The every day lives of our children

I was looking through our photos and found all sorts of other ones of the children from the last couple of weeks, some that Michael or I have taken and some that they very clearly have taken themselves. It would be a shame not to take a look at some of them here. So here's a little selection. Hope you enjoy seeing them 'in action'.

Here's the friendly bug that the children found on the sand pit in our back garden. They were fascinated.



Peter running races - round and round and round. He's pretty fast now. Michael and I have to run to keep up when he runs, which we didn't used to have to do. I suppose he is three now though.



Peter covering up the newest potato plants as they grew. He was always first to spot that they needed covering, and off to get his "digging thing" from the shed - not quite got the name of that one down yet. :o)




Michael sat Samuel down on the car mat while everyone else was playing together for a while. He seemed especially fascinated by what Peter was doing, as he often is.





Ceri and Samuel.



Michael having some time with Samuel.



"What are they doing over there?"



Rachel and Peter were having a beanbag fight! Peter throws hard and fast, and Rachel wasn't going to let him get away with it - she was having too much fun - so he hid!




Talking together.



Giggles. :o)



Time to rest now.




Not of the children, but grown by them - I like the flowers.



A sand wedding cake.



Putting on their latest theatrical performance.




Samuel at 12 weeks old,



and with his big sister Sarah.



Taking a look at some playmates,




and laughing at the best one of all - Daddy.



Eating a very yummy bee!



Seems to be a pony jumping competition.



Samuel listening to Daddy singing



while his sisters play a game of magic horses and unicorns,



all from a very comfy seat.
