Proud day for my husband

As most of you know,  Luke is currently studying for a Masters degree at Edinburgh University. We both knew that it would be a very hard year for us because Luke is now only working part time, I watch Daniel most of the time while being pregnant and working two days a week. It has been a hard and stressful year however the passion that Luke has for the course is amazing. Well yesterday made the hard work worth it for both of us. Luke went to see his professor about his dissertation due at the end of August. While he was there the professor asked if he had thought about doing a PhD next year. Luke and I had talked about this in the past however Luke was not confident that he would get the grades he needed to do it. While his professor confirmed yesterday that she believed that Luke was able to do very well if he did a PhD. This is huge news because it means that all of Luke's hard work has been noticed and the fact that he is doing this while working and having a family is even more amazing. 

While Luke and I have not decided if he is going to do the PhD, I was very proud of my husband because this is Luke's dream and he has worked really hard to get to this point. 

T-shirt weather in March

The weather at the weekend was amazing. Daniel and I went and sat outside on Saturday so that he could play. When we first went out I had a long sleeve t-shirt on Daniel however I had to change this to a short sleeve one as it was nice and warm (this is amazing for Scotland in March). Daniel loves being outside and at the moment loves playing with rocks so we had fun moving the rocks all around the garden.

Where should I put my rocks now mummy?

So this is what grass feels like

All in a row

I love Pasta!

Daniel's favourite food to eat is pasta, in any form. I never thought that I would be happy to let my kids get messy like this. If you ask my mum, she will tell you that I do not like having anything messy on my face or hands so before Daniel was born, I used to joke that I would only let him get messy with food if he was eating in the bath. However once he started eating, I realised that he needed to not only enjoy eating the food but enjoy the whole feeling of food. This is therefore the result!                                                                  

I love my mummy's bump

Daniel loves to lay on my bump. Ever since the bump started getting bigger Daniel likes nothing more then to sit on my lap, lift my shirt and then put his head on the bump. Baby girl does not really like it and will therefore kick Daniel in the head. Sometimes, there is an all out fight between them. I don't know what Daniel will do when the bump goes away.

You can take the boy out of the country however you can not take the country out of the (Brewer) Boy!

Every time that I put Daniel is a pair of overalls I can not help but think of his Great Grandpa. Although we live in Scotland, this pair of overalls just makes Daniel look like he should be helping his Grandpa in the back yard.
