Advent spiral.

Charlie lighting his candle.

Advent,advent a candle burns

Advent, advent a candle burns,

First one then two then three then four,

Then comes the Christ child at the door.

Peace and joy and light at this solstice time.

Snowy fun.

No need for words really, just lots of lovely snow, fun and sledging.

Christmas 'Quackers'

Warren took this photo and I just couldn't resist posting it :)

I took His Hand And Followed.

My dishes went unwashed today. I did'nt make the bed. I took his hand and followed. Where his eager footsteps led.

Oh yes, we went adventuring my little son and I.

Exploring all the great outdoors. Beneath the winter sky.

We wandered past a crystal stream, we wondered through a wood. My kitchen was'nt swept today, but life was sweet and good.

That my house was neglected, that I did'nt sweep the stair. In twenty years no one on earth, will know or even care.

But that I've helped a little boy, to noble manhood grow.

In twenty years the whole wide world, may look and see and know.

Our boy is 4.

Quite allot has been going on since I last posted here, one of the more lovely things is, our boy had his 4Th birthday. No longer the toddler but the very inquisitive, energetic, confidant beautiful little boy who fills us with love every day.

Hurray....birthday tea. (oh and if anyone reading my blog isn't to happy about me posting pics here just let me know :).

Charlie and his big sisters waiting for birthday pizza :)

The birthday cake at home with Charlie aka spiderman blowing out his candles on his racing car cake.

The birthday boy blowing out his candles on my home made vegan cake (oh and I was very worried how it would taste but went down very well!).

Witton Country Park.

Finding treasures in the Autumn leaves.

Daddy made boats.

The very beautiful Witton Country Park nr Blackburn...a wonderful find from this brilliant book, ''All Terrain Pushchair Walks, Lancashire, By Kathryn Wood. Our day in nature was made all the better as we actually met the author of the book as we were coming out of the cafe. I was holding the book ready to follow the route and Kathryn was sat with her family, when her husband spotted we had a copy of her book and stopped us for a chat. We now have our very own signed copy and were thrilled to meet Kathryn!

Adventure boys having fun.

My two adventure boys.....oh how I love moments like this :)

Never mind the likes of Bill Oddie, we have our very own little birdwatcher!

This boy just loves being out and about in nature.....yaay for Autumn :)
