One of my friends has a cabin in the mountains and offered it to us this weekend for a much needed break. It was fabulous - a hair raising drive up 4000 ft of mountain in the dark and heavy snow, followed by arriving at this lovely place they have there tucked away in lots of tall trees.
It was a great weekend, we managed to relax and enjoy spending time together (something lacking over the last few months with all the DIY) and the boys had fun. We went into the local village which is an amusing tourist place done up like a Bavarian village and full of souvenir shops. We enjoyed driving around the beautiful scenery, and we relaxed in the cabin.
Harry took his first steps which is the big news of the weekend. He turned to me from where he was standing holding on to something and took around 10 shaky steps towards me. I cheered, Dylan cheered, and we raced up stairs holding Harry to where G was getting out of the shower. I put him down and he walked 10 more steps to his Dad! He was so proud of himself, bless him.
Tomorrow the Drywall delivery man is coming to drop off the equipment necessary for the downstairs room and hall and then on Tuesday the men start the job which should hopefully be completed with in a week - hurrah.
