And then it appeared!

The first egg has been laid! The Jessops had a very exciting day today with the discovery of the first egg from our chicks, we don't know which was the proud egg maker, but good on ya!I have a feeling that we will have many visits for 'egg checks' over the next few days.

Safe travels!

Triona, Jonathan, Diarmuid and Nara are all due home on Tuesday. We can't wait to see you all again guys! Wishing you a safe and comfortable 24 hour trip home!

Well done Mammy,Denise Granny!

After spending the last number of weeks typing up a zillion words for her essay, mam handed it in yesterday....well done!

A walk in the park

Delma and the Jessop girls all went for a walk in the Forest park last Monday the sun was shinning and the flowers were out....bring on summer!

The chickens have arrived!!

After weeks of preparation and excitement, our chickens have arrived! All is going great so far, no eggs yet, but they aren’t due to lay for a week, we told Sadiemay that they would lay an egg for the O'Dowd-Hills!
Unfortunately word got around the parish that 6 new chicks were in town and on Monday evening Mr. Mink arrived sniffing about our back door! I screamed at him...YOUR NOT WELCOME HERE, but he didn’t have any English, I think he understood my body language! We haven’t since him since!
Sadiemay now makes a daily morning trek to visit her chicks....

Our Chicken Coop is complete and ready!

After 2 weeks of hard work and sweat from Tim, we collect our 6 chickens tonight!
Hopefully they will be laying next week. Now that we have the chuck house and the play house Tims new project will be 'his' dog house!

Well done Lil!

Lillian showed us her first tooth yesterday,she created no big drama or upset,just her usual big smile!Very proud parents, Sadiemay is proudest of all!

Lillians hair is still going through the 'none there' stage, so after giving my own hair a full-on brushing, we used the 'fallen out' hair as a method of seeing how Lillian would look....too many styles to choose from!

Our Lilly Rae eats!

Lillian took her first spoon of rice on Saturday....its all abit over-rated~she thinks!mothers milk still takes first place.

Busy Bees!

We're back now a couple of weeks from the Land of Oz and its been all go!Tim's back at work and settling back in well(we miss him though!)Im getting into the whole 'homemaker' role,baking,walking, planting and laughing with my 2 wonderful girls!
