who is coming for dinner?

This is the new enlarged Siegel Family dinner table - just us! This was Sunday 21st and the new baby's first day home. Eoin (2 yrs) was particularly delighted with the new baby's arrival that morning now asked "So, so daddy where did you find the new baby?"
He had evidently been thinking about this all day and I know he hadn't understood the pregnancy and when I said there was a baby in my tummy he thought it was all a bit far fetched and we were joking with him.

Race Car Day

So last Sunday Lex cashed in his Race Car Day ticket and the boys had a full day of fast furious fun. Uncle Andrew came by for a circuit or two as well. These tracks have been shipped from Germany to Santa Barbara and back to Ireland but they are worth it. Much fun was had and we can't wait for the next Race Car Day.

Zoe learning to talk

We are always anxious for our children learn to walk and talk. All of mine have been at the later end of the spectrum achieving these mile stones. Zoe is the learning to talk now and I just love it. She is very keen to communicate and is trying hard to keep up with her four big brothers. In just a few days we will know if she will have a sister or another brother to partner up with. Either way she is going to love being a big sister.

Eye candy

I got this wool about a year ago and I have been looking at it since. It brings me great joy just to contemplate this color and the potential it has. So far I have not been able to come up with a plan for it but this morning I felt the need to do something urgent. This maybe a sign that baby is coming because I got up an hour early and cleaned my closet too. But now I am going to cast on with this wool and see what happens. Exactly one week until the due date.
