Lani's 2nd Birthday

Ruby's Lullabies

Ruby is such a wonderful and affectionate sister to Lukie, as this little film from last night testifies and demonstrates her improvisational lullaby skills.

Snowy Roundwood Park

Roundwood Park is also absolutely spectacular when it snows - with everyone happy and talking to each other. We took a make shift sledge with us and Ruby wizzed down the hill and loved it.

Snowy Weekend

I absolutely love just being at home at weekends, with the four of us together. And the snowy conditions this weekend gave us a great excuse to stay (mostly) indoors and do things like bake cakes, cook big dinners, listen to great music on BBC Radio 6 Music, do homework and take photos. Lukie went from being a complete tantrum monster on Saturday to the most adorable little boy that there's ever been on Sunday. And Ruby was just brilliant at her swimming class, doing her homework, playing with lego and loved our make shift sledging at Roundwood Park on Sunday.

Snowy Runs

Here are some Instagrams from out running on Friday, and my most liked Instagram photo yet, and some from running along the canal tow path on Saturday morning.

K&D Dinner

On Saturday night, we had a farewell meal, of roast pheasant in a butter bean and chorizo sauce, for Kate and Dan - who are off on their holidays. We were also joined by Minkie and Samira and Roger and Pam.

New Year's Day

We nursed horrific hangovers with a walk and play in Queen's Park followed by heavy carbs at The Island.
