When you get tired from walking around the garden you can always hop on your quad bike!
Grandad got this quad bike for James and he loves it - once he got the hang of keeping the button pressed down ... and realized that it wasn't "broken" as he kept telling us. Now he just had to get the hang of steering ...
James got some new wellies!
They have trucks on, and they are very useful for all the puddle splashing he's been able to do recently ...
A guilty looking face if ever I saw one ...
" I wasn't doing anything to my little sister ... honest!!"
Cousins meeting for the first time!
Kezia was really sweet with Rebekah and took a real interest in her.
Reading a bedtime story with Grandad
The Holtog family got James this "Goodnight California" book - it's brilliant and James loves it, and it reminds him of his heritage! ;0)

It's so much easier to get around on public transport ...
James loved the wooden train, and even made a friend (not pictured!). It's the first time we've seen him introduce himself to anyone ... "I'm James!!!!" It looks like he's keen to make some new friends!
Blog interuption ...
Sorry - started posting some goodbye photos the other night and got interupted so here are a few more!! We miss you all!!!

Still no time for quality blogging!
Things are still crazy and there isn't much(any) time for blogging and so here is just one photo from Zoe and Julian's wedding at the weekend. As you can see I was a bridesmaid! It was a really lovely day and Zoe looked stunning. I'll try and write an update on what we've been up to and get some photos of James and Rebekah on here soon. To all our friends in America - we miss you!

We survived a week in England!
It's amazing to think that we've been here nearly one week. It's been a crazy, crazy whirlwind of a week and I think it's going to be that way until at least after Christmas! It's brilliant to be close to family though and today I went into Reading town centre (Downtown ...) with Rebekah, my neice, my sisters and bro-in-law (Dan and James went to see Dan's parents for the weekend) - here we are outside of Starbucks (SHOCK! HORROR!! And you thought all Brits drank was tea ...) in the RAIN!! It was Rebekah's first ever experience with rain (which might account for her grumpy face ...Kezia on the other hand is well used to it!). Yesterday was hot and sunny ... today was rain ... welcome back to the unpredictable British weather!
Not sure I'll get loads of time for blogging in the immediate future but now I've figured out a way to download my photos to my parents computer I should hopefully get back on track ... I think I've had withdrawal symptoms!! Got loads of photos of our last week in California that I'll post when I get chance.

Rebekah sitting in a suitcase!
Tomorrow (Monday 18th) is SHIPPING DAY!!! All our stuff gets shipped back to England ... we follow a week from today (Sunday 24th) ... It's crazy and still feels very surreal. What mixed emotions we are going through. The next few weeks are going to be manic and so there won't be much time for blogging (oh, and the computer will be all packed up too!). But we will be back with lots more photos once we are alll settled - I promise!! ;0)
Not saying goodbye yet ...
With John, Diane, Katy and Laurie when they came to pick up the TV Laurie is having.

Rebekah's first time on a swing!
Bekah had her first go on a swing today! She was a bit fussy when I put her in but she soon nodded off to sleep! This was the very sam swing that James first swung in. :0)

"That's enough!"
You know you're taking too many photos when your not-yet-2 year old looks at you and says "That's enough! Camera away now?" ...
