This Week

This Week Sunday already? I can't believe it! This week was one of those weeks were it was all work, Wiggle songs and wondering how it was Sunday already.

Women

Women It's hard to believe the newest lady in my life has already been in the world five months. Life with Lucille so far has entailed endless nappy changes, crying, cuddles, rocking, bouncing, lots of firsts, lots of questions and not a lot of answers.
