together.
 Another bright idea from Amy. What to do with an orange pen... make myself into a tiger!
GRRRRRrrrrr

Littlebeck Woods

Another beautiful day and another walk, this time in the woods. We had a lovely little stroll before John, Hannah and Asher came and we spent the evening playing monopoly deal.

 We were surprised to some across the hermitage, I've not looked up its history yet, but who ever lived here had a beautiful spot. I would be quite content with a little place like this. Amy had a wonderful time playing house, pretending to make us breakfast and get us to sleep on the stone benches inside.
