Two Years ago

Two years ago, a little boy entered my life and he has changed my life - as well as Mum's, and all our family! William Patrick was born on April 19th 2008, and celebrates his second birthday today!!



His Daddy is abroad at the moment, and couldn't celebrate it with us, but he seemed to enjoy all the fuss!
Elliot is fine too. He's fighting a virius at the moment but I am sure he will soon be back to full health! He is now pulling himself on things so you need lots of eyes on him!

"Oh Grandma, what big teeth you have ...


Elliot hasn't quite got the hang of reading, but he'll learn!

Just a few recent pics of the boys. Obviously they are thriving, and William has just got over the nasty virus what knocked him out for a few days. Unfortunately, Mum also got the same nasty virus. She spent a few days in bed, and only just beginning to feel better. She said that she really hopes I never get it.

A few weeks since I blogged. Everything is going fairly Ok in Jane's world. My niece is settling into work two and a half days a week, Elliot is enjoying nursery with his big brother two days a week and their Daddy is home for a few weeks too. There seems to be a bug flying around, as William has been off colour since Tuesday. He's just been lying on the couch, and hardly moving. Of course they pick up all the bugs at nursery, but this has totally wiped William out. He's only just beginning to move about and play a little bit, and that definately isn't William. He also isn't eating, so here's hoping he picks up in the next few days. He's been kept off nursery, but Elliot has been going. We only hope little Elliot doesn't get the same bug .... :(

Happy Birthday, best friend!!

Mum is celebrating her 70th birthday today, although she has had "two birthdays" this year! Me and Mum were invited to go next door, on Saturday, for dinner, with my sister and my brother in law, my two nieces and the boys too. We usually do this at Christmas etc, so it was going to be lovely.
About half an hour before we went in, my sister told me that she had arranged three of Mum's brothers and three of her sisters to be next door to celebrate with us too (and of course, their wifes and husbands too!) so me and my nieces were told to keep Mum away from the window, while everyone arrived. By the time we went next door, everyone was in, and ready. When Mum opened the door, she was totally shocked.
The ages ranged from 87 (Mum's eldest sister) to 7 months (obviously Elliot!) and it was really lovely. My sister, brother-in-law, one of my nieces and the boys will be calling in tonight, and probably a few other guests too. I can't think of anyone who deserves a nicer day. Happy Birthday Mum xxxx

Still around!

I really should concentrate on updating this blog more!
Nearly the end of Fenruary. All is as well as can be expected in "Jane's world", though both me and Mum have suffered from a cold. Mum has also been troubled, for about six months, with pains in his arm and her knee. After various blood tests and various visits to the Doctor, she's been diagnosed with osteoarthrist (And I know thats a rubbish spelling!) The best she can do is to lose some weight (not easy to do!) and take painkillers, and do exercises.
Mum will be celebrating her 70th birthday this coming Tuesday. I am so so blessed to have such a wonderful set of parents. We are going to my sister's for a pre-birthday meal today (because it is the only time my niece can get home) and we'll probably have a little celebration on her "official" birthday too.
My other niece (the boys Mum) will be starting work part time next week, so the boys will go to nursery two days a week. Elliot went for a check up after his scare with menegitis in September, two weeks ago. All seems fine, although they want to give him a brain scan, to check it out, as his head is a little large. However, Mum, my sister, and the boy's Mum have large heads, so we're not overly concerned. Obviously, when he has had the scan, I shall update the blog :-)
Elliot is coming on with leaps and bounds. He's seven months old now, and very very nearly crawling. William never fails to brighten up my days, when he comes to see me and Mum. He's 22 months old now (hard to believe!) and is saying all sorts of different things!

For Donna H, :-)

That is the most recent picture of "The Boys". Although I am "only" their Auntie, I absolutely dote on them, and William more or less frog-marches me to his toys when he comes to see us. Going to be fun when they're both old enough to be able to "play" with me!

Still Around!

I really should keep up with this Blog!. Nothing exciting in "Jane's World", everyone is fine. Elliot is six months old and thriving, while William never fails to bring light into our lifes!
