Isabella & Florence are the twin daughters of our friends Alistair & Rachel, who also happen to be Timothy & Luke's Godparents. Last Saturday we went to their dedication service at church. Well, actually Lee lead the worship & small band & I played my trumpet. That was quite an achievement with all 3 boys there- they kept wanting to play my trumpet or hold my hand whilst I was playing! (Timmy is a natural trumpet player by the way & Jordan can make a decent sound through it, but Luke hasn't quite got to grips with it yet!). Anyway, it was great fun & the boys were really well behaved. I think the prospect of Florrie's chocolate cake might have had something to do with it!!
Before the service we arrived early so that Lee & the band could set up PA & do a sound check. The boys loved playing with Florrie & Izzy & helping to set out all the chairs.
This is Alistair & Rachel with the girls during the service talking about how they chose the girls names & what they mean & saying to God that they dedicate themselves to bring up their girls in God's way. Sorry it ain't the best piccie but I was looking after 3 boys & couldn't move around too much!
After chocolate cake & chatting to people we went to Sefton Park with the scooters & Jordan's bike to get rid of some energy! The photo below shows Timmy & Luke's different approaches to scooter riding!
We looked at the ducks & other animals on our way round the park. I think I gave this squirrel a fright taking it's picture!
Whenever we go to Sefton Park we always stop for a climb on Jordan's Chair which has been re-named as The Davies Chair now that Timmy & Luke climb on it to. We spend quite some time here & at some point usually sing 'I'm the King of the Castle'! Shortly after I took this photo Jordan did the most spectacular fall off his bike (his first real bike injury) giving himself a nasty cut on his knee & a few grazes on his hands & legs. Although it was horrible that Jordan hurt himself, it was fantastic to see how Timmy & Luke rushed across the park to help Jordan when they heard him crying. They really looked after him.
Jordan was very brave & hopped back on his bike & we headed off to the cafe for ice cream. I told you it was family tradition to have ice cream at the beach, well it's also a tradition here too ever since a friend of ours introduced Jordan to Mr Whippy when he was about 2 years old. Back then he would only eat the ice cream & never the cone!
When we got back from the park we found 3 pink balloons tied to our door! We thought the neighbours might have thought I'd had the baby! The balloons were from the dedication & the boys had asked Rachel if they could have a balloon each. They were SO excited to have the balloons & even took them to bed with them that night! ;O)
