We had a bit of a crappy day on Friday. Des' Aunt died and we attended her funeral. It was such a sad day and there were lots of tears. She had battled cancer for a number of years, and although I never met her, I heard lots of things from both Des, and his Mum over the years.
To cheer us up, we visited the kids on our way home. The twins have been poorly all week, and Emily had been sick overnight, but when we arrived, everyone seemed to be fine. Emily was playing on the trampoline!
I bought a new lens for my camera last week, so I was really looking forward to trying it out...And of course, my little model Thomas, was happy to smile and have his photograph taken a million times! Heh!
We probably spent 2 hours with the kids, and when it was time to go, we gave everyone kisses and cuddles...and Thomas cried his little heart out! So Des said "Are you coming with us?!" And he grabbed Des' hand and started walking to the car with us! This is the first time he's wanted to come with us...Normally he's a mummys boy and clings to his mum when we leave! lol!
As we were leaving (Thomas holding Des' hand), Des tripped over Emilys bike & Tom fell...But he wanted cuddles from Des & me & not his parents! He started smiling and then carried on walking to the car with us! When we handed him back to his Mum, he cried and cried with his arms open to us!!
When Emily was little, we lived 2+ hours away (like we do now) and didn't have a car, so we missed all of that with her. Since Tom has been born, we've made a huge effort to visit at least every 2-3 weeks and we've seen him in his first few days of walking, when he started saying a couple of words etc. I'm so happy that we'll get to be a regular visitor throughout the twins' baby years too!
So...Are you ready to see the photographs? I'm in love with my new lens!

I am so sorry to hear of Des's aunt dying thats really sad but on a happier note the children are as gorgeous as ever the twins look ever so serious LoL,
the weeks are going so fast we will soon be looking at all the wedding pics cant wait for that,
love jayne
Des hasn't seen his Aunt for a while, he didn't want to see her since she had cancer - he would rather remember her how she was. It was a lovely send off. A Welsh service, so I didn't understand too much of it, but it was lovely.
The kids are just beautiful - they are the lights of my life!! I have a new neice, too. She was born 2 weeks ago - but we've not met her yet. SIL keeps saying her friend is coming when we try to visit even though she only lives 5 minutes away! Oh well! I'm sure we'll meet her at some point!
The wedding is only 117 days away now! I'll be posting pics as soon as I can! I'm sure my friends will plaster them all over facebook before I even get home from the hotel 2 days after the wedding! lol!
