Well I did not do too well posting but to be honest there was not much to say. Everyone was getting used to Lachlan and some were trying to get a bit of sleep. I think it was good we were there, as Anne said extra hands are good.
Now we are in London at our usual lodgings. It's a good feeling to know where we are going and how to get there.
We went to church today at a place by the Tower, it's been there since 675.  I will never get used to old structures. Afterward we went to Regent St. to a huge toy store to find something for the boys in Canada. Came out a bit dazed from the crowds and noise. Later we had Sunday roast at a pub. Not much of a day but we are enjoying not being busy.
We sure miss Lachlan and his parents. Anne has been sending pictures and it seems like he has changed a lot since Saturday.

Well I feel a bit bad about not posting for almost a year. Sam's post kind of motivated me but not enough to actually write anything till now. After all these years it would be a shame to let Family Ramblings lapse. So i will try to do my part.
Looking back we had a busy spring, summer and fall. Winter not so much but I am quite happy not being busy.
So here we are back in Oxford and with our sweet sweet little Lachlan. He is three days old today. He and his parents are doing well. It seems that he may have his days and nights turned around but that will get sorted out sooner or later.
We were here for a week before Lachlan arrived and the weather was beautiful so were to get a lot of spring yard work done. It was so good to be outside in the dirt. Also good to be able to help by cooking and cleaning. Weather is now back to the cloudy drizzle we know so well.
We are thinking we may leave for a couple of days. I am sure the parents would enjoy alone time now that they see that they can handle a baby. Del has two weeks off from work as well as being able to take paternal leave later. Maybe we will go to  Bristol.
