A month of mixed blessings.

I have felt that my feet have hardly touched the floor this last month.

My middle child turned three, she is also completely dry during the day. Her speach is coming along in leaps and bounds, but we are waiting for an appointment with the Speach Therapist. She is a constant source of amazement to us, and every birthday is a very proud day. I also find it a time when I reflect to her terrible start in life, but I hope that in future years i will not think about it.

My baby is now one, that year flew by so fast. He had a great day with a little tea party. He gets more confident each day with his walking, and he is a very cheaky little chap.

Mr Sunflower was made redundant in the same week as his birthday, so it wasn't much fun for him. The owners of the restaurant decided to shut it, so there was nothing that could be done. However he got straight back out there looking for work, so we will see what happens. I feel a lot more confident this time because I have learn't lots of skills from people at the www.selfsufficientish.com its well worth a look, especially the forum.

Flossie Kitten

Meet our latest addition to the Sunflower family her name is Flossie, and she is 13 weeks old. She still can be a little bit shy but I can't really blame her in this mad house. The children love her and hopefully she will fill the hole left by our last cat. Here she is with the little mouse that I made for her.
