Chewing wasps and spitting feathers

August 24, 2010 by

Well. We haven’t really done so much of either. But I quite liked it as a title 🙂 Yesterday we started our new HE regime… for however long it lasts. In an attempt to pull together some of what has worked in the past, add a little of what we enjoy and try some things […]

Ever on and on.

August 21, 2010 by

The last few weeks have been building up to the three older girls having some time away from home; an opportunity arose for Fran and Amelie to attend a gym camp at a gymnastics centre some way from us, known to us slightly through a friend and a competition that Fran has done. We offered […]

The Weekly Round Up.

July 24, 2010 by

Last Friday we went off to Wicksteed Park for the day. Not been for ages and the girls all really enjoyed themselves, mingling with friends and going on rides with them and with Daddy. I was happy just to mooch and watch them enjoy their half price wristbands; I’m not a fan of rides and […]

Previously, in the PoP residence….

July 5, 2010 by

There was much (MUCH!) Geomag play. Am seriously considering stocking these now they’ve relaunched. Amelie made me a present after a rather lovely nature walk with Daddy. Fran and I had been down to Addenbrookes for the day, visiting an incarcerated friend family while we were there. Fran got signed off from one surgeon too, […]

All the other things we've been doing.

June 21, 2010 by

I’m so far behind on the day to day life around here that I don’t think I can remember. Maddy went on her PGL holiday and loved it. I wasn’t really worried about her going, though it didn’t feel very long after all our traumas. She was very pleased to be going and came home […]

The writing's on the wall (or window)

June 14, 2010 by

Maddy wrote this. I’m so proud 🙂 We had a lovely day at Zoe’s today. I took a variety of gel pens, some of which can be used on windows but all of which blend together. We got the kids to experiment for a while, drawing alongside them again to help encourage them. Then we […]

The sun always rises.

May 15, 2010 by

There is some form of normality around, although too much of it is over laid by things which just aren’t normal and right now, if i’m honest, don’t feel like they ever will be. Reading this post on glow this week pretty much summed it up. The ripples really are everywhere. (Breaks to watch Dr […]

Amelie is 8

May 10, 2010 by

Happy Birthday (on the 8th) lovely girl 🙂 I’ve been thinking of words to describe you – vivacious, audacious, outrageous, exceptional, intelligent, competitive, focused, perceptive, delicate, dreadful, adorable. You’ve been spectacular since the minute you were born. These last few weeks, yet again, you’ve awed me with your intuitive ability to understand, to comfort, to […]
