September started, as always, with Kaili's birthday; it's hard to believe she is three years old already. Andy & Elaine paid us a visit for a few days at the beginning of the month also which was lovely. Now we're settling into real life: Mike is working a lot, I'm working 100% and our weekends are busy as always.

Jack is in great form. He is very happy with his childminder. He is coming out with new words in English, French and, of course, 'Jack-a-nese' all the time. He's obsessed with crocodiles (croc-o-no-no's) and helicopters (ock-a-na-na's) at the moment.
