A little update!

Hi everyone!  Sorry that we are hugely bad at updating this blog.  As you know life in the truth is always busy.  We have all been suffering with horrible coughs and colds.  Hayley and Jack ended up missing our one day assembly as Jack woke up with a temperature on the morning we were meant to be going!  Well what have we been upto?  Mostly illness!!! But on a positive we have had some really nice calls on the ministry.  Hayley met with a pioneer sister in the hall a lovely lady from Fiji.  The pioneer sister has started a study with her.  Its been a lovely experience to meet someone who wants to know the truth so much.  Gideon's sister Annabel, and her husband Leon (Hi guys!) are on international construction in spain at the minute for a few weeks.  All the builds they go on have really sparked an interest in Jack to do this when he is older.  (Thanks Annie and Leon) ;).  So we hope one day he will be able to do this.  Hopefully in the new system!  We are off on a visit to bethel tomorrow.  We are very excited to see bethel again.  We will leave you with some recent photos.  Bye bye for now and lots of love to you all.  

Arianna starts school.

Sorry its been so long since this blog has been updated!  We will try harder!!! The school holidays have whizzed by, and now the new school term has started.  Arianna has started school now.  She is very tired at the moment, and still a bit unsettled but hopefully it wont be too long.  She has one of Jack's old teachers so its been really nice that she understands what Arianna can and can't do.

We had a lovely holiday in Cornwall and devon in august.  We stayed at Porthtowan in cornwall the first week and Seaton in devon the second week, where we joined up with Hayley's Mum and Dad.  It was nice to spend some time with them too.  We had lots of fun on the beach rock pooling and building sandcastles.  We also have aquired a dingy so we got to test it out!  Here are some photos;

Seeing the seals in Norfolk

We went up to Norfolk to see Hayley's Mum and Dad who are up there on holiday this week.  Jack and Arianna spent the night with Nanny and Grandad (very exciting)!  We booked into sheringham youth hostel for the night, after the wet and windy weather forecast put paid to our camping plans!  We had a lovely time going to see the seals and birds on a boat trip.  It was lovely to admire these beautiful creatures up close in the wild.  It made us feel so excited thinking about all the animals we will get so close to in the new system.

We also had a lovely time visitng the mid norfolk railway, and also Cromer.

On the common, and Lammas land

We thought you would like to see some photos of our weekend in Pembrokeshire with Matt and Sarah.  It was so lovely to see them again, its been nearly three years since the last time we saw them.  We miss them a lot, since our days in bethel.  We went on some lovely walks, and visited a couple of very nice tea rooms.  The scenery here is beautiful.  We really recommend coming here, we are sure you would all love it!

We had a really nice day last saturday with our lovely friends the Briggs family.  They took us to a fantastic park near them called the discovery centre.  It has the most amazing play equipment for children of all ages.  It has a total wipeout style assault course which was right up Jack's street!  We hope you enjoy these photos.

We had a little trip to pleasure beach Great Yarmouth.  Hayley had regular trips there each year after Norwich assembly. (As a child, honest!).  It hasn't changed at all in very many years. (Blush, not letting on quite how many).  Jack and Arianna really loved it.  Its a great place for children, and you can get in with tesco vouchers at the mo.  The next day we went to Southwold.  Its so lovely there.  The colourful beach huts are so pretty.  

Here are some photos of our weekend away, at Hopton on sea in Norfolk last weekend.
