Hello world.

Hello world
we are still here
life has been a bit hard lately
a winter of discontent
I have been so totally overwhelmed by everything
a feisty, fast growing cheeky baby who will only travel like a monkey on my back
a determined and spirited, now 3 year old boy, who has discovered the joy of testing the boundaries
endless snow and rain and cold that has kept us all literally under the weather
we have spent weeks in our jarmies and we have worn groves in the bed, 2 big one and 2 small ones
the washing piled up and the wall have gone mouldy
Christmas came and went with only a trip to the hospital in an ambulance for Annie to distinguish it from our flu filled days
BUT
by New Years Eve we were all on the mend and 2011 began with us all in better spirits
Alfie turned 3 on Thursday
Annie has discovered the freedom of the ground and the ability to stand on her own feet
I just have to get organised and banish some of the chaos of 2010 from our lives

This will be a better year.
