I plan to marry next month (August) and I can't for it to be over and done with as it took me long enough to persude Tim to marry me in the first place. After having children together I thought that if I don't do it now we will never end up doing it!

Our children are 3 years old and 4 months old. Josh is older and looks just like his father, encouraging people to tell me that after 9 months of back ache and three hours of painful labour he dosen't look a thing like me. Ellie is different however - after 9 months of tiring pregnancy and 18 hours of labour I am told that she too looks nothing like me but she looks like Tim's mother. They are both gorgeous to me nether the less even if they show no sign of resembling myself.

Next there is the dog Peggy. She's a cross breed and thinks that she is human. She used to steal Josh's dummy when he was a babty, and swallow it. The first two times that this happened unfortunately it become stuck in her stomach and had to removed surgically by a suprised vet. This was over a two years ago and thankfully she hasn't needed this since. Emily the horse is completlty mad and unfortunately is permanently lame so she is left to graze for the rest of her life.

Here's a picture of Peggy when she was just about 12 weeks old, and eating that dreadful dried puppy food (made with real dried puppies!).

Here's a cute picture of Josh taking a walk by the lake when he had just turned two years old.

Anyway, that's it from me for now. You may want to visit my future husband's homepage, or you can email me at sophie@cream.org.
