This week's smiles....week 371

 Here we are at our weekly round up of the smiles from the week and even though life here is difficult we have lots to smile about.

Louie had an open day to celebrate his birthday with family and friends on Sunday and his Aunty Shell [and family] bought him a pop up fire engine and fireman's outfit....he loved it :-)

Lexi had more dance competitions on Sunday and proudly came away with 3 x 3rds and a 2nd......she really is loving life and we are so very proud of her.

Her twin brother, Sam was awarded the April Student on the Month in Music and in the category of Learning at school....he makes us very proud too.

Of course we also have to have a few funnies to make us smile....and I've found lots this week.  I'm sure something here will make you chuckle.

I hope you have all had a great week and have lots of smiles to share with us by linking up below.

This week's smiles...week 370

 I'm sorry I wasnt able to write a post last week and hope you understand and managed without me.

Thursday 11th we had a phone call in the morning from a paramedic to say my hubby's brother had died suddenly.  It was unexpected and was a real shock to everyone especially his 83 year old wife who had found him.  My hubby is one of the executors and there is a business to sort out.  John was a Civil Engineer and was still working the day before at age 76.....it will take months to sort out.

Saying all that it has also been a week of celebrations....

 This gorgeous boy was 2 last week and on Sunday we joined the family for the day in North Wales to celebrate....it was a much needed happy time together.

This beautiful girl was 8 on Tuesday....she's sitting soaking up some rays in the sunshine.  She brings us so much love :-)

We celebrated our 42nd Wedding Anniversary on Wednesday....it's on weeks like this one that you really treasure what you have.  We make such a good team.   Here's to many more happy years together.....I love this photo.

Our garden has been beautiful this week and always makes us smile.

Of course we cant have a Friday without a few smiles and because I was missing last week there are a few more than normal....I hope something here makes you smile.

Hugs,
