Neglecting my duites...

I'm sorry it has been over a month since my last post. One of the main reasons for the delay was that during the absence we had a week or so when 75% of our household was quite unwell with some sort of stomach bug. To say it was a difficult time would be putting it mildly. Morgan started the ball rolling early in March with some projectile vomiting and spent the next seven days crying (it seemed like it anyway) - during that time first Marla and then me were struck down with a similar ailment, which made looking after the twins a major difficulty. Luckily Maddie escaped the illness but was a bit of a moody young strumpet for a couple of days as it seemed we were giving most of our attention to the poorly boy.

Anyway, things are certainly better now and both Maddie and Morgan have begun to be quite cheerful. They both still have their moments but in all things are quite good. Here is one of their latest photos:



In other news, softball season starts soon for us and we had our first training session of the season on Saturday. It was wet and muddy and hence, very short, followed by a team bonding session in the pub. I can't tell you how excited I am for the season to start.

Liverpool FC have overcome a rather dodgy spell and have really started playing well in the last couple of weeks. They are third in the Premiership and are through to the semi-final of the FA Cup. It doesn't look like I'll be going to any more of their games this season but fingers crossed for next season.

Marla starts back to work next week. She's been off for a while and it will probably be a little diffucult for her to get back into the swing of things (and to be away from the twins). She will be working three days a week, so at least she will have four days a week with them.
