It's been a while

Sometimes life seems to fly by at such a speed! It's been ages since I looked at this blog and Tony reminded me of it earlier today. SO... there's so much to report on that has happened I do not know where to start.

Tony - now working in Nottingham City for Crytek UK. He gets to the train to work from the end of our road which is a huge improvement following his years commuting for 2 hours a day. His recent game Crysis 2 has been a huge hit (he was Lead Animator). When Tony's not working he's either playing with the children, watching football, taking photos, on his computer, DIY-ing our house, or spending time with me :D

Molly - 13 on Monday! Molly has had a difficult couple of years with her back. In March this year she had major surgery to straighten her spine using titanium rods. Molly has made an amazing recovery and we are so proud of her. She has now returned to school and we'll see how she copes.
Molly spends her spare time on her iPhone, having a 'lie in' and avoiding homework. She still reads lots and enjoys a bit of computer gaming every now and then.

Daisy-Kate - is a few weeks away from turning 6. She's a sensitive, cute and happy little girl who loves being with her siblings. She dances 4 classes a week, goes to Rainbows and swims. She is bright and works hard at school. Daisy loves playing with her toys (Sylvanians etc) and is still closely attached to her cuddly bed time toys too. Daisy still has a sweet tooth and loves nothing more than a piece of cake or two (wonder where she gets that from!)

Stan - Stan turned 3 1/2 last Sunday. He's made so much progress in the last 12 months... he talks, sings, shouts, and makes small world play with his trains. He's still a huge fan of trains of all sorts but also enjoys playing with cars, geomag and games with Daisy. Stan loves the Disney Channel. He goes to preschool twice a week and although he settled really quickly at first, since Molly's operation he's been more unsettled. Stan now takes little in the way of medication and has no lasting symptoms from his early illness filled days.

Me - well I'm just the same. These days I seem to spend less time saying my old catch phrase 'Why am I always chasing my own tail' and more time enjoying watching my beautiful family grow up. I am the proudest Mummy and wife - I am enjoying living 'happily ever after' ;-)
