Closing Down

Yep, closing down. No big shock there. I'm having trouble uploading pictures these days, I don't have time to screw around with it and I can't say that I have much to say these days anyway so, that's it, that's all.

Our snail-mail address remains the same, phone number is the same too, we even live in the same house in case you want to come out and see us in person. The blog will stay up for a while (considering I haven't taken down the one for the trip to China yet and our son's been here for almost two years now) and then it should also disappear.

Remembrance Day 2009

We once again took in our local community's Remembrance Day ceremony today. They do a lovely job. This year was a little more meaningful than other years since a friend (and fellow FE) of DH's died in Afghanistan this summer. His helicopter crashed as they were taking off from an enclosed area. A door gunner was also killed in the incident. It was very touching when both their names were read out in the list of the fallen during today's ceremony.

While the kiddies don't really get the significance of the event (and I'm not sure I want them to just yet), the ceremony is becoming a family tradition for us. What this really means is that we remember to take pictures. So, here are the comparison pictures from last year and this year.

J. was so cute this year. He insisted on wear his 'baptising clothes'. DH convinced him that he could wear jeans with the shirt vest and tie rather than the whole outfit. He was so proud of his outfit. As soon as he had it on, he ran into E's bedroom (where she was getting ready) and said, 'E., you think my outfit is really nice, don't you.' She told him that she did indeed think it was a great outfit and he was thrilled.
