long time...

Wow I cannot believe that its been over a year since our last post! How lazy are we? As you can imagine, much has happened in over a year in the life of our little boy - who has developed into a fully fledged Monster!

We recently spent a few weeks on what was our first family-only holiday, just the three of us in a nice little village in the Algarve. Being slightly out of season, gone were the crowds and packed beaches which allowed the monster and us to fully explore the beaches without the fear of bumping into people.

Below are a few photos from our holiday, I would like to say that it was fully relaxing and recharging but I would be fibbing! It was very hard work looking after the little one 24/7 without the help of family, friends and nursery - although we did enlist the help of random waiters (all trust issues were out of the window by day 4). Nevertheless it was a superb break.

Good luck to Jake and Karen who are/were expecting on December 8th, and who hopefully wont have to wait too long before their lives are totally disrupted! -)


On our first day, just arrived from the airport to the hotel after a very early morning

Although mum and dad were a bit grumpy the monster was fine and couldnt wait to investigate/terrorise. Which he did without delay.....

and soon realised that sand doesnt taste very nice

but still, the music was good..

..and so was the food

not sure about the entertainment...
