Look - we did get out in the canoe...honest!!

Believe it or not - this was the day that hurricane Daniel hit us! (It cleared up in the evening!)

Our bedroom window and the view at Kitts House, Fowey.

Mummy's Girls!

Taking in the view from the top of the hill at St. Ives - there was a beautiful rainbow out to sea!

Beth enjoying the beautiful weather at St. Ives!

The whole family outside Kitts House at the end of our stay in Fowey.

This is how the dining room and kitchen looked a couple of weeks ago. It has tiles and a bit of colour now - I'll get a more up-to-date picture soon.

The Birthday girl splashing in the sea at Swanage, having a fabulous time!!

Most of the crew at Corfe - just missing Nanna!

The day after Emily's Birthday Kath, Iain, Lyam, Heather, Nanna, Gampy and the 4 of us went out to Corfe Castle and we had a great time!

The girls found a little nook and posed beautifully for a photo!

I can't believe Emily's 2 already!! Time flies!

Our little princess at her ballet class in July - Darcy here we come!!! The last lesson at the end of each term, parents are allowed to watch and video their little angels.

Mummy & Mimi.

And from the front of the house...

Looking through the dining room at the kitchen and archway.

Looking at the back of the house - extension nearly finished.

Daddy's Girl...(there's a theme here...)

Gampy's girl...

A day out at Mottisfont Abbey with Nanna and Gampy Ebdon - we went on Father's Day and the flowers in the gardens were beautiful...the roses were in full bloom and we had a lovely day!

...and at her Birthday party on Sunday 14th June @ St Nicholas' Church Hall with lots of school friends. Here's the 'cake' Mummy made!

And here's the Birthday Girl out to dinner after a gruelling (!) day at school.

Beth's Birthday fell on her first Sports Day and here she is running her first race (but stopping to wave!!)

Welcome to the Pattison Family Blog. We thought this would be a good way for family and friends to keep up with what's going on here in Sunny Bournemouth!

We start a little way into 2009 when Bethany has just turned 5 yrs old and is about to finish her first year at Highcliffe St. Marks School and Emily is 23 months old and loving having Mummy and Daddy to herself while Beth is at school !

We are most of the way through our extension project and it's just getting to the exciting bit!!

We're looking forward to our holiday at the end of August with Nanna and Gampy Ebdon to Fowey, Cornwall and then Centre Parcs.

Here are a few photos to start off our new blog.
