June 15, A Big Day Really
It's my five year anniversary of blogging today.
It will be spent researching radiators, stripping woodchip paper, taking care of babies, and installing kitchen cabinets.
It will also be spent celebrating Father's Day - Angus' first as a father of four. He enjoyed a Father's Day card presented by the babies (one corner slightly chewed), a step-up ladder, and a vintage 1960's VC-10 advert. He's also enjoying the bad baby moods I enjoyed on Mother's Day. At least the babies are fair (and hopefully the bad moods will pass.) Me, I gifted him with a morning shag. He can't say I never gave him anything, right?
Happy Father's Day to the dads out there.
And thanks for being here all this time.
-H.
UPDATED: Both babies gave Angus another gift - this morning both babies started rolling over, from back to front and back again.
And then ten minutes ago, Nora decided the time had come to sit up alone.
So she did.

Posted by: Mel at June 16, 2008 06:57 PMCongratulations, Helen. I think we should throw an e-party on your tenth blogging anniversary. I'll bring the virtual cake, but someone else is on the hook for the beer and wine.
Posted by: physics geek at June 16, 2008 06:39 PMWow! And also oh no! They're growing up, next they'll be driving, and in college!
Savor all the moments, and she is so cute, I want to sniff her head. Baby heads, and puppy breath. The two best smells in the world.
And happy father's day!
Congrats to the whole family! Your life is about to change again, but in a fun way since the babes can really play now. Enjoy!
