Just a quick update - we all got back safely yesterday late afternoon. It was an emotional goodbye for the boys, but the journey improved quite quickly with the distraction of Roald Dahl's 'The Enormous Crocodile' and 'The Giraffe, the Pelli and Me' on CD!
The boys settled really well last night, with all asleep before 8.30 (Dibble was last to close his eyes). Cuthbert was quite upset and wanted to speak to his foster carer on the phone to say night night - but after that, Mrs D sung him to sleep quite quickly.
Mrs D got up once in the night to untangle Dibble from his blanket, but an uneventful night otherwise. McGrew had a dry night, which is absolutely fantastic! Small heads popped round our door at 6 this morning, and we had a mummy, daddy, doglet, McGrew and Cuthbert bed cuddle for half an hour.
We're off to Nana and Grandpa's for lunch later, and perhaps a walk in the park with doglet too.
It's only 9.30, but seems more like lunchtime already!

Excellent - glad to hear that you've had a good start. I remember bringing Boris home for the first time - and just being overwhelmed with the sudden reality of the responsbility! The feeling was SO much bigger than I had anticipated it would be, despite all the anticipation.
"The Giraffe, The Peli, & Me" is a work of absolute genius - especially if you have the version read by Hugh Laurie.
6am.... !?! :-))
Oh - and your header needs to be updated..... "soon to be" can be happily deleted!
Agreeing with THM that 'soon to be' can now be deleted. Am so excited for you all and praying that the boys continue to settle and feel at home. Love Roz and Mark
So glad they had a good night. We have a technique we use if Alice wakes up too early too often to get her sleeping longer. It really does work, so if you need it, just let me know. Also works with naps.
I must look out that version of TG, TP & Me.
We continue to pray that God will bless you all as a family.
Much love, P, S and A
