Happy New Year - 80's style

Well,

we got away with two posts last year (!), but we'll do better this year, we promise! (may be 3 or 4?)

To kick off the new year, we hosted an 80's party! I know it looks awkward on the photos - having an adult 80's party in a daycare setting, but hey, we worked with what we had.

Bobby made sossage rolls, and I am quite proud of my Pac-man cake.

We enjoyed few days off around the holidays, but now is back to business and madness! Bobby got new orders, so we are staying in San Diego for a few more years. I am already back in college to get couple of more classes before I trasfer in the fall to pursue my Bachelor's Degree in Child Development.

Tyler has grown so much, and I can't believe he is starting school in September! He is a handsome little devil!

Where to start!

Hope everyone is doing OK. News from the UK - first my sister Trudy is pregnant - woohoo, been a while in the making, so well done sis.

Right back on this side of the pond, lots going on as always, but the best news was Tyler learning to ride a bike, we tried this about six months ago but he was not ready, then Alex sent me a vid of his boys on bikes which got me thinking that it was time to try again. Well I was not wrong withing 20 feet or so I had let go and he was off, one of my best memories to date for sure.

I flew to Hawaii for a week, and when I got back I found this little creature sleeping on the couch. Vania wants to call her Kate, but Tyler wants to call her Puff!

So meet Puff (the black one)! The other fat creature is Max, who will be 2 in August.

Also Vania came out crying with laughter and asked if I putt the hedgehog between Max's legs (It was not me) which can only mean Max has thing for other animals. Still not sure what the hedgehog was actually doing! Meeouw!

Somewhere over the rainbow

There we were in sunny San Francisco, I was a little disappointed as I was looking forward to some cooler weather, but sun shades and sun screen was the order of the day. we had a blast everywhere we went. We were very proud of Tyler, as he walked everywhere with us. And if you have kids you will understand what a massive feat that he over came, and let me say we walked for miles, the whole length of Lamont street at one point.
We did all of the touristy thing you are required to do, and even had time to go and see the giant red trees in Mir Woods, very cool stuff.

And then this weekend we were invited to a murder mystery party, Pirate style, we had a blast and I got the Emmy for my, well my, you know, my........ well for being me at a party really.
I really do need to give this acting thing a go.
OK love to you all, hope to see you post some some comments soon.

Bobby, Vania & Tyler
