Family update!

Hi MOM.

Yes I got all your e-mails and I am FINALLY updating my blog. I seem to have relished this talking over thephone business rather than blogging. However, I got my phone bill in and .... its back to blogging big time!

News.. I have a new little cousin, Adam and Carys' second cousin-- baby Natalia born to a proud mama and she is really beautiful (I don't think they can ethically airbrush babies photos so its gotta be legit!).

Carys had her first real experience with CHILE. She swiped a bit of her Dad's pizza, compelte with jalapenos, and cruched chile flakes, and did not like whsat she bit into! After some water, milk and lots of cuddles her crying abated and she will NEVER do that again.

We had a great camping trip to the New Forest( South West coast of England, think Southhamptonish area) at the end of May. Had a really good time, lots of walks, rain, and more rain. pictures to come.. I still can't ge tthe hang of embedding a slide show to a post...

I finished my college course.. YEAH!!!

Adam went on his first BEAVER scout sleepover. He went off trundling under a backpack complete with sleeping bag, camping mat and flashlight! They only camped out in the scout hut so I know they wer safe and well looked after but still didn't get too much sleep that night at home! He earned a challenge badge for the evening .. exciting for him... not so for me... another badge to sew onto his jumper! ( it has joine d the pile of other badges waiting to be sewed on... I will do it sooon!!!)

While I have not been releigious in updating my blog... Patrick has been posting pictures to opur flickr account. So go there for pictures of what we have been up to.

Can't wait to go and see everyone in New Mexico... just under 3 weeks to go!!!!

Adam lost a tooth.... and gained £1 fro mthe tooth fairy. He got up crying in a panic because the tooth fairy did not come to visit him. i said he did Adam.. he was heartbroken and said no there was nbothign there. We went back to his room and found it... but I do hae to say that the toothe fairy did not find the tooth under the pillow..... so lets hope someone nver fidns this rolling around somewhere and question tooth fairy ettiquette!

Carys is talking now... loves the word yes..... loves playign with her dolls, loves throwing tantrums, and is going fo rthe guinness world record on having the highest pitched scream! She also has aproblem keepingher clothes on!

It's been nice these past few days...

will blog soon.
