1st Haircut

We took Charlotte to Mr Raymonds today to get her first haircut. Well tidy up really. not much was taken off, but the fringe and side were tidied up. She looks very smart now.

How cool is this - the hairdresser that did her first haircut was the same hairdresser that did my first haircut.



Here's some piccies:

First Steps

Charlotte took her first steps last Monday 30 July. She did it while we were watching Andrew's live feed to the news. He didn't get to see her take any steps until the next morning. She isn't walking just yet. She prefers to take three or four steps and then dive into the arms of the persons he is walking towards or dive on top of the cat.

We have a had an up and down couple of weeks since Charlotte's birthday. We had dad's 60th on the 28th. He had a party down at the Spa which was great. He had an awesome band that formed just for the party. We got home at 1am and the band played another set after we left.

For dad's birthday we got him a framed family protrait. We had some professional photos taken. I have scanned a few for you to look at.

Between Charlotte and Dad's birthday we attended a funeral of a very close family friend.

Last weekend we had the Vester's come and stay. I think Ollie and Charlotte liked each other. I know that they liked each others toys.

Charlotte and I have both had a tummy bug this week which hasn't been that great. Not much fun being sick and trying to look after a sick child as well.

Andrew had a good a couple of weeks work. He spent four days this week and three days last week covering an abuse story for the news. The little girl died last Friday so he has been covering her funeral as well. It has meant that he has been crossing live to the news which has been exciting for us to watch.

Here are the photos that we got taken - if you would like copies of some of them Yvonne let us know and we can get some for you. They haven't scanned that well.
