the weather at the beach was quite wild, and yet calm all in the same day. perfect for geographers with new cameras!

My Jedi wife.

I also love my dogs, Even if I have been a bad parent to them this week.
This is Tiki in about the best health i have seen her.......

Bedtime routine seems to involve shuffling along as fast as a snail as she is wearing her sleeping bag and carrying as many toys, clothes and shoes as she can get away with. and kate's routine is no different either!

almost two, and growing fast, but every now and again you get reminded of how small she is, and how old and weathered you are!

new camera, same results.

I got a monster blister on day 1

We all went up to a very high place:

Kate really totally got it:

And she stood on snow:

Haven't taken half enough piccies! Doesn't do justice at all to the great craic, quality chairlift chat and general giggles.

But now she's been on skis twice and walks around the flat with them on and is totally into it, so she's ok again in my eyes.

The previous piccie was of Bill at Christmas, and here's Tiny:

So, at first she didn't like the snow at all, and I threatened to disown her. She wouldn't even walk on it. She liked her skis but putting them on was out of the question.
