We had a quiet family get-together for Stuart's 30th birthday, with drinks at The Sportsman on Armthorpe Road. Ellie took a few of these too!

A surprise party for Scott at a nightclub below The Regent Hotel Doncaster, which me, Nicky and Mum Wade popped along to.

Dinner at Fritelli's, a Sicilian restaurant in Doncaster.

Jane's off to Iraq again and this is the last time we'll see her for a bit, therefore a visit was in order (it's a year since she's seen the kids anyway!). After that, a trip to the Oliver Twist kiddie-pub at Notton for lunch and a play in the playground.

Sunday lunch at the Rockingham in Doncaster, plus Ellie's new trike.

Grandma and Grandad Meese's wedding anniversary, so we went to Doncaster for the day and had lunch there followed by a cuppa back at Mum and Dad Wade's.

We wandered across to Doncaster Royal Infirmary, where Ben had given Nicky a bit of a bad night of screaming and stuff. Lots of cute baby photos to be found here.

A quiet New Year's Eve in Doncaster, waiting for Nicky to pop. Which she didn't, of course.

We went over to Nicky's parents in Doncaster for tea, where Ellie pottered around playing with everyone and Joel dozed.

Lunch at the Rockingham in Doncaster, followed by decorating the Christmas tree and (yes you guessed it) more Fotopic order processing!

A quick jaunt to Wakefield to get some clothes for the party, then wandering to Doncaster to drop Ellie off with her grandparents.

Sarah's off to Manchester Uni tomorrow, so we went out for a meal and a few beers in Doncaster.

Curry at Woodlands Aagrah near Doncaster to celebrate Dad Wade's birthday.

The second ultrasound scan of baby no.2, taken at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Nicky conducts her choir in the lower-school summer concert. Oh, and a bee.

Nicky's little sister finally turned 18. There were surprisingly few casualties of alcohol with only one lass falling off her chair, and it was really nice to see the rest of the family (some of whom we hadn't seen since our wedding!).

Sarah's 18th birthday. We bought her a digital camera - 'nuff said.
