What happened to May?

May came and went rather quickly and all that we acheived was a new lawn. It looks good, but boy does it grow fast! Something else that grows fast are the little guys who are getting bigger by the day. Martin is nearly 10kgs and over 70cm tall and Karlie....well, he can talk for Britain and his favourite subjects are cars and chocolate!

April showers? Nope..... SNOW

The weather looked good on Saturday morning so we decided to go to www.bockettsfarm.co.uk and have a wonder around and feed the animals. Karlie had a great time getting his hands slobbered on by sheep and goats and he was very adventurous trying out the trampoline and tall jungle gym. The weather started turning cold and grey so we headed indoors to warm up and get some food. What a great little tearoom, they had everything even Karlie's favourite, Marmite sandwiches! We headed back home and all was quiet in the car as the boys fell asleep.....ah peace:)

Later on Saturday afternoon it started hailing and we woke up on Sunday morning to a blanket of white snow, made us think we were in Vienna again!



Snow in April

Oh Vienna!!!

We've just arrived back from 4 days in Vienna where we went to Baptise Martin and visit the Austrian Family. Easter Sunday and the Baptism went smoothly, apart from having a broken video camera, the back-up having a flat battery and the back-up back-up having no memory card...but we still managed to take some footage in the end...phew!

We had a great time visiting the family at the 'range' and we got thoroughly spoilt by Christine, Michi and Tante Eva. And there was no stopping Karlie as he tucked into Uncle Gerhard's lunch...."more pork please"!

It was hell at the airport with two kids but Karlie enjoyed himself pulling his Thomas suitcase everywhere and in the plane chatting to all the people....he's a real charmer! Martie was an angel on the plane and slept for most of the way, there and back. What else can we say but......travelling with 2 kids is a nightmare, especially when the facilites are lacking.....thank goodness we live in the first world here in the UK!



Martin's Baptism

Time waits for no man

It's March, BONUS time :), and time to pay off those pesky credit cards. Martin is a few days away from being 4 months old.... weighing in at nearly 8kg while the other monster is a towering 1Meter as he reaches two and a half year milestone. Where does the time go?
