Who's is best?

Voting to the right! May the best (snow)man win!!

Winter's Here!

We've had our first dump of snow here in Aberdeen and luckily enough for me it coincided with the weekend so I was able to get out and have some fun with the girls today!!! To be honest they didn't last long the first time with Nat bailing out first then Holly soon after when we were half way through building a snowman. They had fun though and Holly was hanging out with the older girls from the street whilst Nat stood about asking me to make her snowballs!! Infact I have a 'you've been framed' type video of Holly winging a snowball off Nat's head. Real shame for Nat as she was very upset but it is very funny, infact even Nat was loving watching back!!!

I managed to persuade Holly to go out again in the afternoon to get the snowman built but didn't take any pictures - doh! I'll try and get some tomorrow to post.

Bye

Nat update

Hi Everyone, this is my first blog in a LLOOONNNGGG time sorry folks!! As Ian said last time it has been a really busy time for us (when isn't it?!) and the blog has taken a back seat. Also I have just been putting my photos on Bebo as it is SO much easier than this, but I will try and do more regular updates.

So I just thought I would update you on Nat, who had her tonsils out 11 days ago. As you can see for yourself she is doing great.....

She has recovered really well this week and is eating loads, much more than she did before, those HUGE tonsils really didn't allow her to eat very well. Her breathing is so much better too, we don't even know when she is sleeping now. So that's her pretty much recovered (her throat is still a bit white) and back to Fishies tomorrow, which she is looking forward to.

Here are a couple of other photos from this week...

This is Holly and Natalie cuddling up on the sofa. They are really quite good friends, we were writing Holly's birthday party invites this week and the first person Holly wanted to invite was Natalie!! Holly also said to Natalie earlier this week 'I am glad you are home from the hospital Natalie' Of course they have their moments and fight like cat and dog, but that's just sibling's isn't it?

This is a bit of a random photo but it's one Holly took of us eating our lunch one day, we thought it turned out quite good!

Yesterday was Holly's school Christmas Fayre so Ian took the girls along as I was working. It was Natalie's first proper outing since her op too. They had a great time, both of them went in to see Santa, this is the first time they have ever wanted to speak to Santa last year they both cried! They also got their faces painted, Holly was a rabbit and Natalie a butterfly....

So that's it for now, hope you like the photos.

Loooong time no blog!

Well it's been a very long time since the last blog. Mostly down to a combination of LOTS going on and Hannah tending to use Bebo to share photos now, rubbish excuses but hey ho! As there's been so much happening I'll try to tell stories by putting up a couple of pictures for each month. So here goes!:

The 'Cousints' were over for Sarah's Wedding

And of course we had the wedding on 19/09 - only holly with the bride as Nat was huffing!

The Forbes....... plus Mrs Watt & Mrs Stewart! ;)

Then Hannah turned 30! We went to Crieff Hydro for a couple of days - it was fantastic!

After Crieff we had a nice family lunch at the Ferryhill to celebrate Hannah's 30th

The girls are well up for Halloween now. Here's holly dressed as a 'devil'!

and Nat as a cat!

And I think that brings us up to date. The biggest other thing that has happened is that Nat was in the children's hospital yesterday getting her tonsils and adenoids out. As most folks now she has had problems with sounding blocked up from birth really and it wasn't till she started snoring earlier in the year that we managed to get it checked out. The result was to get the operation that she had on Tuesday. It all went perfect and although it was very grim in parts she is doing really well overall. We got home today and she's eating and drinking pretty well so fingers crossed it will be a quick recovery!!

That's it, hopefully it will not be too long till the next blog.
