Here is 2012

Here is 2012 and it snuck in quietly for us.Just Kim and I at home with a couple of drinks and Jools Holland on the telly. Not very exciting but at least I didn't lose a day which has been know in the past. Must be a sign of getting older and wiser.

We went over to Charlotte and Scotts and whilst there Frankie got out the scrapbook albums that I made when she was first born. I can't believe that was in 2004 and I was amazed how good they looked with her baby photos in. I have not done any scrapping for the last 3 years but that made me want itch to get back into it. I have a wonderful book by Sue Roddis that my good friends Anne, Carol and Angela bought me for my 50th that has lots of albums to make. Maybe it's about time to dust my stuff off and get going again. I know the kids really liked the ones I did in the past so maybe now is the time.

I'm not sure if the weekends have less hours in them but boy do they fly by. Kim and I have been back at work for 4 days and it has felt like a very long week. We went out for a walk today part of the New Year get fit campaign. Walked all along Warsash seashore past the Academy and onto Hook Park . There were surprisingly a lot of people about and I did pop off a couple of snaps of Kim and him of me. I am sure the camera lies as he does make me look somewhat attractive although the windswept look is not so good.

Days leading up to 2012

 
We had a brilliant break over the Chrtistmas period with family visiting and going to visit family. We had Audrey around on Christmas Day and had a great time. She seemed to enjoy it and went off with her hamper of goodies for her to dive into when she needed a fix.

 I took this photo of Alex whilst we were waiting for Kim to arrive back and Alex took this one of me.

We had a brilliant Christmas with all the troops on the 29th and I can't believe that another year has passed. It it traditional to have a family photo and this year it had to be inside. There is always much hilarity over the camera timer switch and will I make it into the photo in time. This year sadly Alex was missing for most of it as he had to work but he arrived back in time for adult present opening and the kids welcomed him with open arms.

All the Troops except the boy.
