So here's a quick overview of what we've been getting up to over the last few months.
Esme still isn't crawling (aged 13 months) but she has become quite an expert bottom shuffler.
Thomas' asthma seems to be a lot more under control now. His preventative medication was changed back in October and so far his wheezy episodes have significantly reduced.
Thomas is still on the small side, although he has grown a little bit in the last few months. I still hope there are no long term side effects of all the steroids he's been on.
Over Christmas we went to watch an ice-hockey game. My brother is the coach of the Bracknell Bees so we've been to a few games now. This was the first time that Thomas really took an interest and got the bug. He keeps on telling us how he wants to be a Bracknell Bee. So my youngest brother, Daniel, cut an old hockey stick down to size for Thomas and he spent a good couple of hours playing in the garden with his cousin, Cameron

We also went ice skating on New Year's day. Bracknell ice rink are well equipped for younger children. They have little penguins that children can push around the ice to help them get their balance. It was fantastic to see Thomas' confidence grow during the skating session.
My maternity leave ended in September and so it was back to work for me. Three days a week to start with and as of January full time. I can't say I'm too pleased with that. It's no secret that I'd rather be at home looking after my children, but unfortunately the mortgage needs to be paid!
As a way of supplementing our income and hopefully getting me out of full time work in the future, I became a distributor for Forever Living products in July. The products are amazing and I'm having great fun building my business. It fits perfectly around my job and the needs of the children.
