Getting over the cold

I am afraid there hasn't been much news in teh Allen household lately because we have all had variations of the cold. Reuben has a teething cold, katie just has the usual cold and Rick has a sore throat plus sore gums (wisdom teeth) so we haven't been much fun.

On Thursday night Rick and I went to see Casting Crowns. It was an excellent concert although we got the impression they had never really played in a concert environment before...less talking more songs would have been perfect but it was still very enjoyable!

On Friday Lindsay and Lilian came over and helped us to clear the garden for stage 2 of the "garden project". Basically we are extending the decking and grass area and creating a peaceful rockery type thing down the stupid bit of garden at the very back. Rick and Lindsay had lots of fun burning stuff!


Lindsay even decided to play dress up!!!


Saturday was spent relaxing around the house and enjoying the good weather while Sunday Rick was sailing so the three of us spent the day at the boat club...totally beautiful and would have been relaxing if Reuben hadn't been too warm (and so screamed the place down!).
Unfortunately the good weather has come to an end...but I hope it will return soon!


By the way rick and I watched a great movie this week...Bobby. It is about Robert Kennedy. Was a bit slow to start with but got really good. Worth a watch!
