It's my birthday!









Well, doesn't time fly when you're having fun? I can't believe Joe is 1! He has brought really special fun to our family and it's a joy to see how Grace absolutely adores her little brother. He is such a joyful little boy and we thank God for his first year of life.



So, here are some photos from the week of celebrations in the Hawkins house! And boy have we had fun...




Oh, and here is my pride and joy- the very first victoria sponge cake! Does that make me English?


Well, enjoy...

Here is the birthday boy with his bestest Adam and Becca...... and his little guests... and Dave-the-neighbour (so delighted with the crowd!)... where is Luke?


Oh, and Joe got driving lessons with his Christmas car!

The snow comes to Crookes!

Hey, we have snow outside! It's so very exciting, we just sit in the window watching the snowflakes dance in the wind. And Andy is hoping the school is shut tomorrow... Anyway, we may even have enough snow to go and try Bole Hills for a bit of fun on sledges.So, there you go, photos of one wintery day...

That's our garden, can't quite enjoy a glass of wine at the moment...

Mamusiu, zobacz, balwanek!


Kapiel to zawsze taki ekscytujacy i najlepszy czas dnia. Dla dzieci - bo jest piana i zabawki. Joe chodzi po calej wannie, nawet jesli musi przejsc po swojej siostrze. Dla nas, bo dzien dochodzi do konca i po uporzadkowaniu calego domu mozemy w koncu pasc przed telewizorem. No, Andy pada przed stosem klasowek do sprawdzania, biedak!

Tak wiec, komedii z malymi Hawkinsami ciag dalszy.

Hej, witamy!

Tak jak mowilam na poczatku, chcemy aby nasz blog byl dwujezyczny. Nie wiem jaki mi to wyjdzie, ale bede sie starac! Jesli sie zapedze po angielsku, to wybaczcie!
Czas pedzi jak szalony, albo to my pedzimy i nie nadazamy za czasem? Nie moge uwierzyc ze Andy i ja jestesmy po slubie juz ponad 5 lat, Grace we wrzesniu zaczyna szkole, a Joe bedzie zdmuchiwac pierwsza swieczke na swoim torcie urodzinowym juz za 3 tygodnie... To zapowiada sie chyba dosyc duzy rok - przede mna 30-dziestka!
Tak czy siak, to bedzie dobry rok, pelen wyzwan, smiechu, rozmow, modlitwy, od poniedzialku do niedzieli...
To do zobaczenia!

Don't let the sun go down on me, yeah!


Couldn't resist but share this photo with you because it's simply gorgeous! Here is Joe, as cute as ever...
