It seems I forgot to post anything in September, after all my catch up posts the previous month! :-P I guess I was busy - early in the month we went over to Ness (in the Isle of Lewis) to stay with my sister Leah and her family. Caleb is studying there for the next several months, so visiting them is our chance for the kids to finally spend time with their cousins & Aunty Leah and Uncle Caleb. So we spent a few nights with them and had a lovely time. I've got lots of photos from our time there, further down this post. Then we had to hurry back home that week as we had guests coming to stay at the house in Edderton, so had to be here to get that ready, and it was occupied for a further 2 weeks after they left a week later - so a busy month, which is good! :-)
First a few photos from the past week or so - nothing out of the ordinary - just kids around the house!
 |
| I *love* this photo - and the boys in it, of course! :-) |
 |
| "Lego!" says Elijah - yes, they ALL love Lego. And their sweaters rather match the bricks too! lol |
 |
| Brothers! |
 |
| This little guy (ok, middle guy) is always building something new - and smiling too! |
 |
| Looking a bit dazed here - but always with a book in hand! :-) |
 |
| Waffles for breakfast - Elijah's favourite! |
 |
| Feeling short, I think! |
 |
| My rather wild flowers, outside the front door. I wasn't sure anything was going to grow very well in this once rubble pile, but these flowers surprised me! Very pleased with my £1 box of "shake and rake" mixed flower seeds - it filled the window boxes on the playhouse, grew all these flowers here - and more! :-) |
 |
| "Shoo - go away" says Elijah to a fly (or some other flying insect he found on the window). |
So yeah, now the photos from our trip to Ness last month. I've already posted these on Facebook and Google+, so perhaps most of my friends/family have already seen them, but finally they're here on my blog!
 |
| Kids having fun in the play area on the ferry. It was great they could run around like this, since the crossing takes about 3 hours! |
 |
| Breakfast with cousins! :-) |
 |
| The view from Leah's back door - yes, the Atlantic Ocean! |
 |
| Preston & Elijah had *such* fun together - P is exactly 4 months older than Elijah. |
 |
| Abigail & Shona in the garden |
 |
| Colouring pictures |
 |
| It turns out, *both* these wee guys are obsessed with switches - so they hung out together turning switches on & off! LOL |
 |
| Elijah being blown away - love it! :-) |
 |
| Elijah came through and saw Preston sitting in the floor, so he sat down beside him and stretched his legs out just the same! :) |
 |
| Anne's son C holding Elijah |
 |
| My 5 and Anne's 4 - ignore the crazy faces some of mine are making!! :-P |
 |
| Anne and I |
 |
| Elijah got lots of cuddles that afternoon! :-) |
 |
| Clement & Shona were debating how you say the letter Z (Zee as an American or Zed as the British say) - they both had very strongly held opinions - so funny! |
 |
| I love the views! |
 |
| Anne's house in the far distance! |
 |
| Atlantic Ocean |
 |
| Toy boxes are meant for little girls, right? ;-) |
 |
| On the ferry going home - with *amazing* weather - prob the nicest day I've ever had crossing the Minch. |
 |
| My girls again :-) |
 |
| Deborah |
 |
| They were actually complaining that the sun was too bright! :-O |
 |
| Scotland is beautiful |
 |
| Biggest boys! |
 |
| That's better - smiling at me! :-) |
 |
| Me & Elijah |
 |
| And back to the mainland - Ullapool. |
