As discovered by Naomi Grew. With the added bonus of looking pretty darn sweet these babies make every day feel like summer.

(They are actualy Dad's anti glare night driving glasses - I asume he bought them in 1983)

New Hat and rugby ball

To cap off an exciting weekend Owen is also the proud owner of a new sunhat and rugbyball - the previous one from Uncle Tom burst due to over use. Here is a photo that covers all three. (For those unsure about perspective - the ball is not that big in real life)

Wearing in the shoes

In order to prevent blisters, always best to wear in your new shoes.

New Shoes!

Owens first shoes, from John Lewis. Outragously priced at £18 - think I could make a pair for less. Pretty cool though, they look like mini Deisels!

Cananda here we come

The two week RV based road trip around Cananda has been green lighted by the budget holders of both the Jupp and Grew families and is pencilled in for summer 2008. This has led to immediate an overexcited reaction from me and Mark with rough plans for travel, accomodation and transport worked out within hours of the go ahead, and the finer details under discussion - a radio code book in case we get CBs on the RV's for example - best to be well planned. The general consensus seems to be that all number used in the code should end in "er" - "Breaker, breaker thats a four niner" - and lots of meaningless words before and after any key information, and overall try to sound like a cross between a slightly disgruntled long distance lorry driver and the FBI. I'm considering commandeering the code name "Blue Squirell"...

Shouldn't have taught Owen to say "Doh" and put his hand on his head just before he ate some sloopy mince and gravey... still he seemed to find it pretty funny.

Owens first efforts at using a spoon, he'd obviously been watching me in the garden as he went for a definate shovel action. Still, as usual volume and food were not mutualy exclusive and pleanty went down the pie hole along with a fair bit into the recycling trough (or bib).

Blowing out the candle

Can be a challenge when you are only one year old. If you think there'd be no one to help you'd be wrong. Sam Jones, never one to shy away from a challenge, steps up to the plate and blows the candle out like he's been doing all his life (well five years anyway)

If the world runs out of horses...

... Owen will be fine as he's learnt to ride a lion. Always best not to waste time on "wussy" things like horses anyway - real men ride lions.
A birthday present from the good folks at Chez Bainbridge (Rob, laura and Thomas), good work.

Pig Roast

Sarah and Toms 30th party at UCS Old Boys Rugby Club. Pig Roast loked grim but tasted amazing. Beer was cheap and good. A good time was had by all (except my mum and dad who had two screaming babies to contend with)
