Pippa's Diary
Things in France

Haven't got much time but we're starting a renovation program and the details are going to be posted

Here's the blog
and here's the photo's

I'm so slack for not posting, will try and update more but...
These are both taken at about 5 months old (dont like it on Amelia) but I always thought the two kids looked really different to each other but in these ones you can see the similarities.

Pippa, Phil, Jacques and Amelia

Amelia has a few rough nights last week and cried from 7 or 8pm until 2 or 3 o clock in the morning, without any break so I changed her milk to an easier digest one and she went straight back to sleeping and waking up after 4 hours.
Jacques is going to school 4 whole days and a half wednesday from this week, he's very tired and acting up a bit when he gets home but mainly answering us back so we're trying to nip it in the bud and alot of timeouts !!!
Weather is colder today and we#re due a cold spell for 10 days or more. Went to the 50% rembourse off toys in Leclerc today, mum and dad and si have bought amelias birthday and christmas presents and Ive bought her birthday pressie. Nothing there much for Jacques but mum and dad and si bought him some games to keep him quiet so that's his birthday sorted. I bought him a fishing game which we played this afternoon and Amelia's got a activity arch which Im going to show her tomorrow when Jacques is at school.
Super U opens tomorrow !!!

Busy busy busy and tiring day's we've had. Too much has happened to go into it all.
Amelia is doing well, except we've discovered she has silent reflux so is struggling after her bottles and sounds very wheezy, she's alot better the last few days but doesnt like the gaviscon she's been given. I also got si to send over some colic medicine and I think that's helping alot more. She still tends to cry for 90 minutes at some point during the evening/morning feeds. last night it was 1am-2.30 :O( but then she slept until 6 :O) She's also 11lb now !!! and is only just 6 weeks....
I had my check up and i'm fine, have to go for a liver blood test and to try keep on a low fat diet and minimal alchohol.
I've finished my xmas shopping, got some nice things for people and Phil's got a band saw. Phil's bought me and mum Celine Dion tickets to her debut concert in France on 19th may :O) cat 2 tickets too woohooohooo so we're planning on trying to lose some weight before the big day.
Jacques is ok, acting up a bit but it seems to be in the afternoons, he's got the hospital for his ears this tuesday, then wed he's with phil in the pm while im at patchwork and on thursday he has a school trip to the Bison farm :O) I'm sure
he'll love it.
errrr Oh yes, mum and dad went to troc the other day and they saw a corner suite in our green settee, so Phil let us have it and the room looks alot posher than it did. Dad's coming on thursday and friday to help me paint the lounge and we've banned food from it.
Cartonnage is going well, we made some picture frames, will take a piccie soon and patchwork has ground to a bit of a halt, have seen a fantastic kit I want to buy but am waiting to know if it's all in stock.
we've been busy taking photos so the new ones are
