Thank goodness ofr insurance....

well this week has been good but has totally flown past. Reuben had a health visitor check on Friday and is weighing in at a healthy 12lb 5oz (it is probably more than that now!).
we have been doing things but nothing specific or particularly interesting.
I did loose a diamond out of my engagement ring on Friday. Thankfully it is covered by the house insurance!! so i will now be taking better care of my rings!!

this coming week is run up to easter so getting geared up for the concert on Easter Saturday...rick working hard for that one!
other than that nothing much. plan to take reuben for his first swim any day now...we bought all his stuff so we are good to go.

here he is playing happily...and reading his book (clever boy!!)

Busy week

Well since my dads birthday last thursday we have all had a pretty busy week.
It was Lindsays Birthday onTuesday so the three of us went to Carrick and celebrated there... This is lindsay sporting his new Simpson pyjamas from Winnie! Apparently there is a photo of him in them but we aren't sure if we want to see it!

Saturday the allens, winnie and the three of us watched the rugby (i slept)! apparently it was very exciting. On Saturday night we all went to the Saltwater brig in kirkubbin for winnies birthday absolutely delicious meal... and reuben slept through it all! what a good boy!!


yesterday we were in Ballymena at my aunts house for mothers day. It was good craic as we were all there, my nana and great aunt (yes reuben has a great great aunt!) and uncle, my cousin Julie and of course mum dad and stew. Very good day! afterwards we called at my other nana and papas on the way home and so they could get a cuddle of their great grandson. he really is the centre of attention!

what blog recently has not featured reuben?? well a big THANK YOU to auntie J in New York! She sent us over two magic sheep. They aren't really magic. They are called sleep sheep and play nature sounds to get reuben to fall asleep. They work an absolute treat!! every time (so far). They also keep him quiet when he is getting his nappy changed. His favourite sound is ocean. As always, here are a few photos...

Hi everyone!

Hey everybody.

Below is a video of Reuben enjoying some music. He has been a wee angel, even though I haven't been too well over the past couple of days. Ah the joys of breastfeeding and all that...

anyway, promised Jacqui I would load this up, it is very cute! Some great pics too.
Enjoy

Smiles and laughter...

well we have had a good week. the weeks are flying by and the visitors have kind of dwindled. Reuben and I have had fun spending some time on our own. Rick has been working hard at the scout hall. Thriving Life moves in there all being well within the next couple of weeks (we'll keep you posted!).
