HI! I`M BACK AT LAST.....

Welcome to Blueberry and Beanno!

Hello everyone.....

I`m back from my hols in Dorset , refreshed and tired out at the same time.   Yes, we had a wonderful holiday and yes, it was exhausting.  All of us, me,Jim and Kerry, enjoyed ourselves and I`m sure if he could talk Roman would say the same. He was a very good baby and I think the sea air really agreed with him as he has started to sleep better than before, giving Kerry more sleep.

Us three on the clifftop close to our cottage.

Our Cottage

 

The weather was really kind to us and one day Kerry and I got quite sunburned, something that we regretted the next day.  We went to lots of places that we have been before and we took Jake down to the sea.  Every morning Jim took him for an early walk into the field next to our cottage, and then down the cliff path ro the beach where he would swim.  It would be idyllic to live there and walk Jake along the cliff paths each day, ho hum......back to reallity now I`m afraid!

We arrives home to lots of mail, mainly `junk` mail and THREE bills, (one of which I paid this morning) and a pile of washing.  Now I only have to face a pile of ironing, a job I totally hate doing.  I also have much catching up to do on the journals, I`m keen to know what`s been going on in J-Land in my absence.

Meet my two new Critters, Blueberry and Beano (pictured at the top of this entry).  I just love Blueberry in particular, he is very fat and round and I think he must have eaten too much of his namesakes!  Thank you for all the suggestions for names of Itsy Betsy`s babies.  I have decided on Brewster and Basil, suggested by Colleen and Jeannette respectively.

We took this photo of Roman, fast asleep on his playmat.  He looks so angelic lying there, without a care in the world!

I just couldn`t resist this photo of  two of the three the men in my life, seeing as how the younger looks just like the elder when he is asleep!

And finally, the third man in my life holding his nephew.  Danny doesn`t like his photo taken and it was a treat to catch him smiling!  Though Roman did choose this moment to exercise his lungs!

I`ll finish now and try to catch up with my journals.  I hope you all have a lovely day, take care now.

Glad you had a lovely time. Noticed the comment you left me, saying you were in Charmouth on Friday. Nearly bumped into you. Was turning for Charmouth but hubby said he'd prefer Seatown! Men! We could have shared an ice cream and a laugh.

Wonderful pictures Sandra, you all look so fit and happy.  What a dear little cottage, you could write a story about that couldn't you, it looks quite secluded and hidden away.  Baby Roman is looking wonderful and changing every time we see him.  Great picture of Danny as well.  Love the new critturs!!!  Lol at you choosing Basil.  Thank you for the cards and the present my dear friend xxxxxxx

Welcome back Sandra.  Those bears are so cute.  I wonder if they are available in the States somewhere?  Roman is growing like a weed.  I'd like to reach out & pinch (gently of course) those little cheeks of his.
