Back in the sunshine again...

Hello from Sunny Antigua, we've been here for a few weeks now and are settling back into life in the slow lane. The hardest thing to get used to is that Kevin isn't here full time, he's in Hong Kong at the moment then back to London before returning to us here. We have some visitors to keep us company and are open to others coming.

Toby had his first day at school yesterday, first days are always hard but he went again this morning very happily. Which considering we spent a few hours at the hospital yesterday evening was a miracle. What is it that makes children run around a swimming pool, despite being constantly told to walk? Well he has 3 stitches in his chin to remind him to walk in the future.
He's going to be having regular sessions with a speech therapist now so hopefully we'll see or hear an improvement soon with his speech, he was getting better anyway, the only set back with this is that when he meets someone new it takes a while before he plucks up the courage to speak to them, during yesterday's session he didn't say a word and his new teacher told me that he didn't speak at school either, which is unimaginable for me as he babbles away constantly to me, his favourite subject is where water comes from and where the pipes that carry the water go, fascinating stuff, especially when you are walking through a busy town and have to keep stopping to inspect every drain and downpipe!
Attached are some recent photos, first day at school, with Michael on the step and in the pool where he can usually be found
