we had a family meal last night. it was a raclette and we all had to dress up fancy. esther was a fairy and kezia was a ballerina (ballernina as she says it). jane and i wore our bestest clothes
much fun (and cheese) was had by all
for every sensible family photo there must be an equal and opposite silly one where everyone pulls comedy faces (or vice versa).

here’s an old picture. it’s kezia reading to bella the dog in hull some months back.
spending time with my lovely wife !
here’s my mum teaching my daughters how to use a candle snuffer. there’s always some fire related fun going on when we go to visit !
kezia’s legs are a little short, but she can still do the foot pedals if we put them on a box.
we visited our local village church yesterday morning for their Good Friday children’s activities. it’s interesting visiting other people’s churches and it makes you think what it must be like for people visiting our own church.
after all the activities we went for a massive bike ride. unfortunately my bike had two flat tyres for most of the way. some kind souls came out of their houses at one particularly ‘low’ moment and lent us their pump !
when we got home the girls were exhausted despite not doing much cycling themselves (although i think esther does some with her tag-along bike).
after a family hour of midtown madness computer games we all watched Shrek 2 and went to bed !
esther did her first concert yesterday afternoon. i wasn’t able to go as i had to take kezia to a birthday party, but jane and esther’s granny were there.
esther recreated the scene with katie and kezia later in the afternoon. i tried to capture the sound in vision with a slow sync flash.
jane and i went out for an anniversary-meal last night. it was very good and we did lots of laughing.
hoorah for lovely wives (please note, i’ve only got one wife. i wouldn’t want you to get the impression i was supporting polygamy):
pudding:
there’s a great fairy exhibition going on in the Reading Museum at the moment. there’s some fantastic dressing up stuff for kids, as demonstrated by kezia and esther here:
the kids dressing up were cute, but the funny part was watching the mums and dads who couldn’t resist trying a few items on themselves.
i fell in to this category and esther insisted on taking a photo:
