Theo in the Dales

 

Thanks to our Ywam organization we were able to enjoy a cottage in the Yorkshire Dales. The weather was good overall and we hiked more than Alathea wanted... Still it was a great time with family and we watched Theo as he did so many fresh things like swinging, rolling, and eating rice cakes!

Craft Garden

We did a special craft from various odds and end collected over weeks. It was a group project of creativity.

 

 

 

Kensington Kids

"We arrived at Kensington and we went on the boat and had lots of fun." says Sophia, which means she climbed the crow's nest and walked the plank! Then we went to the Italian fountains where they got wet with dad. Just the beginning of a week with the Grands.

 

Shiver me timbers

 

Ship ahoy!

Theo times 6 Months

 

He's coming along by leaps and bounds this boy. It's hard to keep up with the changes but here are some of the first six months of the little man's life.

Clare

Clare is another one of those Suffolk towns full of old houses that have been remarkably kept. Barbara was taken with the Ancient House built in 1473. There are castle ruins, an Augustinian Priory, and an ancient church all near the small Stour River by which we read more of David Copperfield after visiting the Friday morning market in Sudbury.

Lavenham

 There has been a market on the hill in Lavenham for well over 750 years. The timbered houses date back to Medieval times so the wood must be about the same age!
