First few weeks in Denver

Hi, well I've finally managed to start this thing. Thank you Carrie! It's actually been my 2 American friends that have got me going on this. We have now been in Denver about 8 weeks and are just about settled. Jacob and Abi started school today and all went very smoothly. Allen is in DC for a few days so I'll probably get more done now! Am posting some recent photos. 2 are from my birthday trip to the mountains. We had a great time. It was strange being there without snow, however there has been a dusting of snow this week, can't believe it as the weather here is gorgeous. There's also a picture of Allen and kids in a fountain, the jet just hitting Allen. Also a recent camping trip to Colorado Springs which most of the family thoroughly enjoyed - can you guess who wasn't as keen? And finally Jacob and Abi's first day at school. I now have 2 very tired children so it'll be 6.30 bedtime - hooray!

Hi Cuz Junior!!

You are looking great as are all the family. The BLOG is very good but at our ages would not even know how to go about creating one, anyrate who wants to view and read about two old grizzlies who are trying to organise their departure to live in Spain.

Was talking to your Mum and Dad and Annette a short time ago and we may pop up to see all and Auntie who we believe is now getting very frail.

Take care

Hi All
For people that don't know Jacob has a patch on his left eye to make his right eye stronger. Off to the hospital in a couple of weeks to see if it's working. So he's fine! The kids did go to bed at 6.30 so long may school knacker then out!

Nice to see recent photos of your two. They look so happy, and I see Jacob is wearing his new Adidas sneaks. I'm still waiting to use that Olly receipt: perhaps this week before school starts. Speech therapy will start again on Sept. 12; she wants to see Owen at preschool. She thinks he will work better if I am not there. Hello to all
