Holland trip

We flew directly to Holland from Milaan to extent our holiday and we had the same if not even warmer weather. We managed to see the whole family and they enjoyed seeing baby bump. It will be the last time they can see it for next time thet can admire the born version! Baby blake gave the sisters a few hello kicks which was very attentive I think.

Easter break

This is our gorgeous niece Anna, Adriaan and Rebecca's little girl. They came to visit us easter weekend and we had a great time. Anna is such a cutie we love her to bits. It was lovely to get a feeling for what its like having a child in our house. Anna was certainly a very well behaved guest, she can come back, and I suppose her parents too!

Italian job

Gala night at amazing venue by lake. I've discovered a taste for champagne, it was served every night! Anyway I'll be good now.
Our sixties outfits!

We have just come back from a wonderful short break in Lago Maggiore-Italy and have got some lovely photo's to show you. Chris had a Spar conference and I was the fortunate lady who was allowed to accompany him! It was more a holiday than a conference but Chris will probably tell you it was hard work! Well the pictures tell you enough I think. We had to dress up for a sixties night as you can see and I think the Italians thought we were a bit crazy. They are not familiar with these themed parties on the continent!

latest bump

This is baby Blake at 27 weeks. Growing well as you can see!

wedding bells

Well, Im sure our loyal blog readers are pleased with today writings as we have lots to share, in contrast to the quieter weeks we have had before. I am not quite in league with my brother Aad's blog but I will try to be a bit more regular from now. First of all just want to share a picture of my lovely friend Victoria's wedding on the 24th March. We had a great day and they are a gorgeous couple. They are living in Manchester so we look forward to get to know Dan more. Victoria and I will still hang out together as girlies but she's no longer one but two!

bump inside and out

After some literally quiet weeks from baby blake another great highlight for us this week with the 20 week scan. How amazing was that! Baby is growing well and we had lots of fun watching him or her on screen. The sonographer measured long legs and a full stomach, so its definitely taking after its parents with our length and good appetite! I think baby had a growth spurt in the last 2 weeks because my bump has suddenly appeared as you can see! I can’t believe I am still only feeling baby move about once a day the way it was kicking on the scan! Anyway it is a lovely feeling when it does move and I know it will soon be very active!
