Sick family

Well it seems for one reason or another that we are all poorly at the moment. Zach started off with a cough and cold waking himself up at night. Tom has the cold also and had difficulty breathing a couple of nights ago. It's quite scary when you see you child struggling for breath. We had him in the shower room so the steam would open up his airways which it did. Amanda also has the cold and is very tired having supported Tom through that night because I had the last day of my course to attend.

We're all on the mend though I think. Tom slept a lot better last night and Zach's sleeping on his side now which seems to help. He has a cushion behind his bottom to stop him rolling over onto his back.

We can look forward to a year of good health after this I truly believe. (I've had enough of feeling pessimistic all the time).

Courses - Finished

Just finshed my second course in the last 7 days. It's quite a lot to take in 2 courses. Early starts this week as I was commuting to Northampton from Swindon. Thats about 1.5 hours to 2.25 hours depending on traffic and time of day. Still, they were both very valuable.

Training

Just finished a training course for my work on Friday. It was at a place called Middle Aston House
and was residential. It was a great course about leading poeple. I have another course that starts on Monday. That one finishes on Wednesday then it's back to work.

It's taken some time but I did intend to put some photo's up that were taken at Christmas.

Here's the photo that was on people's xmas cards from us....

Happy new year!

Happy new year!

Christmas was great fun. Tom got to open all Zach's presents as well as his own and mine! He had a fabulous day.

Zach now weights 16 pounds 5 ounces. He can roll over from front to back and is making increasing differing sounds. He's changing so fast I almost don't want him to grown up just yet.

Amanda is back to work today after maternity leave. She's looking as beautiful as ever ;)
