Catching Up

I know what you are going to say, it has been a while but things are busy here with my baby sister Emma, she is crawling and just about to walk life has become quite exhausting. Emma turned one the other day but I will save that for another day, in this post I will catch up with all the other stuff that has been going on in our lives.

A very sad thing happened in March, my great-nain who was 89 went up to heaven and we are all going to miss her. Here she is with me and mama back when I was just 1, my first visit to Wales. We love you nain.

This is the house where my grandad and auntie Alice where both born, I guess they didn't have hospitals way back then

Emma had her first Easter in the UK. Back here in the USA daddy let me eat chocolate until I was almost sick, you don't want to know what else went on when mama was away but it involved having doughnuts for dinner

Emma's first go on a swing, she looks like she loved it

Emma had a chance to meet up with Darren, Auntie Melita, grandma and uncle Colin at the airport before coming home...
