A fresh start

It's been a while since I've been here. It isn't so much that I've not had anything to say - it's more of a case that I can never find a peaceful half hour to sit and post.

So where are we?

Right. Little Lady is getting on for nine months old. She is currently jumping in her jumperoo and screaming like a banshee. She does that a lot when happy.

She has hair (finally!) and two teeth. She can roll over and over and over and chases the dogs round the floor. She waves and shouts a lot. She is a thumb sucker.

We still have seven cats and two dogs. They have adjusted well to the changes in their lifestyle and are all very good about tolerating the interloper in a nappy.

The Baron is the Baron. He is growing tobacco again this year and is having a great time. He also has more homebrew on the go. I think he likes to hide in the garage so as not to listen to Little Lady practicing her velociraptor impersonations. There are days I'd like to join him.

We are also expecting another Little Chicken in October. That was a massive shock, since the Little Lady was only six months old when we found out. We didn't expect that it would happen so quickly, given how long it took the first time.

And that will have to do for now.
