Hi,

Its been a while. Its been a busy few years! I haven't forgotten about you :D Just ran out of time to talk to you. Especially as you keep me so busy!

So, your Dad and I got married. Bought our first house and had another beautiful baby girl!

Hello Lydia! Nice to meet you! (Will add your stuff later having two of you has meant its not as easy to keep up to date)

I'm not sure what we will do in 2017 but each year since your arrival has marked huge milestones in our lives.

Lottie you have just danced in your first dance show.

Lydia you have started eating porridge! (AND anything you can get your hands on you hungry girl) You sleep Lydia! You Smile, you giggle and you make us all incredibly happy. I think Lottie likes you the best! Endless kisses and squeezes (Sometimes deadly squeezes that I have to stop :D)

Yesterday we said goodbye to Grandad Parish. You wont remember him Lydia but Lottie I hope you remember him at least a little.

Its been very sad. Things have to be arranged but for your Dad it has happened all too soon! We were hoping for a miracle or at least a little more time. He died of Cancer. Brain Tumour. We will make an effort to spend lots of time with Grandmas Parish to help shorten her days. He was a character that know one will forget!

I have lovely pictures and videos to upload! The best so far is Lottie meeting Lydia for the first time. We couldn't wait to meet you and Lottie was the most excited. You were nearly two weeks late! 7th of September was your due date! Auntie Chris came over from America to meet you and you left it to the last minute to make an appearance!

We waited and waited. You popped out in just over an hour... ish.

You both are currently playing at Auntie Connies house with Logan while I pretend to do some work and Papas house :D.

This weekend we plan to leave you for the first time with Granny Prue. Shes worried she might die in her sleep so I am under strict instructions to call in the evening and morning just in case. Ill let you know how that goes... Although she loves having you both on Saturdays making cakes and a mess! She spoils you rotten.

Grandma Cornwall was up at the weekend. You had the day together on Monday. You walked Watermead and had a picnic with Daisy, Suzie and Lily. Grandad Cornwall had to go back to work but loved the dancing and the cuddles.

Ok so ill upload pictures...

and I promise to speak soon I love you both so so much!

PS
Christmas was great fun will play you a video one day! X
