Wow, I haven’t written a blog on here since January, 2017, which makes me sad. There are so many treasured moments that you quickly forget, I wish I’d continued to document them on here. But oh well, better late than never!

Two years and and four has changed to five! Little Arabella is nine months already! Wow, not sure how that time passed so quickly! As of yesterday Arabella learnt to pull herself up to standing position and can now climb up the two steps in our living room, oh boy we’re in trouble!!! Caught her red handed in the pantry! The boys of course find this hilarious! Darwin was trying to help her walk today, she hasn’t quite figured out how to move her feet, but I’m sure it won’t be long!

She was very keen this morning to help pick out her clothes, diva already!

The boys are almost done for summer. Hugo will be moving up to Kindergarten in September and it can’t come soon enough for him! Every day he comes home with a few pages of a book to read and instead he reads the whole book, it’s pretty impressive and a stark contrast from how his brother was! Hugo is hilarious, he says funny things all the time. He was talking about bald people the other day and asking why we don’t grow hair out of our forehead (valid question), he calls peoples bald patch their hair spots! We had a babysitter the other night who brought her boyfriend, Sean with her. Hugo woke up the next day and said ‘I really liked Shell, he was so fun”! Apparently he spent the evening running round saying ‘hallelujah’, Darwin pointed out that Hugo had no idea what it meant and said he knew that, but his friend says it all the time. Fair enough.

Darwin is also thriving this year, can’t believe it’ll be his last year at lower school in September. He is about to graduate book 1 of violin. Wow, it’s been an arduous battle, but he has stuck with it and progressed phenomenally, we are very proud of him.

Two weeks ago they did a Run for the Cows at our local farm. We had to be ready by 6:30am on a Sunday and it was raining ate and dogs. Usually Hugo would be very hesitant to participate without one of us, but off they both went and they both thoroughly enjoyed it and loved starting the morning that way. They both came home with big medals and a thirst to run even further next year.

It was American, Mothering Sunday last week. Darwin invited me to school for a special surprise where the class had learnt several songs, had baked us breakfast, planted us flowers and had written about fifteen pages on why their mummy was so special! It was an incredibly touching and special morning!
I’m particularly fond of my book cover! He promises to turn it into a full length, super hero book!

On Mother’s Day it rained, again and we went, (Darwin reluctantly) for hibachi. Looks like he had a terrible time, right?!

We then spent the next two and half hours driving round our area taking pictures of local businesses for his A-Z Community project. Darwin would dash out in the rain, Daddy would snap a quick photo and run back to the car. We got all but X, fortunately we had no reason to visit the hospital. It’s almost Wednesday and Mummy still hasn’t gotten that shot. You know what I’m doing tomorrow!!
