2010 has been a better year for us.
In January we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Emma. Despite inheriting a few less desirable genes from the Black side of the family (tongue-tie, inability to sleep, love for macaroni cheese), she is adjusting well to life with us. She loves her brother, CBeebies, music and biting her Mummy (perhaps not in that order!).
Michael turned 3 this year and started nursery, which he says he 'loves a little bit'. He's enjoyed our travels this year which include his second transatlantic trip to the US for another uncle's wedding, his holiday to 'Crispie' on the west coast of Scotland and Butlins with the Adam family. He's also loved spending time at Grandad Black's house every weekend they'll have him! We've slowly managed to wean him off his addiction to the Wii, but he still enjoys playing Mario with his Daddy whenever he gets the chance.
Martin is still feeling the effects of chronic fatigue but has had no major relapses this year. He's enjoyed some improvement over the past few months, so we're hoping that this will continue into the new year. He's now adopted his own sofa in the living room, from which he is still able to competently perform his duties at technical consultant to the family.
Sarah is working hard to keep her kids clean, house tidy and husband in clothing combinations that aren't too offensive to the eye. She is extremely grateful for all the help and support she's received from friends and family over the past year.
We hope that you all have a happy and relaxing Christmas, and wish you all the best for 2011.
Here are some of our favourite family photos from this year - enjoy! (some are courtesy of our personal photographer - thanks Colette!)
