Normal Life

So Minnie has been home for exactly 2 months now, and she will be 15 weeks old on Thursday.

And we are getting on ok.  My body has adjusted to the many nighttime interruptions.  Penny loves her little sister, though occasionally lashes out (which is hard, but thankfully very infrequent).

We are starting to be a bit braver, going into the city just the 3 of us, but I have already learned that if I push it too far then things can get a bit wrong.

Penny is potty training, I can't wait for her to be out of nappies.  She also talks plenty, now using proper sentences "I don't want it" and she is generally easy to understand.

Minnie is smiling lots, playing with her hands and on the brink of laughing.

Our eagerness to get a bigger house with a garden is growing, but it is hard to figure out how manage it financially, and of course to figure out where we would live.  We are still very happy in South London, but countryside also beckons.  Never mind our dream to live abroad.

So we are happy ... busy but happy.  Squeezing in lots of hospital appointments, for blood, renal, heart etc, and also for blood transfusions.  Trying to fit in a little kid-free time each to do our respective creative projects, as well as spending quality time together as a family.

Time time time ...
