Bouncing baby

As you can see, Elodie is all squidgy and lovely. She's a happy little thing and is interested in everything.

Cuddles, cuddles and more cuddles

These pictures were taken in February and March.

Katya is managing some pretty long walks these days. In this case, the hot chocolate and biscuits were a great incentive for us all to climb back up the hill from Ilam.

Grandma & Grandad's three lovely girls

December

The snow prevented Proud Dad from going to work for a few days, forcing him to have lots of fun with his girls instead!

Snuggling up in front of the fire.

Proud Dad whipped up a fabulous Xmas Day feast for us, Grandma & Grandad, Auntie Joanne, Uncle Kevin and Jodie.

It was all too much excitement for this little Santa!

The arrival of Elodie Sky

A week after her due date, once Elodie decided it was time to come out, she didn't mess around - labour was just 4 hours from start to finish and the beautiful Miss Elodie Sky Wells joined us at 2:06am on 4th November.
Katya is delighted with her little sister and has proven to be the best big sister in the world. Proud Dad is, of course, overjoyed with his two girls:

Proud Mum's dream came true this time - she was able to keep her baby with her and they left the hospital together within hours of the birth. We even got to celebrate with pink champagne and cake later on at home with the family. Happy happy times.

Elodie has a fantastic appetite like the rest of the family - here she is having a little snack in the Bongo.

October

Here's Proud Dad taking some time out from working on the house to have a snuggle with his little girl... always time for that!
And here's one of the Honey Monster chilling out... definitely plenty of time for that.

Kat dressed up as a panther for a jungle day at school. Proud Mum went along that day to join in the fun.
And here's a witch and the big fat baby momma.

September

The big event in September was Katya starting school (which is handily located just across the road from our house). Here she is having her breakfast on her first morning. Kat being Kat, she took the whole experience in her stride and was really excited to wear her uniform.

August

The highlight of August was the Just So Festival. We had a fantastic day making things, dancing, playing, eating, doing yoga in the woods and playing samba drums in a lantern parade.

Just a couple of photos of typical scenes in Katya's life: eating cake at a birthday party and walking it off in the fields and woods with Honey.
