About a boy.

One of the stops along the way during Suzy's blog hop was to Sue's blog Me and Mine.
Sue's post featured a great sketch, a fab page and a challenge with a prize attached.

When I saw the page that Sue had done I knew I had the perfect photo to use.
Last summer when the family came out to Normandy for a visit we went for lunch to a local restaurant, a favourite of ours where the first course consists of a serve yourself cold buffet.

After piling his plate high "a la Uncle Roger", Alex sat down beside me and I quickly snapped this photo.
I think the title of my layout says it all.

"can I eat now" 

Tim Holtz papers, alphas and embellies were perfect for this masculine page.

Nephews.

In August my sister & her family came over for their annual visit and we had a great time together. Catching up on each others busy lives, visiting the market, playing board games (it rained, a lot!). 
I even had a little one on one time, in the kitchen, with my eldest nephew Alex, who, let me tell you, bakes a mean lemon drizzle cake.
Lots of photo ops for Auntie Margaret.................................
This LO was my take on the UKS September House Challenge.

A lot of bonding goes on during the week and I made this LO using a photo that I took of Andrew (Dad) & younger son Nicholas as they got re-acquainted with Fleur our 18 month old German Shepherd. I converted the photo to black & white to fit the theme of the first weekly challenge over at UKS.

Andrew, Nick & Fleur

and finally, a special page for their Mum's album - the two of them together, larking around, the best of friends.

Love you guys!
