Took Emma for her first walk last night. I held her hand and we just walked from the house to the church door which is about 50 metres and back. It was so cool, she kept pointing at the church saying “curch” and “ding dong” and we stopped for a “sit down” on the bench… Continue reading

Emma’s got a bit bored of “In the Night Garden” so we’ve been watching “Wallace & Gromit” and “Shaun the Sheep” after tea. Emma, the Cheeky monkey, always says “Dada” when Wallace or the farmer first appear on the screen, I mean, I don’t look like either of them do I? How cheeky!! Continue reading

Went to the Corkys for New Years eve and played “Your in the Movies” on their X-box. Using a small camera the xbox records you playing and acting in a series of action games which get you pulling faces, laughing manically, running or something equally silly.
