For James's fan club

Here he is....some of the pictures you have already seen, but I was fiddling with Picasa, and just had to do a quick collage of a few of the photos so far.
Doubtless there will be loads more to come, when he reaches other interesting stages along the way, but at this early age, here are a few of his expressions.

James in all his moods, except crying!

50th

I can hardly believe I am writing this, but we have at last reached the milestone. Yes,  our 50th wedding anniversary was yesterday....6th June, which also, incidentally, is the 75th anniversary of the D-day landings in WW2. So I was just a year old then.

We had thought of having a couple of days away, but with the weather being so horrible, we decided that we could easily wait until things improved.
So here is a picture of my bracelet, which, with the help of Summie, I am gradually filling up. Jim bought me two rose gold baubles for it, and when we mentioned to the girl that it was our 50th, she produced one with a 50 on it, so of course we just had to have that one too.

Next week is Jim's 75th birthday, so now I shall have to have a think about that. However, yesterday I made a trifle, as I know it is one of his favourites, and better than a cake, so that was our celebratory food for the day. Unfortunately, I forgot all about the bottle of champagne that had been in the fridge since Christmas, so that will be saved for another occasion.

It's gradually filling up.

4 weeks old

I think he will be a bit of a talker, judging by this picture

At a month, little James is starting to be more aware and making sounds. We say he is talking, but certainly he is looking around and things in the house interest him. So now here he is, having a 'playtime',and telling it like it is!!  He is as hungry as ever, and at this rate will be a giant!!

Telling it like it is!!
