It is my nephew Thorin's ninth birthday today and Cameron, Owen and Harry celebrated it by sleeping out in the tree house in our woods Friday and Saturday night. Thankfully they didn't freeze to death or get attacked by some psycho as me the paranoid mother worried about :) They had a great time and did what lads their age should! I hate the fear factor that comes with kids. They just want to innocently walk down to our local shop to buy a bag of sweets and I am watching the time until they have arrived home. John helps by asking me to think about the very worst thing that could happen and the best and then find some rationality somewhere in the middle :) That is usually something like - they go to the park on the way home from the shop so take a little longer.
Anyway above is Thorin opening his new tarp which he got with a hammock so he can sleep out under the stars without getting wet.
Cameron who is pictured above looking lovely in his suit, was set apart today as the teacher's quorum president. Bishop set him apart and it was a lovely blessing - I reminded Cam on the way out of Bishop's reference to listening more to his parents :)
Beautiful sunny afternoon and while the kids played pass the parcel John and I escaped up to Wilkins to get Dave and Marie a Wilkinet for their baby due now. John's mum and dad left today to fly over to see them both, and to await the new arrival. We are all excited to see what Dave and Marie's offspring will look like, send us lots of photos Dave !!!!! xx
