Beanie's Birthday!!!

I think Mummy must have used too much tape on this one!

YAY!!! Books! And no, big sis, you can't read it first!

What's from Uncle Mark?

Are you having a good birthday Beanie?? I think he might be!!

Small sisterly sulk...

Attractively dressed teenager...

New BIIIIIIIIKE!!!!!!!!

Rainy birthday trip to town to buy more Crazy Bones and rent movies...

Cool wheels!

Ed borrowing his old bike!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU!!! *Make a wish*

The night before....

Building the wheels....

Oooh it's a hot rod!

PRESSIES!!!

Ta Da!!! All done!

The First Day of School.... (or IS it?)

The eagle eyed amoungst you will be able to see why these can't actually be first day of school pics but the rest of you....enjoy!

Teen... now a year NINE!!! How did THAT happen?

Eddo seems to have developed some sort of strange humpback...

Fishing with Gemma and Dan!!

While I was in hospital with Little Bump, Gemma and Dan took the kids fishing!

My children are being patient.... I'm worried!

I'm going to have to scan the photos of these 2 gorgeous people in, so you can see them at 3 months and 4!!

Oh good grief... who gave the teen a gun?

The proud Beanster with his FISH!

Fishy, fishy, fishy!!!!!

Back from fishing and onto the X-Box. Eddo wisely eats toffee popcorn instead.

Little Bump.. June-Aug 2008

This is the only proof that our baby Little Bump existed...2 positive tests and all our hopes and dreams.

I was 10 weeks 5 days pregnant when I went to hospital while on holiday as I'd had some 'spotting'. The scan showed that our baby had died some weeks before.

I have named our baby Aspen after the ward in Carlisle where I received the bad news,( I also some wonderful care from a registrar who's name I just wish I could remember. I'll never forget that moment but her kindness is part of what I'll always remember) .

These are some photos of the real Aspen in Colorado, such a beautiful, inspiring piece of the Lord's creation and I think it sums up what our child would have been.

RIP Little Bump, we all love you and miss you (even the cravings for yoghurt...)
