Tynemouth

Here are Rebecca and her pal Lily just hanging at their favorite park. It's in our village Tynemouth and has a playground, a duck pond, and a cafe for mom to get coffee! Not a bad view of the beach either:)

Finn Mitchell Hilton

Minor event to put on the blog...Finn arrived April 15th, 2010 at 10:07am. He weighed in at 8lb 7oz and 21 inches long. Rebecca is totally in love with him and came to get us in the hospital after our 12 hour visit. And no, the NHS did not kick us out, I was excited after such an easy labor to sleep in my own bed!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

All I got for Christmas was my two front bottom teeth and loads of lovely presents from friends and family! Thanks to everyone and here's a few snaps...

Football, Soccer, whatever you call it, I'm too old!

My first game back after having Rebecca was at a local high school against 16 year olds...not what I call fun. I spent the entire 90 minutes as Captain (yes, I said 90 minutes) watching the back of some skinny stiker after she toasted me numerous times! Rebecca and Wayne came to watch, fortunately, we drew 2-2 so I wasn't entirely humiliated. (Just couldn't walk for two days)

Finally!!!!

We finally managed to catch a giggle on camera! We think it's because she was deliriously tired (as were her parents), but she found her swing particularly amusing today for some reason.

Halloween

Well, without a trick or treater in site, we ate all our own candy (sweets) and dressed Rebecca up for pure parental comic value...I don't think she is a big fan of this particular American tradition, but as a 4th of July baby, she doesn't have a choice!

Back in England...

...back to reality.

...back to baby groups.

...back to coffee mornings.

...back to work - oh wait, thanks to Socialism I won't be back till December - YIPPEE!!!
