Who is you other half like?....

You scored as Knightley, Your husband/boyfriend is most like Mr. Knightley of Emma! He probably gives you kind lectures to help you in certain matters, though he does these out of true devotion and in your best interests. Others look to him for his wisdom and good sense. He is generous and steadfast, though not afraid to politely argue with you. The two of you enjoy a challenging, sweet partnership and are most likely very active in your community.

So much to do!!!

Well, it's been a rather looooong time since I last posted!  This may be because we have been rather busy!  
Well, where do I start?  We went to visit Angela, Paul and Esther for Angela's birthday.  We had a lovely day up in Chelmsford, and had a lot of fun together.
What ARE these "strawberry" things?!

Having fun with Grandma and Grandpa (singing "there was an old woman who swallowed a fly" - she thought it very amusing!)

At the park for a walk!

Next, it was many last minute preparations for going over to Northern Irealnd for Stephen and Lydia's Wediing!

 We had a brilliant day, and a lovely few days in Northern Ireland, catching up with family.

The happy couple a few days before the wedding.
Stephen and Lydia with Mum and Dad.

Taking the weight off my rather sore feet - the shoes felt ok in the shop....!

 We spent the Sunday at David and Claire's house - thank-you Claire for a lovely day!  

And, I got to go to Church in the evening, with JUST SUSANNA!  

 Robert stayed at home with the other 3 who were rather tired after a busy Wedding the previous day.  I got to stay out for supper at David and Claire's too!  It's amazing what becomes a treat when you are a mother of 4!

The journey to and from the wedding was made a lot smoother by a friend - we had in-car dvd players for the children - so much less of the "are we there yet" syndrome!  Hmmmmm, maybe a Christmas present idea for the children?!

Since we returned, it has been fairly much back to normality - trying to finish off school work to have a summer break.  Due to the nature of Joshua's school being book-work based, we are trying to finish the current book in each subject , before having a break.  

Bethany is keenly sitting looking at books, eagerly awaiting Spetember when she starts school!  She can't WAIT to read!

Ahhh yes, we also had the addition of a new NEPHEW!!  Born on the 4th of July (will he be the "independant" type?!?), weighing 8lb 2oz, was Joseph Andrew Cordle - JAC!  I am still waiting to be able to see him, so photo's will follow, hopefully very soon!  Jo was able to experience a much better labour, and is very thankful to the Lord for an easier delivery.

I'll try and not be so long in adding more news!
