This week we are calling it baked bean!

Hi all,

Time for my weekly update on Megan, myself and the baked bean. This week although a baked bean is smaller than a kidney bean (its approx size right now), it does sound better than a red bean that I hate, plus it is better than the shriveled grape name that we had been using recently. Also since Megan has a bun in the oven, we figure our bean would also be baked.

This week has been quiet, Megan just seems to be working hard and sleeping hard, which isn't leaving us much time together apart from weekends. But I am not growing anything inside me so who am I to complain.... I also don't need to try and push out what will likely be a world record breaking watermelon (bearing in mind the past McComas head sizes!!) But other than that we are doing well, with the only real news of any note being the weather.

It has still been a reasonable 13 degrees (45ish for you guys) recently, however the end of last week the Arctic winds started to come down and it got suddenly colder. Now as Megan pointed out it is nowhere near as cold as some of the minus temperatures you all get, but it was cold enough to turn the usual rain into ice or worse. So to our shock we opened the curtains this morning to the strange sight of snow on the ground. Now that may not sound too unusual, however remembering that we are a mile or so away from the North Sea and usually the salt stops it getting too frozen, it seems the greenhouse effect is at it again. However it has provided some entertainment, watching our odd cat Veto as he tries to remember what the white cold stuff is again.

Other than that the small time we have awake at home has been spent talking about plans for the baby (babies...? You never know it may yet turn out to be a new tv series of Megan, Paul and them all!!.... much to Megan's disgust when I remind her of that fact), as well as discussing plans for Xmas and New Year (Hogmanay for us) and the December visit of Cami which is now very close (not that Cami has replied to my email of last Monday!!!!!!!!!!!)

Anyway we hope you guys are all good, keep in touch and let us know that you are.

Take care, Love us XxXxXxXxX
