It is important to wash off the sun cream and the clorine after a long day in the pool. Here Kaelyn is the great big sister and offers Alex a helping hand to get rid of it all!

These days we have to do things a certain way. How we have to do it (it can be anything from how we brush the floor to how we make chocolate milk) depends on Her Royal Highness, the Princess!…. Some proper personality traits coming out these days, although in the midst of it, it doesn’t necessarily feel like traits (or proper)….

Googles is her latest purchase. To be used during swimming classes, bath time or (alternatively) when ever HRH feels like it…. Looks snassy though!

Alex is also starting to learn about the advantages of having a (very) experienced (3 year old) big sister! All sorts of food and scraps is going his way, doesn’t matter if the dad/mum wants it to go that way. In exchange for the cheerios, bread, cookies, chocolate (what ever it may be), all he has to endure is some slight torture in the form of pinching (lovingly), crushing (lovingly) or smacking (lovingly). All of those are very acceptable to the little dude who just about can’t get enough of the big sis….

How about the mum & dad? All fine (but a tad sleep deprived)!

Cute! Let me rush and assure you that the facial expressions does not reflect the quality of the food! Mummy’s homemade yummies are really yummy!….. Can’t really say that Alex have a favorite yet, although he has progressed a bit since this little movie was shot….. Luckily!

Today we got the Xmas decs out and tomorrow it is back to work and back to the routine….

Alex started 2010 with the arrival of his first tooth! Kaelyn started the new year with realizing that her birthday is coming up very soon! We are well and truly blessed by having these little two munchkins!

Those very same munchkins are also (probably) the reason why we didn’t get to see even one of “The 50 Biggest Movies of 2009″ (according to The Times) on the big silver screen. That said, we did get to see “Angels and Demons” last week since the DVD was in my Xmas stocking…. If there is one New Year resolution; it is to get to the movies more frequently in 2010!

Happy New Year to all from the munchkins and the deprived parents!

Just about 2 1/2 month since our last update… Don’t know what happened with time, but somewhere between sleepless nights and sneezes and coughs it must have slipped by!

We are all well. Alex is now 4 months and 2 days old. Kaelyn is 3 in a month. Jane and I are planning our next trip to the cinema (probably sometime in 2015)…

The other day in the car (going to the shop) a little voice came from the back seat: “are we almost there yet?”… Our little girl is growing up fast!

Xmas-plans are progressing. Santa has been informed about Kaelyn’s wishes (scooter), decorations have been replenished and the tree will be purchased next weekend. This Xmas we will also have Jane’s dad and nieces staying with us, so it will be busy house.

Ho-ho-ho…. almost there!

7 weeks on and we are settling in and trying to find that oh so important routine! Still a bit hectic and unplanned, but we make up for it in enjoyment! Although sometimes it can be hard to find enjoyment when the little monkies plan their sleep patterns to not match, or when both want attention NOW, or when nappies have to be changed one after the other…. But still, very enjoyable if you just take it as it comes!….

We are all doing well (more or less). Kaelyn had a proper little fall down the stairs the other day (as we were stressing to get in the car and go to Newbury), no permanent damage! Then she had a proper little bump as we were shopping the other day. Decent amount of blood, but she was very brave. She does how ever remind us about her sore knee every so often…. Alex have had a bit of a cold the last few days. Not easy to figure out the breathing bit when your nose is blocked and you are only 6-7 weeks old…. Bless!

As for Mum and Dad… Bit tired, but still going strong!

more soon! when energy returns….
