Where do the years go?

My eldest 'baby' and my youngest 'baby' before they go into the Opera in Bath tonight

And here they are:

One day old 37 years ago


one day old 25 years ago

Amazing and frightening isn't it.

They look lovely all dolled up for the opera.

how fabulous do they look? Must be very close the pair of them. Beautiful baby pics too

Yeah they scrub up well and best of all they ADORE one another (tho would never admit it)

Thank you. We are a very close family (even if separated by thousands of miles!) My kids are my world but will tell you I think more of my dog than I do of them lol!


They have this 'awesomeness scale' thing going on where they vie for awesomeness points with MUM. Short form is awm.

I get emails telling me of their latest exploits and suggesting the number of awesomeness points it might deserve!

They also fight about who is mum's FAVOURITE CHILD. Signing themselves off 'number unero child' or 'number 1 child' or 'the child who loves you MOST' Also fight and argue about 'who gets the dog' when I die.

They will refer to themselves variously as 'number 1 child' or 'number 1 awm child' all totally NUTS of course and cannot think WHERE they get it from!

I do love my kids!

It shows T,you sound very proud of them and rightly so they are a credit to you
I have five brothers and one sister, extremely close also

They sound amazing, where do the years go? I remember my mum saying they go faster as you get older, the years that is, she wasn't wrong!

Best years of your life is when your kids are babies and then youngsters growing up. I reckon anyway!

I have to say nite nite and discipline myself to go and do some work now. And leave looking for the elusive PUK code to unlock my mobile until tomorrow. It is SO tempting to go dip in the pool instead though

Just had a look at that 2nd baby pic, didn't realise skirts and trousers were that recent an invention!!!
