One of my primary school teachers used to use the word 'autumnal' at every available opportunity! Every year when the season changed from summer to autumn she would have us writing 'autumnal poems' or seeing how many new words we could find from the word 'autumnal' etc etc. I think she liked the word autumnal very much & it's thanks to Mrs Dunn that the word is now forever in my vocabulary! :D
Anyway, Sunday afternoon the weather was gorgeous so we headed off to the park with two bikes & a scooter (our car is big but not big enough to get three bikes & six people in it at the same time!). It was good to be out in the sunshine for a brisk walk around the woodland & the lake.
The boys did need a lot of reminding to look where they were going but no one rode into telegraph poles or crashed into each other unlike the last time I took 3 boys & a pram out for a bike ride around the block alone (in a moment of madness I had thought it would be relaxing & fun!).
It was good to see the boys riding off down the paths enjoying a bit of freedom away from busy roads.
I had to share this photo of 'the boys' because it's so lovely! I took it as we all sat at the kitchen table after we had eaten our tea.
Annie Joy continues to grow (obviously!) & has lots of new 'tricks' including climbing the stairs & sitting on chairs all by herself (with varying degrees of steadiness & success!!!). She 'helped' me change the bed clothes & tidy away the toys today! Bless her little cotton socks! I do hope that I will get to blog again properly very soon (broken computer monitors, house clearing & sorting & the daily grind seem to be getting in the way at the moment!). In the mean time, I hope all who read are very well! TTFN!

Great blog - we like it.
Jordan & Lee
I wondered how long it would be before someone said Annie Joy had no socks on!!!!!! trust you eh Lee?
Well, my blog isn't as exciting as this one, but for anyone interested, my blog is now back up and running. hurrah
I really love reading your blogs! It seems to be getting better and more relaxed with passing months and years! (Or maybe you only have time to write it up late in the evening when you're tired!)
Mmm, so Lee's back with his blog too! I'll have a look at that.
Don't forget to look at my website - I've been mighty busy!
Stax o' love, Ken
Shes growing so quickly!

It's funny what you remember from school! We sang at LEAST once a week a hymn with "The trivial round,the common task will furnish all we need to ask!"in it. Your 'daily grind' reminded me of it. It's funny,when it's autumn it's my favourite season and then when it's spring that is! Nice isn't it? Gosh you tribe look grown up and very lovely as usual.
Love Mum xx
What a lovely day you had! Your pictures are just gorgeous xx
Aw! Elizabeth loved looking at this particular blog entry as she recognised your boys, and Annie~Joy from when we came up the other day! Altho she called Jordan, 'George' but hey ho, nearly there eh? xxx
