Hi Mum and Dad!

I miss you and wish you were here. We are travelling along nicely. Toby has a cough and I have a sniffle, but we are well otherwise. We didn't get a text message from you, and I have to admit that I don't know how to send one - I have never had my own mobile alright? We'll ring you when Pippin arrives.

Hello to anyone else who may be reading, sorry about the last paragraph, but Mum and Dad are away. I have had a couple of phone calls and comments about my still being in one piece. Silly really seeing as I am not even due until tomorrow (note spelling of tomorrow Michaela ;). I think we are pretty much ready. I have seen Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the requisite two times. It wasn't fabulous, how could it be when one is familiar with the book? Still, it managed not to be offensive at any point, though it did threaten once or twice. Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were done pretty well and that was the most important thing for me. Anyway, that's done, and I have packed some things to take to the hospital, and frozen a couple of meals. I could easily make it to the 1st of July, but could just as easily go in tonight.

The real excitement, of course, has been the birth of our niece and cousin, Charlotte Joyce Goldfinch. Thanks to digital cameras and the Internet we have seen lots of photos of her because we might not see her before Christmas. I would really like a hold.

Jossie and Toby have grown up so much that we really need to have another baby. Joss and I painted our toenails today, she is such a girl. Toby is speaking really well, which is great, but he is losing all his cute words like 'crocodigle' - that was my favourite. We think we have finalised names for Pippin, and have checked that Joss and Tobes can say them. You'll find out soon enough.

There are lots of photos I could post now, but its been ages since I have posted anything and I can't remember how to do it. Anyway, Criminal Intent is starting so must go. I'll get Andrew to post some photos later.
