Josh, Berwick and alpackers

June 7th, 2009

The galleries for April and May are now up.

It hasn’t been a prolific few months for photographs but there’s some visual charting of Jen and Ryan’s new arrival, Josh, a trip to Berwick in Beth and Grahams new caravan and the County show at Corbridge.  Dave and Wendy also made their first trip down from Edinburgh but we have shamefully little evidence of that in pictures.  We did drink a lot of beer though.

Looking back at these pics from the last couple of months it shows how quickly Josh is growing, he’ll be designing and building his first playhouse before long…

There were signs the process on our prospective new house is picking up again last week but we still don’t have a completion date.  The chances of us moving in properly before we go on our epic holiday are looking slimmer as the weeks pass but hey-ho… what can you do.

We’ve had some very generous offers of applicances and furniture from people that are updating, if anyone out there is throwing something out let us know first please :)   I know where I can hire a cheap van for the day…

Grand designs here we come

Two new and exciting galleries up…

There are a bunch of Holly pictures up showcasing Watson and Arnies little girl.

We were at our prospective house this morning sorting a few things out and we took some pictures… before shots anyone?!  I even had a notepad with me this time, Ryan was very impressed.

Hope everyone is well and happy… :)

Property, prams and pics

April 11th, 2009

The February and March galleries are now belatedly up.

Since the last update nearly two months ago we have been to Birmingham to see Shona and Simon, away in Graham and Beth’s new caravan to Wooler, seen Snow Patrol, laughed at Rob Brydon at the City Hall and put an offer in on a house!  The latter is ongoing but looking positive.  There’s a lot to do on the property but we’re excited at the potential.  Watch this space for pleas for help!

We have been getting regular updates on Holly Grayburn with the latest pics showing how fast she is growing.  Jen is due to pop any day now with baby bean so we will have another baby to watch grow shortly!

A bean is born!

The newest addition to the Grayburn clan was born yesterday.

It wasn’t the smoothest births for Watson and Arnie but jelly bean is here now and that’s what matters!

I hear the hospital room they have is great though ;)

We hope to see some piccys of the little girl soon.

Uncle John and Aunty Andrea.

Mounthooly

January 18th, 2009

We’ve just got back from Winter camp at Mounthooly.  It is in a valley in the Northumberland National Park, the weather has been cold but bright.  Pics from this and a couple from the annual Grandma event are up.  I’ve also finally gotten round to putting a few up from New Years eve at Jen and Ryans to finish off the December gallery and 2008.
