Christmas pictures

We went to visit both sets of parents and had a splendid time.

James's Christmas Play 2003

James was an angle in the school nativity.

The first weekend in December was very musical! Dan was playing keyboards in his music school's end of term performance and later in the day Sarah, Joe and Dan were singing in the St. John's choir that was there as Archway's Christmas tree lights were turned on. There are also some pictures of James and Zoe dressed as super heroes as well as some pics from Bethany's party! - Here they are!

Dan's birthday was back in August but being as his friends weren't around we said he could have a party when the term started - eventually we organised a trup to Quasar and tea at MacDonalds - Here are the pics!

James did a self portrait

School photo of Dan

Our good friend Felicity took these one of Joe and Luke, Dan in Lasers, The Dynamites and James.
All of these were taken at church.

We went down to the south bank to see the Lord Mayor's Show firework display - Sarah and the big boys were stuck in a crowd and saw little of the fireworks and Phil took James to the aquarium. The photos didn't really turn out, but James took this one!

We went off to Telford to visit Phil's Mum and Dad and along with Phil's sister Heather we went off to see a splendid fireworks display at Blists Hill
Joe and Dan cleared up the leaves as well.

Bob and Brenda (Sarah's folks) had a party to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary - Dan took most of the pictures that you can see here

Joe swam a mile! and here is the certificate to prove it.

It had to happen - they went back to school, doesn't James look cute!

Sarah and the kids have been going to a craft morning organised by our friend Emily - pictures here.

We went to visit Phil's folks in Telford to celebrate Phil's Dad's birthday - it was the first time we had stayed in a youth hostel and it was brilliant - all families (no youths!).
A few pics here
The tunnel is the famous(!) tar tunnel and you can find out about the Youth Hostel here.

With a new bike and a visit to the London Aquarium what more could a boy need on his eighth birthday?
Dan's Birthday, 13th August

We've just come back from a fabulous weekend in Somerset where we went to our friend's Anthony and Yulyla's wedding at the lovely Eddington Priory church. The reception was at Center Parcs and we had a great time eating and dancing!

Our recent visit to Richmond with some chums from church

The Church's camping weekend for the kids was a hoot!
See what happened at Carotty Wood

Our lovely holiday in the Vendee during half term, May 2003.
We took loads of pictures
Our little campsite was about a kilometer away from the beach down a little woodland track - no road access so no other people there (aside from a couple of surf bums!). It was so warm that we could body-board and swim.
