First day in Snowdonia

Got to Wales yesterday, a journey that should've taken 4 and a half hours actually took EIGHT!! Every motorway we went on was just crawling. we were stuck on the M5 for about 1 hour. Thankfully though the hotel and area is worth it. We had a wonderful welcome from the owner who seems to do a bit of everything around here. The room is lovely and very comfy. With beautiful views.

Jonathan was so good in the car he barely grizzled at all unless he was hungry as he slept most of the way. He still slept most of the night though waking up at 2.30am for a feed and then again at 6.30am. We were so proud of our baby boy.

We went to the Snowdon Railway today. It is a steam or diesel train which takes you to the top of Snowdon. The views going up were amazing, they would've been at the top too but unfortunatly the visability was poor.

Full time Mummy

Made the decision today. I have resigned from Superdrug to become a full time Mum. There's a number of reasons why I came to this decision #1 Anne and Michelle are driving me crazy and upset me with the way they treat me #2 and most importantly I don't want to miss any steps in Jonathan's life, he is growing up so quickly and I would be devastated if I missed the most important steps. It will give us lots of quality time and I can take him swimming and to baby and toddler groups. It is also means we'll save a fair bit of money for 2 reasons, #1 we won't have to pay for childcare which is currently working out more then I earn, #2 I'm selling my car which means I'll save on the running costs. I will be sharing Tony's car.

We're going on holiday tomorrow, I can't wait.

My favourite people

I love being a Mummy. Every time I see Jonathan do something new I get tears in my eyes. I was looking at some old photos of him with Tony this morning and I can't believe how much he has grown. he's going to be 5 months old in 11 days. Buddy is amazing with Jonathan and I know Jonathan loves Buddy, they both watch each other when they are moving around the room.
Jonathan can sit in his pushchair like a big boy now.

Me and Jonathan went with Mum, Dad, Sharyn and Trish to Blenheim Palace in Oxford for a memorial day for Grandma's birthday. It was a really lovely day. We had a picnic which was healthier then I expected. I think Grandma would've enjoyed it as Blenheim Palace was one of her favourite places to visit. There was a butterfly and bird area where there was some beautiful and large butterflies. We didn't see any birds though.

We took Buddy and Jonathan to the CCA fields for the classic car show. There was a fun dog show there we entered Buddy into 3 categories which were, Just Because, Waggiest Tail and Sausage Race. He got white rosettes for the first two for taking part although he didn't win and he got a blue rosette for coming 2nd in the Sausage Race because he is a greedy dog, the only reason he didn't get 1st was because when eating the 1st bit of sausage he also wanted the plate until he realised there was more sausage waiting to be eaten.
