A walk for Bud

On Sunday Sept 21st my beautiful children took part in a sponsered memory walk to raise money for Alzheimers Scotland. We walked in memory of our beloved Bud, Murray's Grandad. We lost him in January of this year. He was trully one of lifes special people. He was a true gentleman. Fraser had a very special bond with him and actually gave him his very special name, Bud. We miss him so much and talk about him almost everyday. He was affected by alzheimers for around 2 years but on hindsight his memory had been failing for a lot longer. The upside to his illness was that Christine (my MIL) was very involved in his day to day care and as a result we all got to spend a lot of time with him, precious time that we may have wasted had he been 100% fit.

Sunday was an emotional day for us all but was worth every step that those special kids took. I am so proud of them and their acheivement.

This one's for you Bud

Knock three times

What a wake up! At 2am the other morning I was sleeping soundly. All of a sudden there was a loud knock at the door! I leapt out of bed and ran to answer it (dressed ever so beautifully in a long(ish) black vest ;) ) When I opened the door there was K standing on the other side! "more milk please mummy?" LOL I settled her back into bed and she went back to sleep and so did I, thinking how cute she was to have knocked!

Next morning I asked Murray if he had heard the door in the night, he replied " Yep, although I don't know who you thought you were going to answer the door to dressed like that!!!!!"

I hadnt even thought of that! Oops!

It's official!

The Princess is all grown up! Her first real day at Playgroup today! She was dressed an ready to go at 8.30, had her pack pack (back pack ;)) on and everything! Unfortunately it doesnt start until 9.15 but it is good to be organised!

As soon as we arrived she found her coat peg and ran straight in to get started! She did manage to blow a kiss to me as an after thought. She had almost as many smiles as I had tears!!

I am so glad to have her home again , my girl.

The Princess goes to Taytoop!

Today was a big day in the Hamster wheel! The Princess had her first day at Playgroup! (or Taytoop as she calls it) She was so grown up in her little playgroup polo shirt, I was able to stay with her today and she did great, I am sad and nervous for Monday though as she will be staying by herself for a whole 2.5 hours!!

What a big girl , where has all the time gone??
