Two weeks on

Little Iris seems to be settling in nicely. Waking only once on the whole but I am sofa sleeping so I can work. Caitlyn may tell a different story.
Asking for lots of family to be around has proved a winner, would have been very hard on our own.
More pictures posted if you click on any other pics to take you to the albums.

Iris Belle McCarthy Johnson

Well its been so long since I have posted anything that we have made and had another baby!
Iris Belle was born on the 21st of July at 1.30 in the morning at home in the same room and the same pool as Matilda Bean two and half years earlier. Both Caitlyn and Iris Belle are just fine (although Caitlyn is a little sore) and sitting on the sofa napping as I write this. Matilda is upstairs having forty winks also and is taking it all in her stride at the moment. She likes kissing and stroking her new sister and tells her 'its alright' when she cries.
The 'Belle' in Iris's name is in memory of our wonderful Bella Nana as well as alluding to the little pickles beauty!
All a bit weary after the sleepless nights and high emotions of the past couple of days but being well supported by Nana Johnson and Grandma Garrard who have been superstars of cooking cleaning and mothering.
Please click on the picture below to see lots of pictures and video of our lovely girls.

Will post again soon for the California and Amsterdam contingent to see everything that is going on.

She is nearly 2!

I cant believe it was a year ago I posted on this site....its been a busy year and a fantastic time for all the family. Matilda Bean is talking in fairly clear sentences now and is not shy in telling the world what she wants.
She helped me sand down a coffee table with the electric sander (delighted) and hoovered up the dust.
Ms Bean can be seen cooking up a storm in her Christmas wooden kitchen and wont be long before she is cooking dinner for real.
I have placed a link to a different site in the blog called OVI which uploads all the pictures/video I take on my phone automatically so please take a look regularly to catch up with the Bean and I will carry on blogging this year (unlike last!)
