What the postman brought today :-)

Today we received some beautiful photos of R's sister's baby all the way from Melbourne - only minutes earlier the children and I had been talking about whether we would get any pictures - he was born at the beginning of June, and we hadn't seen a picture yet - though my parents had been e mailed some and we were being just a little sensitive about it all - brings me back to previous posting about families!! However, through the letterbox came a present for Sam - her birthday is looming fast, and some lovely pictures of baby F - am now feeling just slightly guilty for even considering jealous thoughts and feeling left out - patience is a virtue I am sadly lacking in so many situations

And the other news the postman brought was that the dreaded swimming lessons are paying off and Sam is moving up a level - it's all progress - and I am gradually putting my guilt over my failings in the swimming arena away!
