Toby fell off the slide on the back garden and broke his arm just above his elbow, and is very proud of his cast

He also goes to group and loves to wear his backpack like his big sisters!

Gareth was leading at a friend's church in Oceanside in San Diego County, so we made the most of it and had a mini-break with the lovely Tony and Bobbi

We did the zoo on a very hot day - the hippos were cool, though (double meaning intended!)

Sunset on Carlsbad beach after fish and chips and Coldstone Creamery ice cream. Perfect.

Us!
