Man it's been a while since I wrote in here!
Loads of things have changed. We've got an 8 month old little boy who is an amazing blessing, we've moved house and J has a brand new contract.
I'll start with our wonderful little boy.
Heres our little man at Christmas
(Josiah at 3 months)Today (4th Feb) he had his first swimming lesson. He's a real water baby and seemed to love splashing around in the water. I'm so glad that we got a place for him. He's a very happy little boy. Always smiling at everyone. We're constantly getting comments from people around us about his beautiful blue eyes and beaming smile. The only issue is that most of the time he'd rather be looking around at all the people around than eating.
Our little 3 month old boldy!
He's been having solid food for a while now. This is picture of him having his first carrots puree. He tried tons of things. He's not a big fan of fruit but we keep giving it to him in the hope that suddenly he'll decide he does. He likes eating finger food and getting completely covered in it!!
He's also had his first Christmas. It was a nice time together with our families unfortunately overshadowed with illness. J and I picked up the flu and we were both really ill for ages. Meryl was a wonderful nurse! She cared for Josiah all the time too bringing him to me everytime he needed feeding!!! We then went from London up to Shropshire to my family. It was a really nice time.
Onto other news
We got the keys for our new house at the very end of October - then the work started. God must have known because at the same time J's contract ended. So he spent about 2 months working on the house both day and night sometimes! We have had the electrics done and plastering of 2 rooms. We got to the point where we had to move in so in 2 days before we left for Christmas. We're all sleeping in our attic room and there are boxes everywhere. The middle floor is unusable completely except the bathroom but when its all finished it's going to look amazing! Now that J is working again it's all going to take that little bit longer to finish. We had no idea just how much time would be taken up looking after Josiah. It's meant that I've been able to do very little to help. He started his solids at the same time at the work began.
Heres our lounge!
Finally, J's job............. to cut a long story short ......... he's working back in the UK again!!!!
His contract ended in KPN and although there was more work for him to do he wasn't permitted to do it (long story). After a good time off we dicided that he needed to get back to it. So the next best thing was a contract in Hook in the South of England. He's staying with his mum Monday - Thursday then coming home on Thursday night. It' not ideal but its only for a time and we can work through it.
So til next time
