...on the first of our summer trips. School is finished and Lauren is now "offically excited" about going to Center Parcs with our good friends Ann, Neil, Sarah and Grace. It is our fourth time to Center Parcs and the girls absolute love all it has to offer. Seriously hoping for a some dry weather and a little sunshine, (the wellies are packed..just incase)!!
I will hopefully have some photos share on our return, so until then...have a good week!

A Special Tribute
Just a short post to pay a special tribute to my dearly loved Papa who passed away peacefully yesterday. He led a long and happy life (91 years) and although I am very sad, I am thankful that he is now at peace and has gone to a better place.
I am thankful for the memories and thankful that he got so much joy from seeing Lauren & Amy and watching their antics. He will be missed by us all.

Oops...
- I haven't posted for a while!! I seem to be busy doing other things, taking Lauren to meet her new teacher, attending parent/teacher interviews and receiving the first school report, which I might add we were thrilled with!!, taking more photos for my final 2 photography modules, enjoying the good weather, crashing my car into the house (yes you read that correctly!!), you get the general idea.
Janine on her blog had created a photo collage of what she had been doing and being inspired by this I made this one tonight:
Raindrop - from my latest module, creating a sense of movement
Amy playing peekaboo between the steps of the slide
Lauren's latest fascination - ladybirds and all things "mini-beasts." They have just completed this topic at nursery.
Getting up close to a CD sprayed with water to create abstract art for another photography module
Fancy a drink? Painting with light using a torch for another photography module
Lauren enjoying the sunshine
A rare shot of my girls together, enjoying some cooling refreshment on a warm day (I was also experimenting with fill-in flash for my last module)
Some Hama beads up close- why?
Random flower in the garden, up close and against a fab blue sky
I made a trip to Eden Pottery the other day with the girls, Lauren was warned not to touch anything and Amy, much to her disgust, was tightly strapped into her buggy!! I am ashamed to say that I have never been there before, however I did buy some teachers presents and made a mental note to return and sample the delights of the coffee shop, minus children!
To date I have refrained from voicing my concerns on-line about Amy's speech - or lack of it. However, she is really making progress of late and is saying lots of new words and putting them together. Yesterday we went to have a nosey at a housing development near to us and whist viewing the upstairs, Lauren discovered the bathroom and announced to us "look at the big, big bath!!" Amy equally thrilled at the size of the bath pointed at it and in her loudest, broadest Northern Irish accent shouted, "big big baff!!" Couldn't help but smile! :)
Enjoy your week!
