Had a nice week last week with mum and dad when they came home from Austria.
This is the first time I have updated my journal.
They all had a lovely holiday, it was warm every day.
Last week we had a few takeaways which were nice. We went to tesco together last Sunday with boys and I paid for half the teas.
Ross and Owen caught my cold so have been a bit off colour the last few days but seem ok today.
I took mum to the mezzo restaurant on Saturday which was lovely. Mum had chicken curry with homemade nan bread and I had crab and prawn linguine with handcut chips. It was very nice.
I bought mum some tights and toilettries and dad 3 boxes of nicorette for having us stay. John and I will be taking them to the 1629 for nice meal soon.
We have been down in lossie for 2 weeks now and having a nice time. Mum and dad are a great help with the boys..
Ross will be 22 months in 4 days!
Owen is now 4 months old and doing so well!
He is such a good baby and still not requiring weaning. I’ve bought some baby rice for when he does though.
Ross’s new words
When reading thomas the tank engine he will say "that’s not a choo choo!"
He says baa baa for sheep and moon. Car key is another favorite.
More and done have been said a lot along with no!
He’s having a nap just now and so is Owen.
The house is coming on well. Heating fitted last week and working well. The shower and screen also fitted. Kenny has almost finished the kithchen which looks lovely.
We have finished the horrible scraping! The painter is going to do ross’s new room and the hallway this week.
New floors fitted in hall and kitchen. We have still to buy the laminate but have ordered the kitchen lino and the carpets.
Joanne will be 19 weeks pregnant tomorrow and is doing well, bump growing well.
She has her scan on Thursday. She brought home the doppler so she and chris could hear the baby’s heartbeat.
