I have been lazy on here, haven't I?!?!

To be honest I have been mega busy since my last post. In work, I have mainly been doing video jobs, I have been training to pass the recruitment process to become a firefighter for Avon Fire and Rescue (I was successful), travelled to Estonia, Poland, Lithuania and spent 3 weeks in the Caribbean for Operation Ruman for the disaster relief from Hurricane Irma and Maria. Oh and we had another child, Sonny.

Anyway, I was scrolling through my phone recently and released that I take a lot of pictures whilst we eat our food at home or out and about. Not sure why I do it, maybe because it shows them in a completely natural way, no posing, doing something that they do everyday. It also captures some great moments between them both. 

Here are a few,
