Dilemma

Most friends and family who started blogs at around the time we set this up have long since stopped doing it. I have been thinking of ending this one for some time. There's not so much free time these days. However, we will keep adding new pictures of the kids albeit less frequently. We'll try to update things here 3 or 4 times a month. I'm not convinced anyone reads this blog anymore but we like to look through it ourselves so will endeavour to keep it going. By the way, TV is being watched in this picture.

Sophie update

Sophie is getting more and more involved with school and its various after-hours clubs and activities (ballet, music etc). She is currently learning her letters which she is very proud of although she's not entirely keen on doing her homework. I think it's maybe a bit early to give a four-year-old homework to do but I was never really one for extra-curricular activity myself. Her confidence in water is really good now. She is happy to go down the adult flumes and jump of the 1.5 m diving board. She's started asking difficult questions about death and would like more information on exactly when herself and her parents are going to pop their clogs. If anyone has good answers to these weighty issues please let us know.

The Many Faces of Matthew

Matthew is growing fast. He has started on solid food now and is very keen to try lots of new things. He sleeps quite well at night and often sleeps all the way through although refuses to sleep much during the day (... which means he's a bit tetchy by bedtime). He's also becoming a bit of a chatterbox and likes to let out little whoops and squeels at random intervals. Most people seem to think he looks just like me but I can't see it myself. What do you think?
