Me and my cousin Stuart.
He's a cool dude from north of the border!

I was kept busy in Scotland entertaining Great Granny and Granny Shelia. A couple of goos and gahs and they were outty in my hands!

Granny and Auntie Ellie. All smiles - Can you see where I get it from!

More wine pleeeaaaase!

Yep, still looking cute in my stipey trousers, no doubt about it!



Off roading with granny in our trendy boots!

Dad looks such a muppet on a Wii !

Mmmmm, tastes salty?

Follow me troops,


There be eggs in them there flower beds!

... and this is what you do with them!

Right then . . so the family loves me, I get it. From top to bottom, from Great Grandmas through to Great Aunties and all in between they are all pretty keen on it when I smile and make coo noises!!

Trendy square specs- check,

Toothy grin- check

Wicked Auntie to hang out with- check

Looks like I'm all set for an easter egg hunt!

A couple more shots just for the hell of it!

Not only have Mum and Dad been busy with me and Isabelle, but the building work has started on the extension to the house! Its going to be messy around here for the next couple of months, but there might be some hunky builders hanging around the place! - love, Madeleine

Yep, once again its been a while. Sorry, but the crumblies have had alot on their plate recently and there wasn't a chair near the computer, so I couldn't reach the keyboard.

Firstly, since the arrival of Madeleine I've been putting some thought as to how this blog will come together in the future. The plan is as follows:

- The web address will remain the same (so you won't have to change your 'favourites',
- From now on its will be called 'Isabelle and Madeleines' blog,
- I'll be retaining editorial control (atleast until Madeleine can spell as well as me!) but content will be generated by the pair of us,
- Mum and Dad will be retained consultants assisting in the technical bits (we need someone to take the photos!).
All the best for easter - Isabelle

No doubt about it, me and big Sis have been getting on like a house on fire. Isabelle has been teaching me the art of counting from 1 to 10, putting Barney in his place and keeping Mum and Dad up at night. Two months in and I'm already growing into a big girl although havn't yet worked out how to fend off the bone crushing bear hugs!

So far Dad thinks I'm a good deal more considered than my sister because I wait until the fresh nappy is on before filling it! Oh the fun I've had with him! More photos to follow -love, Madeleine
