Sorry George, but genetics do sometimes suck
A better day

Well to be honest, beating yesterday wouldn’t have been too difficult. Today George got a new sleeping technique sampled on him – no more gentle cuddling and rocking for him. Military school stuff now – in the bassinet, on his side, rocked and patted until he passes out. No more cuddles and lovey dovey crap. ...
My first date

Hi everyone.
Today I had my first playdate. With a girl.
I slept through it all. Oops.
Love, George

If the doctor’s estimation of Rachel’s due date is correct, then this time next weekend we could be up at the hospital with a brand new baby. How utterly freaky. And a little bit scary. Gone are the days of our lazy Saturday morning lie ins, hours with the newspaper and a coffee (well, ok...
A few more photos from today and last night
Nothing to report – the Challis clan have successfully departed and as I type this, they should be sitting on a plane waiting to take off. We had a lovely dinner at the Peak Lookout Restaurant last night – just the grownups – and this morning the clan came upstairs for coffee, banana, biscuits and...
