Well life changes all the time

Well, scrap the oatmeal for Ronan. We've discontinued that now. I think he will be like Callum and just go from boobs to chicken nuggets! I only started the oatmeal to help his reflux, but it seems to have upset his tummy more. So....solids will be waiting till he can feed himself. Do you know Callum NEVER had one jar of baby food? He was exclusively nursed, when he started eating the little gerber puffs/snacks, and then one day I found him eating Karmen's chicken nuggest and chocolate chip cookie, around 7 months! LOL

We lost the Victorian house, they accepted someone elses offer. Pretty sad about that. It needed renovating and had a huge barn out the back where I could have made a business for myself (right next to home!) They've given us till the weekend to 're-think' our offer, but UGH I dont know....right now all I can think about is unpacking (all our stuff arrived on Monday from America) and I cant really think about finances/mortages and businesses right now....BUT on the other hand I dont want to 'miss the boat' and just stay in this NEW house. My DH would love a 'project' and so would I really, it's not every day you get offered a 17th century house *sigh*......

So, I play the lottery every week, you'd think it would be my turn ;)

What else? Oh my car got damaged in the 'container' I think where customs (aka wankers...) had been fondling around in my stuff, they left a trolley next to my car which then FELL onto the back of my brand new Minivan...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh so now that needs reparing. Other than that, everything seems to have got here ok. But my house is a MESS, how do you get 2 houses worth of stuff into 1? Donate alot, and sell alot...which is where I'm at now. VERY hard with a fussy lil pants like Ronan is...but I'll get there.

Ok, opinions on the house would be appreciated lol!!

Updated my webpage

So I thought I'd copy and paste into here LOL!! I know I'm lazy.

We have recently moved back to the UK and have settled in pretty well.

Karmen is 4.5yrs old and has started full time school!!! Yep, here in the UK they start a year earlier than the USA, so she's officially at school now. She loves it so much, although it's hard for me to not have her around, I'm happy she enjoys it. She's such a confident child, and so bright...I could go on and on, but I wont bore you with my bias and motherly ramblings. I will say she's coming on really well with writing, and can now read little simple books "It can talk" etc....she loves to learn.

Callum has got over the surprise of not being the baby anymore, and he's done really well. He potty trained over night at age 2yrs 2mo, just like his sister. He was in a 'big boy bed' by his second birthday, can sing the alphabet, can recognise letters and colors and he's fantastic at naming animals ;) He's quite a laid back child, when Karmen's not around he's sooooooooo quiet, but when she's here then he's really loud, he will fight her tooth and nail for something she's took away from him. But OH MY GOSH he loves his baby brudder. Or "My Wownie" his nickname for Ronan (aka. Rownie). I have added a new photo album and pictures of Callum acting Silly, he likes to get into the babies car seat and walker...then gets stuck *insert eye roll*. On the physical side, he's soooooooooooo strong I cant believe it! He picks up boxes that most grown ups struggle with, and I'm NOT kidding, we help setup the play group here in the village and put out toys etc..He was carrying a box full of toys, so a lady took it off him and was like "Oh my GOSH how was he carrying that, it's so heavy!" He's tall for his age, and weighs 41lbs now, but you can still see his rib cage. Hum, what else? He can play soccer/footbal really well and he's great at gardening ;)

Ahhh Ronan (little Rownie), as you all know he joined our lives in December 2005. He's growing really well, was 16lbs at his 4 month checkup. He had his 4 month shots and didnt even cry! What a brave lil boy ;) We battled Viral Menengitis at 7 weeks old, but he pulled through that just fine. And we are still battling his 'reflux' problem, but he started oatmeal mixed with breastmilk a few nights ago, and it's really helped with his spit up/aspiration etc. He's also learnt to roll, so he's decided he doesnt want to sleep on his back anymore. I still try, but nope, he flips right over. To be honest I think it helps his reflux issues to sleep on his belly cause he must be more comfortable like that. He's trying to get his knees underneath him when he has tummy time, and he can push himself slug like accross the rug. He's started eating Rusks now, and started with a sippy cup (just to play around with). Also pictures of these things in the new album. He's such a perfect lil boy (although slightly bald LOL), but he loves people...he just wants to be held..doesnt care who is holding him! He's exclusively breastfed (infact has only ever had one bottle in his life) and we'll keep breastfeeding as long as he wants, we hope to break Callum's record of 16 months.
