New Year

A New Year and all of the optimism it brings. I started a mental list as long as my arm of new years resolutions, but have yet to write them down - perhaps too overwhelming. However top of my list is keep calm, try to de-stress and it is ok not to pack everything in. I hope this will happen and rub off on my children as I feel we all need to go at a slower pace.

We had a great Christmas and New Year - albeit the scary storms we had in North Wales. Isobel had her first experience of a film on the big screen - "Frozen". Despite sobbing through quite a chunk of it, retrospectively, it was a big hit! Otherwise when it was sunny, it was down to the beach. Although winter, Isobel still tried to relax, making Angel wings in the sand:

Both kiddies had a ball:

Twelve Weeks

Elis is 12 weeks old - feels quite a milestone and I am sure he is having another growth spurt! Since two weeks old he has loved his baths - especially if Isobel is also entertaining (splashing) him.

Isobel loved having Nain and Taid to stay just after Christmas and they seem to have a calming effect on Elis! Heledd also met Elis for the first time yesterday:

Isobel's favourite game at the moment is 'sleep overs' and Uncle Alexander, who is visiting us from Oz, can be very patient!
