The latest...

Apparently this is the 146th post on my blog. That seems like a lot, doesn't it? Well anyway, what is there to report? Let's see, the twins turned 11 months old a few days ago. They are really starting to grow into proper little people, with their own personalities etc. Maddie is very cheeky and will often extend her hand towards you with a toy in it - as if to give it to you - and then quickly withdraw her hand and turn away from you when you reach for the toy. But at other times she is quite affectionate and will readily give you kisses, whether asked for or not. Morgan is cheerful and good natured and often blows raspberries (with or without food in his mouth!) but can be quite demanding when he is tired - his teeth still seem to be bothering him, certainly more than Maddie's bother her. They aren't walking or talking yet, but they certainly are mobile, cruising around holding on to the furniture or crawling.

We had a very nice visit from Marla's parents not long ago, which was quite a help. Ironically, they departed on the day that the terror alert was raised to it's highest level and were somewhat delayed in Heathrow during all the hubbub. But actually were only delayed by a couple of hours and got home in good time, considering what could've gone wrong.

The Premiership season is about to start and hopes are high amongst Liverpool supporters. It seems that we nearly all feel that the team has a genuine chance of really challenging for the title this year. But, we'll see.

Our softball season is drawing to a close. We have one more league game left and one more tournament weekend (this coming weekend - let's hope the weather stays nice). We've had a really good season compared to the last two years. We have won 7 games so far, which I think is actually more than we did in the last two years combined.

The next thing for us to look forward to is our trip to Ibiza in October. It'll be quite a journey, with my parents, my brother and Ruth and the four of us all going. The twins might even be walking by then, which could be fun/difficult.
