Jake's blog

Online diary - started in February 2007 - but I've gone back (with the aid of photos) to pre-children days in 2002, so that we have a complete record of their lives online. This should mean that we can't forget both the best and worst bits of parenting. Hopefully, in the years to come this should resolve any disputes about who said or did what in a family argument. One day they may even thank me for this record of 1st steps, words, tantrums and heaven forbid boyfriends/girlfriends.

zoo

Today we went to the zoo. This is the 2nd time we've done this in Edinburgh - and today was considerably better than the first time - when it was cold and depressing (Grace's 1st birthday). This time there were lions, rhinos (well a rhino) and a few other things - including this red panda which I thought was very cute (and a damn fine photo if I don't mind saying so myself!). Needless to say both Grace & Joseph weren't as impressed as we'd hoped they might be....

cupar with martyn & amanda

Went up to Cupar in Fife to see Martyn & Amanda. On a pleasant afternoon, we went for a stroll round town - which ended up at the local bowling club. They all seemed to like of my backpack - and Joseph in particular. This is the motley crew heading bacvk home for a cuppa.
