I Am Four (weeks old)

How time flies when your having fun. Four weeks have gone by and the little man continues to feed and grow. He's now 4.22kg (having started at 3.67kg). Four those of you watching in black and white, that's a gain of over 19oz. Which is about the weight of a pint of beer!

Here's the latest picture; Joseph being strangled by Rosie.

Get Yer Motor Running

A bit of quality time for Mr T. and his Dad. And what better way to spend it than playing with 2 wheeled toys. After comparing hardware, Thomas had a closer inspection of the competition. However, he chose to bring his own bike to pick up Rosie from the school bus.

Typical of any youngster on a bike he had to show off, with the usual concequences.

Visitors

A new arrival means we've been blessed with visitors. Grandma has been here for the long haul,


and is off back to Spain shortly.


Meanwhile, Nanny & Grandad have come up

for a few days to meet Joseph.


And their other grand-children.

May Day Bank Holiday

A fairly easy-going weekend. We had the company of Fluff from Rosie's school (see blog entry below).

Saturday was spent doing the usual stuff; shopping, swimming & children's parties. There was also time for Rosie & Thomas to get to know Joseph a little better

Sunday Rosie spent some time sewing with Grandma, and later we braved the variable spring weather and had a barbeque on the green with a few neighbours.

And the highligh on Monday was lunch in the local rub-a-dub, the Shoulder of Mutton. This was Joseph's first (of no doubt many to come) visits to a pub.



He seemed pretty unimpressed and slept until his Dad's steamed pudding and custard arrived. However, the pub wasn't spoiled, since Landlady Sheila took over child holding duties until the bowl was clean.

Pinky and Perky had no problems at all consuming their dessert...

Friday 4th May 2007.

Once again, I went to visit Rosie (see past posts). The occasion this time was to visit her new brother. His name is Joseph, and he has already got a lot of lovely presents and cards.


Saturday 5th May 2007.

Saturday saw the inevitable trip in Daddy's car to the swimming pool for Rosie's weekly lesson.

After lunch it was off to Clown In' Around for Freya's birthday party. I followed Rosie everywhere; climbing to the highest highs, and flying down the slides too. It was great fun. Freya had lots of presents and everyone got a lovely party bag when they went home.

And later in the afternoon we saddled up and went for a bike ride all around Grandborough. Of course I made sure I wore a crash helmet, as did Rosie & Thomas.

Sunday 6th May 2007.

After a nice breakfast, I joined Rosie and her Daddy on a trip to church. I even got a blessing off the Priest.

In the afternoon there was a barbeque on the green outside of Rosie's house. I was afraid the smoke might get into my fur so I stayed inside and watched everyone through the window.



Monday 7th May 2007.

We had a great big breakfast of pancakes, which Rosie and her dad made. I then spent some time with Rosie's new brother, Joseph.

He is only 12 days old. He wakes up in the night and Rosie's mummy or daddy have to feed him. Luckily he isn't too noisy, so he didn't wake me up.

Rosie took her Grandma out for lunch. And afterwards I helped them both with Rosie's reading practice.

In the afternoon I played with Rosie and her brother Thomas, andwe had an early night, ready for School the next morning.

What a fun weekend!
