Still busy!

Mom has left, and arrived safely home. It was sad saying goodbye, I had to shed a few tears as I shut the door.

But Jett is back!

And the busy-ness doesn't end! Tomorrow we are heading up to Halkirk, Lord willing. Likely, we won't have internet access for the next three weekends, sorry, but that also means this blog will have to rest for a time too. :) But, it will be so nice to be somewhere where the kids have LOTS of room to run around...this should be fun :D ok and slightly hectic for the first while as we "resettle". And as usual there is so much to get done (packing etc) and I am being lazy writing this post...but, the clothes are all packed. A toybag is packed, lunch is already made and the snack bags are done, diaper bag is filled, and the toiletries are nearly packed as well... so I guess I have been somewhat productive. :D I just hope we can take the double stroller or else taking walks will be completely impossible (or extremely hard and therefore quite unenjoyable).

So hopefully you will hear from us (here) when we get back during the second week of August. D.V.

Oma's visit (part 2)

Just a few more pictures of mom's visit here with us. This again was taken at Deep Sea World. The place is situated in an old quarry. You can also see the railway bridge that goes over the Firth of Forth (try saying that over and over really fast!)

The next day we popped off to Scone Palace. This is where the kings of Scotland were crowned. Mom really liked this palace. I did too because they let all three kids go free (Amy should've been paid for).

This is the top of Moot Hill, here Mom is sitting on a replica of the Stone of Scone. They crowned the Kings on the real stone of Scone, I think? (Yeah, I was paying "alot" of attention... :D )

It was a good spot to get pictures, however the stone needed a good clean.

Wednesday Mom went to town and spent money at Markies (Marks & Spencers). That place has a lovely selection of skirts.

Thursday we went to the Library (Mom has pictures of that) it was a rainy day, so it was great to have a place for the kids to go to play and read.

Friday we went shopping again (but I only bought a book for Amy for only £2.99) and then we had a lovely coffee at the Mustard Seed cafe (it is also a Christian bookshop hence the name of the cafe, but both Jett and myself were surprised how many good sound books were there.)

Oh, and now it is Saturday and we aren't going to do too much besides maybe a walk to the park. :)

Oma's visit

Only a quick post here, as I need to be getting ready for the prayer meeting tonight. Here are a few pictures and a clip of our time with Oma!

Poor Oma had to read and reread the three books she brought for the kids.

Taken at Deep Sea World, Edinburgh.
