The gorgeous duo is back…


Wedding season has been upon us here in England. And these past few weeks has been very busy specially for Nick. The college started back up again and in the midst of his teaching module on the Christian foundation, we had our community Fun Day! So today Nick is a little bit poorly, and that doesn’t happen often! Still at work today teaching the students, but due home for a sleep in a little bit. Bless Him!

Fun Day was great, and with the youth club going really well we are really getting to build momentum in our neighbourhood –it’s great! Being a blessing and making God famous.

Tias’ walking is improving though his head seems to take the majority of the falls contributing to his though guy look. He’s a bookworm, specially into books about animals, and he loves going to the library.
Eden is growing really quickly and with her maturing vocabulary we often find ourselves laughing at her very grown-up sentences. She loves dressing up, dancing ballet and creative stuff –very good at making up songs about anything from what’s for dinner to the names of her friends.
There’s never a dull moment in the Howes-house. We have loads of fun together!

Doodle do; laugh and play!


Thought our lovely audience out there would like to see and know more about what goes on in the Howes-house. Eden is craft queen. She loves painting (gets very messy –but she invents ways to put paint on paper!!!) Her favourite program, which thanks to Nick purchasing some sort of TV hard disk thing, we can and have recorded –it’s called Doodle Do. And for all you out there who know Richard Jones who I went to Covenant College with –it’s him; the program host or what you call them. I know you might say ‘Richard Jones? Are you sure?’. Well I do see it many times a day, so all I can say is if you are the lucky person who has Ceebeebies watch it!!! If not you’re missing out on elder Jones having some great making moments with three hand puppets!!! Thank you Richard –our house wouldn’t be having so much creative fun if it hadn’t been for you.

And here’s an example of a doodle do headband! Tias as always needs to put on his cheeky face. He is also enjoying Edens passion for making things as it means he now knows the different taste of yellow and blue, and has also had the opportunity to rub paint in his eyes! Life with him is never dull… Action boy!

Why don’t you sit down and be creative!?! But remember ‘tidy up –put away –ready for another day…’

Tias starts to walk!!

Yes, Mattias John Howes last night decided it was time to trim down a bit and start walking... not just a couple of steps, but going the whole length of the room in no time.
