Hello,

So after almost 7 months of doing nothing about sorting wedding photos, I am finally getting round to starting an album. I have orded my first few prints to start ana ctual album, and we also bought a low resolution disk so we can put photos onto my blog, facebook and to make an online album to music. Here are just a few, we now have THOUSANDS!!!! literally!! Our photographer was incredible and caught so many moments of the day. It has been really emotional looking through them all. Tim and I just want to do it all over again, it truely was the most perfect day either of us could ever have dreamed of. We just loved every single second...


Well enjoy looking at these few, I may keep putting on some more every so often as I love them all so much!

Pheobe, George, Lucie and Maddie, they were all so well behaved. I hope our baby will behave as well at weddings or events we ever go to!
Our yummy food, these are just the puddings! Everyone still comments on how fab the food was at our wedding, it is so good to know it went down well as i always think the food and wine is a huge part of what people remember!

Hugs, gemma xxxx

Tim, Anna and Colin
The wedding was in a stunning thatched barn in Evesham, was stunning, decorated with fairy lights and hops (not sure how to spell that, does it have two p's???)
In the evening they had a Celiegh dance, here's tim with all the ladies! I did one dance but then someone trod on my shoe and it broke so didn't do anymore. I wasn't planning on too many dances anyway as it was a bit raucous!
Here's the top of the cake, it was very yummy!!!!
During the bits when the venue were setting out tables and clearing away we stood outside, it was quite cold so they lit these big fires. The two girls in the purple were the bridesmaids, they had amazing shoes!
Jom before the wedding (sorry photos not in order!!)
So we had a fun time at Tim's climbing friend's wedding. It was a very romantic and intimate ceremony and celebration. As it was in a medieval barn the food was a medieval banquet with big hunks of meat we carved ourselves and ate as much as you could fit in! YUM!

I am shattered now though as I have a cold and not feeling that great, off to bed early tonight!

Chat again soon, Gemma xxx

Here's an update for you ant! My bump is growing nicely still, the baby turns over lots now too at night which feels very strange and I get these big hard lumps sticking out which must be the babies head or bum I think!!! (Sorry mum - and any grandparents looking at these photos for the bare flesh) The shadows on my bump now makes it look like I have swallowed a basket ball!!!!


I just wish the weather was a little better so I could wear my skirts to school, I have a few really compfy stretchy ones like this, it's not even maternity (it's Top Shop summer wardrobe, meant to be a beach dress but fits perfctly under bump and is so stretchy I can grow much bigger and it will still fit!)

Not much news here really, school ok but am now desperate to finish. I am incredibly tired at the end of each day and it doesn't help that I have a bit of a sore throat today... I hope I'm not coming down with anything. Tim is fine, working hard enjoying his garden when the sun is shining. We are off to a wedding this weekend which should be really fun! I will take lots of photos to put on my blog on Sunday. Then one more week till the Easter hols! YEY!

I have some exciting things planned, my uni friends are taking me to Centre Parks for a mum to be pamper day, then my mum and sam are coming over to the UK to visit which will be lovely, plus Tim has a few days off over Easter weekend so we can spend some lovely quiet time together before this baby arrives!

I had better scoot, chat again soon, gemma xxxx


p.s. Ant you PROMISED you would update your blog and put some photos on!!!!! Where are they???????

Here are some of tim's scotland photos, it looks very cold and very wet! Not my cup of tea but he had a fab time! Below is Allistair eating lunch, again very cold and wet for me - I'd rather Cafe Rouge!
Tim at the top of Anhcaiteal (or however you spell it!!!)


Below is my bump at 28 weeks and a few days (can you believe I'll be 29 weeks on Monday!? crazy!). It is quite achey so I think it is going through a growth spurt. I am feeling it turn over and turn around now which is a very strange sensation (but lovely!)

Below is the gorgeous baby bouncer chair from Tony and Judith, it goes from birth to small child as it has different positions and turns into a chair.
Here are my boys being very cute, I think I could sell this photo for one of those birthday cards with cats on.
Well sorry I've not updated in a while. I had a very tiring and stressful week with parents evening. It was a long week and very tiring. I am pleased it is all over. This weekend we have relaxed with Tim's parents and still have a Sunday to go! I don't want the weekend to end! Next week is also a mad one as we are rehearsing for our Year 3 and 4 school play, I will be very pleased when Easter hols begin!

I had best scoot, we are atempting to cook a large hunk of beef on the bone. Tim bought it from the local farmers, it looks lovely but is a bit different to cook than what we're used to. I am sure it will taste delicious!

Chat soon, Gemma xxx

Ant MORE PHOTOS ON YOUR BLOG PLEASE!!!! XXxx
