latest update

All doing well here, been busy. Had very good Thannksgiving last week when we faield to take any photos except the one of Alf, Edie and Henry. The week before that we had a party for Alfie with 5 of his friends which was slightly chaotic but again went very well. This weekend is a bit calmer and we have all just woken from an afternoon nap.

Science

Alf and I spent the morning at @ Bristol museum. Is very very good. Alfie spent most of time chasing balls and watching them get blown into the air.

All else fine, Josephine piling on the pounds and has been asleep much of this afternoon.

More photos

Alf asleep, Johanna and Josephine at the mall. Rain, rain, rain in Bristol. Watch out for the scary witch. Fair to say Josie likes water and will immediately calm down once she is in the bath. Also fair to say that Alfie is in love with his sister, so much so that he likes to get in her face much of the day. Josie had some trouble feeding she was tongue tied whch made it a little tricky, that has been sorted now so hopefully no more trips to the hospital.

She slept from 10.30pm until 5.30am last night, amazing, particularly given that her brother was up every cpuple of hours.

Week one

All going well. Johanna and Jose asleep. Alf and Bert just been to the pool.

Here she is

Josephine Loretta arrived in a hurry at home on Monday 19th October at 10.30am. Fortunately the midwife arrived just in time as her head was popping out and daddy did not know what to do. She weighed 8lb 2oz and is in rude health. mum is tired after not much sleep last night but both now resting. Alfie likes to cuddle and is very impressed that josie brought a farm with her for him to play with.

will try and get some better pictures soon.

Alf (mostly) running on beach

Cruel but funny.

It has been a while, but it probably right that Alfie has 1 last showcase before the arrival of his sister. We think we are already to go, but no doubt she will shake things up a little.

Johanna has finished work and we are hoping for a home birth this time which would be good after Alfie’s antics on the last occasion. We even have a pool so fingers crossed. I am hoping that the baby arrives at the end of this week as that would fit in well with work.

We have had some friends over today and played inside as it is a bit wet. Alf is not the easiest indoors full of energy event though he had a flu jab this morning.

Various photos - at the beach, with cousin Henry and friend Hope.
