... early in the morning.

Well, the pile of dishes I have woken up to this morning is pretty shocking! However at 7.30am I would much rather enjoy some Ben and Jerry's and blog... ok, so its frozen yogurt - i still have muchos pregnancy weight to lose. I figure, eating this early in the morning I have all day to work it off instead of eating in the evening and letting it grow and grow on my hips. Needless to mention that Finn is sitting almost on top of me - what can I say but he is as big an ice-cream fan as his mummy! Rosa is now sitting on my neck and making this a little more than difficult. She is such a little climber, and very very snuggly, so cute!

So, May - what a month. First off Rosa turned 2, 10 days later Finn was 3, 5 days after that Lee became 35! Birthdays and cake galore. We enjoyed more than one energetic and funfilled trip to 'Toys R Us', took the kids out for dinner and generally had a jolly time making their birthdays special. And for Lee's special treat we made the dreaded journey north - first time with 3! Zach slept the whole 4 hours - what an angel he was, and Finn and Rosa watched DVD's on my netbook. Winner.

Spending the bank holiday weekend with our family was so much fun. Most of the family were meeting Zach for the first time and he didn't fail to inspire many a 'awwwws' and 'coos' and general mushy baby talk (he really is a dream). We just cannot wait to be back home with our family, we miss you guys so, so, too much!!!

Yesterday we had a very intimate Naming and Blessing of Zachary Michael Robinson, which was beautiful. Lee blessed him that he would have a peaceful and calming influence in whichever home he lives. And this really has been the case so far in ours. He has clamed our lives down so much, and given us a new focus and a dynamic that was desperately needed. He really is a special little Spirit. I know Finn and Rosa feel it too. I just can't get enough of him, love him to bits!! Love them all to bits!!

Finn disappeared, and I found him in Aunty Kim's bed with his cousin Sam watching Batman!
