March / April



Here are some recent photos, mainly of the boys, both of which are growing fast! George has shot up again and is towering over his friends, Harry is putting on weight and has now started on solids. He is very content, full of smiles and finally starting to sleep through the night (fingers x'd!!)

The past couple of months have passed in a blur. George finished his first term at school, he loves going and can't wait to get his bag on his shoulders and get out the door in the mornings. We had a few Easter parties and egg hunts, plus lots of chocolate. Over the Easter weekend, we went to Rebecca and Michael's wedding (Wes works with Rebecca). They got married on the beach and afterwards the reception was held at their house. It was very different to what we are used to, but still lovely. The weekends have been full of birthday parties, car racing, golf, night at the dogs, football, bbqs and generally catching up with friends. The weather has started to cool down now, although the days are fairly warm. Wes still managed to take George to the beach yesterday!

We will have been here 2 years next month, not sure where the time has gone, but it is great to still be in touch with everyone back home xx

Skydiving


Yesterday we travelled inland to York for me to throw myself out of a plane. The jump was a Christmas present from Wes and is something I have always wanted to do. I thought at some point I would get butterflies or be full of nerves, but I was surprisingly OK. George got upset in the morning as he wanted to jump with me and asked me if I was scared, but I told him I would be fine as long as he gave me the biggest cuddle ever when I landed. As you can see from the photos, he was running towards me as soon as I touched the ground. I jumped from 10,000 feet, with a 30 second free fall. It was totally amazing, a bit chilly when you first jump out and really noisy as you free fall. It was a tad painful when the parachute opened, as you are yanked upwards, but the views on descent were amazing. I landed safely and would definitely do it again.....and higher next time!!!
