Pappaledighet!

What a great time to be at home. The 'boy' is so full of life and energy, that I spend half of my time totally loving being at home and the rest of the time stopping him from eating cables in the house.

Every day is a gift and us boys are having a great time..

Faster faster faster...

Hello Loyal Readers!!

Yes, it's me again and time to throw in some new photos of us. Time is continuing to go quickly and 'the boy' is learning to almost run with the aid of his little cart/trolley. He is now the new owner of a brand new tooth, which he surveys reguilarly with his tongue.

More updates to come..

Ape and Ape-Child learning to keep the 'hair' under control!

Changing Jobs, Changing Roles..

Times are a changing..

The Master and Madam of the House have now changed roles in the house. Madam B is now gainfully employed and preoccupied with refining the finesses of the new job. I, on the otherhand, am gainfully over-employed by keeping our little master happy and active.


Of late our son has been showing glimpses of being a true toddler and starting to crawl a little and babble out words for us to decipher for meaning. The highlights of any day are: eating, sleeping, walking with the cart and when Mummy comes home.

We are happy with life yet tired in the evening and curse ourselves every night with "why don't we got to bed earlier". Well well.. we live and learn.

I hope you enjoy some of the new photos.. obviously they are of our son :-)

Merry Christmas from the North

Dear Readers,

We in the House of Broadley wish all of our friends and family a very Merry Christmas. Some wintery pictures from the Gulf of Bothnia where we are skating on the ice of the sea.

As you can see, we didnt feel brave enough to drive the car on the ice and therefore had to trade it in. In return for our great (pre-loved) Volvo 740 with receieved a sled for the same value. I'm not saying anything but I think we really won out of that one..

Anyway, we hope that Christmas is a happy and festive time to you all.We obviously are thinking of the true Christmas weather of sand, sun, and beaches... love to all near and far..

(Yes we only had one camera, therefore neither both parents can be in the same photo)

The Christmas Countdown..

A few snapshots from the Autumn that has now left us in the House of Broadley. Master Broadley Junior has been growing and becoming more a person and less of a baby for each day that passes.

A few of his new tricks include: saying "Da da", attacking any object of interest within his radius with the iron grip, eating paper, waking up about 3am and exercising vocal cords, and sitting up to play.

We look forward to the Christmas season, a time to relax and catch our breath before we start another year. Here are a few of the highlights from the last couple of months.

Baby Baby... growing up slowly

The pictures say it all. There are some babies that just always need just a little extra care and loving. A few pictures of an average day in his life.. sleep, wake, eat, enjoy life, and sleep.

Autumn Rains..

Hello Hello..

Autumn is here for real and the darkness reminds us of the coming Christmas. Before that we have been busy building our 'cave' for the hibernation of winter. I have been adding a few kilos to help survive the winter and Madam Broadley has been making a house a home.

Master Broadley has been ignoring the darkness and decided that 5am is still the best time to wake up. Therefore, it has also become our time to 'rise and shine' despite there being little shining in our rising!

Have a look at the photos.. Master Broadley has touched his first snow and the parents have bought a new bed.. the excitement never ends for us suburbians.. 'In the weekday,everday, we are happiest'

Over and out..
