To blog or not to blog

Seeing as we only ever really used this blog to put up pictures of Eli for friends and family who live far away I'm not sure it has much point anymore what with the advent of facebook. I shall have to think about whether we should actually start doing other stuff on here or whether we should just scrap it. Any thoughts?

Lovely, lovely all is lovely

1) Today we went to Chatsworth house gardens and it was beautiful. The sun was shining, there was not a cloud in the sky and everything looked and smelled amazing. Also we met up with my friend Cath there and here baby which is always a pleasure.
2) Eli is currently obsessed with Mary Poppins and Charlie and Lola in equal measure and "Poppins" is often the first thing he says in the morning.
3) Eli and I have just come back from a lovely week spent in my mum and dad's new house (at last- they have been living in a caravan for 9 months).
4) Last night Dave and I went out for dinner to the Kashmir Curry Centre with my sister and her family who were up visiting relatives in Rotherham.
5)I have made my first shirt (for Eli). I am very proud of it as it has a double yoke, french seams and is made to a much better standard than my usual slap-dash sewing. Also it is covered in cabbages and the woman in the shop when I bought it said that someone had once dared her to make a shirt out of it but of couse she didn't! I kept my mouth shut.

Happy New Year

Hope you all had a good holiday. We did although it did involve a lot of travelling and I think 4 different places in 6 days was not great for Eli. It was great to see everyone though and we enjoyed our christmas. Anyway things are back to normal now, Eli is finally over his cold which has lingered on since bronchiolitis and is finally sleeping through again. We have had three nights now of waking up before him, which is always good.
