Never did we think we would be arranging a party for our child, never did we think we would be celebrating our child’s birthday but we did and we are today. Celebrate Pudding turning 3 today after him being with us for 10 months (which feels like forever). We originally wanted to go all out …
The little dude’s party prep is well underway. Pudding turns 3 on December 12th and we’re having his party on December 7th. We wanted to make this birthday special as this is probably the first ‘proper’ birthday he has had so far. He spent his first birthday with his birth mum, and we guess not …
On Saturday, we were invited to celebrate Xander’s (Madlads) third birthday at ‘Party Pod’ in Kent. This was the first official party invite he has received. EVER (we think) It all started Friday night when we were rushing around Asda and Tesco trying to find a Halloween costume that Pudding would wear. We weren’t sure …
Yesterday was the day that pudding re-connected with his brother since moving in with us, and boy was it an emotional one. We started the day well, Darran’s mum and dad surprised him on Friday so it was a late one Friday night for Darran (3 am)! we all got up, had breakfast and Bampa …
Growing up I never really celebrated Father’s Day because my birth dad was never really around. Today was probably the first time I realised how precious little moments like today can be. Celebrating our very first Father’s Day felt so special. When I was younger I used to dream about becoming a father and used …
As I sit here, writing this blog post on a Monday evening and after having a great day. Knowing that this time next Monday I would have just got in from work after finishing my first day back to work after 5 weeks is pretty shit.
As we sit here 4 days in, officially parents we’ve just stuffed a Domino’s down our throat and Pudding is fast asleep, let’s tell you how the last 4 weeks have been.
As we’re full steam ahead with meeting Pudding we thought it would be a good idea to give more information on how these meetings work and for how long. So here goes……
Day One of meeting Pudding couldn’t have gone better than it did. It was an amazing afternoon that Darran and I have been waiting over a year for. We got to meet OUR SON!
As I sit here with red eyes from crying so much, I thought I’d pour my heart out and fill you in with what happened today. Oh. My. God. You’re Early… So it’s 12:50pm and I’ve just finished prancing around the house in my pants. I have tidied the house ( well Tim did) and …
Darran, as usual, wasn’t ready at all which meant him leaving the house with curly hair (shock). We were asked to arrive promptly at 9.30 but arrive at 9.33. I’m panicking (I hate being late) but as we drive up to the place we see other adopters we know strolling down the road which made me chill! We walk to the entrance and give our names to a social worker which was a man – never see one of these before
Firstly, I want to dedicate this blog to my Aunt Wendy and Uncle Steve. Yesterday, they laid to rest their youngest son. He was a Daddy to two beautiful children, a brother to 3 amazing siblings and had a huge network of friends and family who all said goodbye! When we say “What A Week” …
On Saturday, September 29th 2018 we attended a Profiling Event in London at Barnardos. We went to this not knowing what to expect but knowing that we will be looking at many children’s profiles that are needing a ‘Forever Home’.
