Jan-Jun 2011-pre Benjamin catchup!

So I took a few months off from updating the blog...opps...So here in one huge post are a few photos from January through early June...will introduce Benjamin in the next post...you can see glimpses of him below-in my rather large belly!This pic was taken about 2 weeks before Benjamin was born so I am looking pretty large and in charge...weird to see this pics now as it is just Em and Sam...without Ben!


Em's school had a sports day and Emma had lots of fun with the big kids...this is her friend from nursery-Samantha!

A natural runner!!




In the River Deveron up the road from our house.






Taken April 28th...still lots of time to cook yet!
Emma's first day of nursery-she was so good...told me right away I didn't need to stay at all. Big girl!

Our summer-which was in April this year-a fun day at the beach!



the kids love finger painting....what a mess!


Me early in April...
In March we went to Holland to see Peter's family...fun times to be together before Peter's sister moves away for a few years....
the five cousins
cuddling with Uncle Ediwn!
Baking with Aunt Karen
My favorite Brokaar tradition---the chocolate fountain!








Em loves jumping off this slide that Peter made...
Em is starting to write more and more-she is so proud of herself---and so are we!
Ria is gone :{ our good friend left us for a boy!!! but we are very excited that Ria and Andreas are together-but we miss them dearly!
