Grandma and Emily at Beth's birthday party.

Mashy moments: Black Pearl Oyster Stout.

Girls chillin'

My beautiful girls. This weekend is the first that I have looked after both Beth and Emily, and both were absolutely brilliant. What a lucky father I am.

We popped into the Harvester for a bite to eat and look who were found?!  Beth and I shared a Honeycomb Explosion desert and then went mental on a sugar rush.

Well done Beth!! Very proud parents!

4 months old today!

What a cracker!!

We visited Rosie at Quarry Bank Mill to see her talk about, and demonstrate, old looms and spinning jennies. It was great and she is a natural.

Babs, Bex & Beth on the Buxton Express.

The dark and mysterious world of the copper.

Hot Stuff

Can't beat the great weather recently. The beach was mobbed this afternoon and sunburn was everywhere.

Viking Bay: Keithy Beach Chic

Emily Updateee

Emily is doing well still. She is going to bed at 8:30pm and not bothering us until 7:30am the following morning. This is excellent and allows Parkeston and I some time together.

Meanwhile, Parkeston is considering further education opportunities and we are all preparing for a week in Buxton with Granny B. Cannot wait as it'll be first recreational time off since April 2011.

Grandma not in the driving seat!

Beth was driving Grandma round the bend today.

That kid's got no hope!

That's one pretty dog!

Chubby cheeks

Emily is sporting the fattest cheeks right now, very hamsteresque .

This little piggy

Emily is a happy baby and also likes her milk, well, who doesn't? Lots of smiles and giggles all round. Strings and I are off out Saturday night for our anniversary, beer and curry, heaven!

Emily is now going through the night from 21:30 until 7:00, which is nice. Here she is in her Saturday best!
