Hello everybody!

We had an interesting week with R being ill...off course we only realised he had a cold when his nose started to runn....he had a few nights when nearly every 10-15 mins we were up and also a few nights when we took it in turns to survive....
Anyway, we think we have turned a corner no sign of teeth but we are getting over the cold. Maria has been down with a cold too still we made it to Cambridge over the weekend which was nice. We only stayed a few hours and enjoyed some of the sunshine.
We saw a COW and Reuben was very intrigued so the picture is talking for itself. He had a good night and mummy and daddy also went to support Jim and Ian on their sleep out last night at the MHS homes offices in the dockside. There was a very good speach by our lovely Terry Wait who came and saw us and chatted to us a bit while we were helping Jim set up for his sleep out. the atmosphere was incredible....it was freezing cold and it really gave people who were there a glimps into what its like to be homeless and sleep in cardboards. We saw some amazingly decorated cardboards ....I guess people felt so artistic but the most I liked the one made out of Big Issue pages....shame there wasn;t a contest for the best cardboard house....(it would have been taking the focus away I guess...)
Anyway here some pictures of our weekend.

Ah, Reuben had a huge fall today from his bed in the bedroom straight on the floor he cried for about 5 mins....it was so sad although next thing he was again trying to move to the edge...kids never learn....well it won;t be the last fall we imagine.

Aso he started to put his head on mummys shoulder which is so sweet....thats when he is tired....he is starting to comunicate by turning his face away if something is not of his likeing but also if he had enough...which is every 2 mins. He is a bounceing wiggler tiger!
