The end of summer.

Hiya. The end of September is very nearly here and we thought we ought to take some family photos... Here are a few.

And speaking of family, we had cousin Mark, cousin Georgie and her hubby Ashley out for dinner last weekend. It was lovely to see them all.

I was having a clean out of our photos and found some we hadn't shared...

A while ago we took the boys to a safari park. I have a feeling we enjoyed it more than they did but it was a very fun day.

Alby helped drive.

There were giraffes.

And monkeys.

An ostrich (Alby had to borrow a change of clothes from Gabe as he puked over his...)

Penguins.

A Ring-tailed Lemur.

Wash and Gabe.

And a Turkmenian Eagle Owl...

Our very exciting news of late is the we have been commissioned to make a 3D TV show for Discovery channel about Monster Trucks.

So we celebrated and Alby got a new monster truck toy.

It's very exciting and even better as it means that although Don is working very hard getting the show made he is home in the evenings and weekends. He's been having lots of cuddles.

Charlie is loving the park.

As is Alby, apart from when he face-plants in puddles and has to wear Dadda's jacket home.

Alby is getting really good at swimming. He absolutely loves it and doesn't need us to hold onto him any more.

He loves to push Charlie in the pushchair.

And has been taking a few spins in his car.

He also took a spin on his friend Nate's scooter which he loved. I think we might have to invest...

Nate stayed for dinner and they shared a bath.

Here are some pictures of some other friends we've been hanging out with. 

Playgroup was too much for Bella and Charlie.

Cerys and Alby are very sweet together.

And we met Denny Scwhass, he's a few months older than Charlie but not quite as big!

We now only have 7 more sleeps till Topsy arrives... there are some very excited people in our house - we can't wait to see her!
