earthquake!

we had an earthquake in the night! what fun =) it was very minor for us and we didn't feel anything, just heard the wardrobe door handles shake. i had been up with noah then gone to the bathroom, and i said to andy maybe it was just me as i walked past?
'are you sure' he asked me?
'no, but i don't think there is anyone else here' i replied!
it was just past 1am i think. but lo and behold on the radio in the morning, they were talking about it! it was 5.3 on the richter scale, the 2nd biggest in britain since 1984. but it was based up in lincolnshire which is why we didn't actually feel it. so weird though! there was one back in 2003 that we actually felt and heard as it was within the west midlands (our county)... here is the article off of the bbc =)

Micah

i can't tell at all if the antibiotic and cream is helping...but atleast micah's eye isn't black and blue this morning!

i also meant to mention that micah has been working on his camera skills!! here are some of his photos with our camera!

i can't believe...

so you know the photos from earlier? of micah's eye?? well, yeah, worse now as he was climbing a 'tree' aka a bush in the back garden and slipped and hit his eye. yes. that. eye. so it now looks like this:

so now his eye is turning into a swollen black eye!! we'll see what the morning brings =)

so here is the update photo before bed...we are definitely going to be black and blue in the morning! we have run out of arnica, so i didn't have anything to give him for the bruising!! because i used the flash, the redness doesn't come out as much, but it is, pretty red!!

and as for the medicene..the 2nd and 3rd takings weren't too bad, but he doesn't swallow for ages even though he has a handfull of chocolate buttons to much once he does!!

blender and bump =)

my first smoothie in my new blender...my first time to use the blender actually! and a photo of the bump...feeding the bump that is!

by the way, the smoothie was strawberries, banana and vanilla ice cream, so really more like a fruit milkshake i guess!! but oh so good!

poorly micah

micah woke up yesterday morning with a swollen eyelid..it was almost half-way closed. we went to the pharmacist and he gave us some medicene..antihistimine or something like that but after 3 doses there was no change. so this morning he woke up like this:

so the doctor today gave us an antibiotic as he thinks its an infection like a stye that got infected, and he also gave us a cream to put on it. micah has been very good thus far and took the medicene which he usually takes no problems anyway. though there might be trouble the next round as this didn't taste as good as his other medicenes =) and i was able to put the cream on his eye too. it doesn't seem to hurt him or bother him really as he hasn't complained at all and is not rubbing or itching it...so we'll see what happens!

and not to leave out noah today, heres a photo from about 15 minutes ago...and now he is sleeping upstairs =) he has been having earlier naps than normal, as he use to go down after lunch and here recently he's been falling asleep around 11! and that's even with almost 12+ hours of sleep last night! andy drove me to the hospital last night around half 6 to visit a friend and both boys were asleep before we got there and andy said they pretty much stayed asleep when he brought them in to bed!! how nice!

photos for the folks

thanks mom for the candy canes!

this is micah in my sweater. its one of my maternity ones and is a wrap around...he decided he was cold and slipped right in!

from the malverns

february half term

its been a great week, starting with last friday night.
friday was andy's last day of school for a week. that night we celebrated chinese new year at 'the emerald' a chinese buffett. we took the boys with us, but i know now better ;) it wasn't too bad, but it was hard work. the food was delicious, there were atleast 10 of us and we spent about 2 hours there.
saturday was a kinda lazy day. becky came over for lunch, the boys played outside as the weather was mild and sunny. andy got to watch the rugby on the computer and becky and i went shopping, just food shopping, but still we were on our own!
sunday was a normal day really...
monday was the first day of the childrens club (kinda like VBS) and it went well. micah and noah didn't sit very well but they are young. afterwards i went into birmigham with lois, jemima and lizzie to window shop and spend some time out. andy took the boys to down to the malverns to walk in the hills (of which pictures will soon come!) that night we had robert plant and his family over for dinner. robert is the one doing the childrens club.
tuesday childrens club went a little better with our boys. afterwards, lois, jemima, lizzie and becky came back to ours and babysat the boys, while we went out with jon and anthea to TGIFriday's for a yummy lunch, then out to see 'national treasure' at the cinema! it was really good!! we then took a wee stroll along the canal and got a cup of hot chocolate/coffee/tea to warm us up!
wednesday micah was very good during childrens club and shiela actually took noah for a walk in the stroller and when she came back, he was asleep! we had a day at home, andy locked himself in his room so that he could do some school work. but then he came down with a cold =(
today childrens club was ok and afterwards we went to shiela's for a picnic. it was suppose to be up at the lickey hills, but it was too cold today...so we had it on her lounge floor. it was nice and the boys and i stayed there till half 3, while andy had gone home just before 2. and now i need to make some dinner. i bought some tuna steaks, so we'll see what i can find to do with them!
tomorrow is the last day of the prize giving and then i have my 24week midwife appointment. then i am off with becky and the girls for the day! whoo-hoo =) will tell you all more later! and i promise to post photos soon =)

why oh why do i always forget that drinking apple juice in the mornings makes me feel nasaeus??

our saturday walk

we had only just begun our walk and here's noah, as muddy as can be!

a bit of fun!

i finally got around to playing with photos today...its been so long but i had fun. hopefully i will/may be doing a bit more in the days to come! these photos are all from september, but they are my favourites! i was thinking of getting this printed onto a canvas..but i'm not sure. i haven't actually ever gotten a canvas print, but have wanted one for a long time!!



we had a wonderful stay home evening last night! first andy got home and i had fixed dinner, but wasn't hungry myself, so i went upstairs and took a lovely bath while the boys ate their dinner. then noah and micah 'found' me and i eventually let them come in with me, after letting out tons of water ;) i stayed in with them a for a bit, but they were getting wild and crazy so i got out! once they were out and jammies on (which takes ages ofcourse as they have to wrestle and roll around on the bed first) we went downstairs and played some card games. ok, tried to play some card games! first we tried 'snap' which was ok, but micah wasn't always understanding and when we said snap and went to take our cards he would get upset 'cause we were taking his cards!! after SNAP micah and andy played hide and seek...while noah and i looked on (okay, i was reading a book..what's new?!)

today we had a lazy morning that turned into an almost boring afternoon as we had to stick around to watch the beginning of the italy/ireland 6 nations rugby game. we eventually got out of the house and went to the waseley hills for a walk! it was super cold and a wee bit windy, but it was lovely to get out, get a little muddy and best of all, get some photos taken!! (i will post photos tomorrow...i want to play with them first =P ) then home to tea (dinner) and more rugby, this time watching england/wales! thankfully, both ireland and wales won their games today!! even though we live in england, we don't necessarily cheer for england! usually the opposite if other british teams are involved!! he he =) andy wore his ireland cap with pride today!!

and now, all are in bed sleeping (andy included) and i am trying to get more photo ideas....
