Merry Christmas 2009
Our first attempt at a Christmas letter and we are now firmly
into the grand-parent stage; who said it got easier? (Not true)!
Less words and more pictures and here they all are. Thomas the
eldest and the youngest, his sister Lydia — letting everyone
know, she is not going to be left out by the boys. Alex, Michelle
and these two live at Redcar; whereas Carl & Vicki are just round
the corner from us with their son Jules [we have been known as
the convenient store]. Jules is just about to walk any day now and
says a few words clearly; like abracadabra! And screams when
you sing crocodile.
We really do feel like three very different grand parents as each
one of them are at different stages and very different characters.
Jules and Thomas play well together and Thomas is learning to
cope with a little sister [just wait till she is running around]. Trips
out at the weekend have been frequent and the pressure is on to
get a 7-seater [we will see]. During the poor weather it has been
hide and seek around the house and making Big Trucks out of
cardboard boxes [granddad likes that].
Vanessa and I escaped to Spain for a week with family and
friends from Kent; 14 of us and we had a great time. Work with
the young people has been manic, Vanessa at East Coast Training
and me at Doorways [Saltburn Christian Projects]; we love the
work but need to escape at times. Signe is from Denmark and is
working as a volunteer for 10-months at Doorways, she is also
staying at our house and soon became part of the family. Signe
has introduced us to Gnomes and there are a number around the
Christmas decorations this year.
Knitting has been Vanessa’s passion this year, cardigans and
felting handbags; however, the Nintendo DS has took over
recently and oh yes, the X Factor. Brother David’s blog site for
me has been fun to do but I am still writing chapter one of the
book “Long journey home” perhaps I will complete the first
chapter by the end of the year.
Merry Christmas and
Lots of love and every blessing for 2010
