Cara dropped her teddy in the bath (we'll never know why). When she saw it on the washing line she was a bit distraught - she does love teddy.

New Kayak
We decided YES.
Meriel went to Jersey yesterday for a kayaking trip and came back with this. It's a sit on top kayak (Islander Hula for those who care) which we can take to the beach and anyone can use. It's easy to paddle about but can also surf.
We took it to Vazon today and tried it in the small surf - it was fun:-) Even Jonah got to have a go. Modelled in this picture by Drew.

Try out Kayak day - Grand Rocques
Today we helped out at a try out day for people who want to go kayaking. The sun shone all day and there was an excellent turn out (I reckon about 60 or 70 people got to have a go). Even Lenny got to go in a kayak.
We're very temped to buy a sit on top kayak so that Lenny and anyone who visits can get out on the water (My kayak is very customised to my size). Even Jonah could have a go. Watch this space to see what we decide!

Jonah is 4
Although he still had to go to school today.
He's got a camera from his mum and dad and a tractor from his Grandma.
It's going to be a busy day.

Boogie!
Cara can now walk a decent distance (I think 58 steps is the record so far). She's also cornering quite well, which was a problem for her in the early days of walking. Now she just needs somewhere to walk to.

Cara's walking
It happened on the 11th May, I think. So we didn't get it on camera (although looking at the event through an LCD screen is highly overrated and can't really be classed as watching the actual thing), but Cara really walked. She didn't even seem to notice it, it was just a way to get from A to B without having to go through the hassle of getting down, crawling and getting up again. Of course we couldn't get her to do it again and it's been two days now without a repeat performance.

Cara, standing again
We haven't see a huge amount of the standing recently, but it's getting slowly more frequent. Ok, so to be honest we rigged the last (and first) image of Cara standing, but that was only because she had been standing before we got the camera out and wouldn't do it again - it was "representative" of her first efforts. This is the real deal as is shown by the face.
Nook
Good to have the cats back living with us again. They're clearly enjoying being around us - shame it's only until the building works start on the house.

Cara on the phone
After speaking to Catherine on the phone, jonah and Cara started playing with it. This is a picture of Cara copying us, although when there is really someone at the other end, she just turns her head to the earpiece to see what's making the noise - which slightly defeats the object of using the handset.

Jo's Bike
Jo is really into his bike and is currently enjoying riding around and around and around the Saint's View carpark (which isn't that big). Still, keeps him out of trouble.

Jonah's portraits of Spencer from Balamory
His drawings are starting to be recognisable. It's interesting to see that most body parts are correctly positioned except for the arms which come out of the sides of the head.
Cara's standing
Cara stood up (in fact it was yesterday), she crawled up on my leg and let go. It must have been for a while, because I had time to shout "Meriel, Meriel, Meriel, Meriel, Meriel, Meriel, quick, quick, quick, come here, come here" and she did and she saw - I make that about five seconds. Cara was naturally oblivious to her achievments.

L'Ancresse age illustrator
Good Friday - a walk up to the rifle range at L'Ancresse (no shooting today). Couldn't resist lining the kids up against their (approximate)ages and stocking up on birthday invitation materials.
