Today we had a nice day! We had a very early morning as R woke at 6am after a very fretful night. Then we played read some books did teh normal morning things and cooked british breakfast to the USA friends. Then we had coffee and breakfast with friends and went for a nice long walk on the riverside while R was asleep. Just as we came back we decided to go to Canterbury and so there we were gone! This picture above is the pub where we went which we loved for its family friendly atmosphere and also the food was to die for....!NICE LUNCH...yummm
Reuben loved this shop he just loved the puppets and well it was interesting to see how he was excited and enjoying them! - while mummy sipped her starbucks coffee..YEAH CARAMEL MACHIATTO FOR ME any day would lift me right up!

Here Reuben is enjoying today's pressie a oinking piggy- very cute he keeps cuddleing it and pushing it along saying CAAAAAR! So funny!
This was the pub garden we were right at the back at the decked end with surrounded by all the flowers and the interesting herbs.

Hello, We spent a lovley day at Canterbury wanted to go there for some time! Reuben was such a good boy (we missed nursery naughty) and we were really just enjoying the sun and the walks...so nice to walk with no cars comming around and sit in this gorgeous pub garden. Reuben enjoys saying up down and loves the stairs. Shame we could not find Rainham and get into TUmble Totts as we were messed up by the GPS still we got compensated at Canterbury! Hope we can keep active...R gets so excited climbing the stairs and doing the different excercises. We are thinking of joining again swimming....for todlers.

Hello
We had a manically busy day! At 9am Jenny and Joseph arrived and we were out at 8am to buy goodies for a breakfast...:) so its was yummy crunchy time and was fun. THen Marsha and Sherwood arrived for coffee so it was well and truely chatty, TV and gardened the morning. Around 11am we went for a stroll on Riverside while the boys fell asleep so we came back with Jenny sorted the house out (which did not resemble in any way or shape any of poor Anita's hard work yesterday (that is my cleaner)) so just as I finished that first J then R were awake, R was keen to get out the house so we took a stroll to the local post office then home and set off to Tumble Totts but we missed the place again which made mummy very very furious. So she concluded she won;t try again! WHERE IS THAT RAINHAM ON THE MAP? mummy discovered there was something wrong with the GPS so we ended up in Ebsfleet INternational just as well as we needed to check if our USA friends could go to Paris tomorrow. THen we came home and 10 mins later the USA people came....then R had late lunch...then we had, Emese, then Jerry and NOah popped in then Annie and Georgia, then someone left a packedge for the neighbours so.....all in all to wind down we went out to the highstreet where we just had a stroll came back and R had his bath and a sleep....THANKS GOD TODAY IS OVER!
See what tomorrow brings!

Here is Reuben watering Granny Simith's garden!

Reuben loves this garden! Mostly because its so much to explore and then becaus just outside this gate is the road with cars, busses and motorbikes...passing!

Here we went to explore the Sittingbourne Steam Rail...sadly closing down soon! It was an amazing experience....mummy had seen it all in her time in Romania still what a shame if these places will keep closing down...there won;t be history to see!

R admiring from a close!
With mummy on the train...looking out ..not much to see but loads of berries and apples on the trees very romantic indeed!
Yes! Daddy was there too enjoying it just as much!
This is where we were excited to see the real thing, fire, steam, water...TRAIN!
At the end of our trip with Daddy!

Hello! What a nice day we had! Yesterday Saturday daddy and R set out to Sittingbourne while mummy had a meeting....slept some and just was shocked at how empty the house the place feels without her favourite boys!...Today we all went to church then we visited the PIzza Hut...yummy (ok Natalie won;t be impressed....fast food...) and then visited Sittingbourne Steam Railstation and off course rode on the train....which was exciting and nice. At the end there is a bouncy castle, caffee and a nice playground. Mummy was so sad to hear that it will close down...such a shame. THe last ride 26th December! This week tomorrow we are busy...then we have TUesday some dear friends (from USA) arriving....and staying for a week...and then hopefully October mummy's older sister Elisabeth comming and we will go for a possibly two week holiday home to ROMANIA to celebrate grandad Boros's 70th bday! Fingers crossed...we can do it!

Here is a Reuben trying to put back the tags on to the wellies.....concentration maximus!


Here he loves sitting in the rain paddles!

Mummy and Reuben gardening! Sorting out the mess in the front garden!




Hello
Reuben had a very good week! We saw many friends and been on the train...enjoyed each other;s company...he now says UP AND DOWN and does the actions with it. Something they learnt at the nursery! He also says daddy and train (ain part of it) he makes loads of sounds but my favourite is when he make sthe sound for wanting to eat or drink! He is so clever. he also learnt to master coming down the stairs on his tummy...and its very cute. the other day took the washing up to the top bedroom where we seem to dry clothes these days and he followed me with one sock that I seem to have dropped he was such a cuty! He sleep pretty much better....unless he is teething or he is unwell. He has a terrible cold right now...sniffles and loads of the other kind a stuff that I dno;t like. Still, we are well. This am went to Bromley on the train..done a little shopping then nursery! He was tired after the nursery but still had some gardening time then sleeeeeeeep!

Hello

R loves his fork but mummy forgot it home so here is a very very very not health and safe attempt by R to eat with a huge fork!(not for the faint hearted)

Ah....then again today with Granny Smith!

Reuben loves daddy's huge collection of CAR MAGAZINE! Not sure daddy likes the fact that all these treasures are being a bit destroyed by his son!

Who cares about food when you have cars to study, look at and dream of!

Enough of all the studying, entertaining time to enjoy meeting (reuniting) with CAMMY BOY!
Thanks Cammy for the yummy maple syrup...!
After walking towards Chatham with Cammy we stopped at Noah's to enjoy some fun...on his bike! Noah got a bit tired of his load of toys...lets swap!

Watching Noah and riding his bike....!












Hello we had a v busy day with loads of visitors. Georgia and Annie came around 9am for coffee and play. Then we had a power nap and then Jo came round with baby Beatrix and Isac has some more play time...then Natalie and Cammy popped in....and by the time they left we needed to get out so poor Natty and Cammy had to endure us on their way home...it started raining so we ended up at Noah's house and had some play time there....hence the pics! Anyway, we are ok! R has been a sweety and a real pickle. Tomorrow wedding day but until then lets catch up with some sleep!
