Emily’s 4th Birthday February 9, 2007
February 2nd was Emily’s birthday and she had a big party at home. 12 of her friends came over for a party in the afternoon to play games, have party food and a great fun.
The day after her birthday we all went into Southampton to go to the Bear Factory. Emily really wanted a new teddy bear for her birthday and so she got to make Snowy.
Already Emily is 4 years old and starts school this September. We had her school acceptance letter come through in the last couple of weeks confirming her place at the local primary school that Scott and Elizabeth go too. Do they really know what they are letting themselves in for with three Gilmours in the school?
Pictures from Emilys birthday have now been uploaded to the website gallery. Remember you need the password to access it. If you don’t have the password then please email or use the contact page to request it.
Happy New Year February 6, 2007
Sorry for not writing on here sooner, don’t know where the time has gone,, but to all Happy New Year, hope that the new year is bringing you much joy and happiness. For us it has started with a flourish, no sooner is Christmas & New Year over than Emily’s 
birthday was upon us. She had her birthday last week and we have got some pictures to put up on the gallery. We have added some pictures from over Christmas.
We had a very nice Christmas, quite relaxed. We all went down to Grandma and Grandad B’s for a few days over Christmas.
The children got a very special present from Grandma and Grandad B this year, which was their trampoline and they have had a lot of fun on it. Going on it whenever they can. Not even snow has stopped them. There are a number of pictures in our picture gallery. Pictures and a report of Emily’s birthday party to come.
Heather’s birthday is fast approaching…… November 22, 2006
Yesterday was her first party of the week with some of her friends from the Tuesday morning “coffee” group….
This weekend she’ll be visited by Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents and Cousins.
It’s hard to believe that it is almost a year since she arrived with us…..
it’s been a busy year……
Time for an update…. A day at Lepe Country Park November 19, 2006
Mummy was out last Saturday so Dad had to look after us children but it was a good job the weather was good so that we could go out on the bikes. Dad strapped all the bikes to the car and off we went to the forest but Dad decided it was best to go to Lepe Country Park. It was a bit windy but we all had a good time, cycling along the side of the beach until the sand got too deep to ride in. We played on the beach for a while until we cycled back to the cafe and had some lunch. I ate all my burger and chips whilst the girls ate most of theirs.
Dad has put more pictures in the gallery he says….

It’s been a busy couple of weeks…. The gallery has been updated October 28, 2006

The Gilmour’s ride again October 21, 2006
We’ve been out on the bikes again, but this time we have a new addition to our pedal power. We managed to get hold of a child seat to go on the back of Lisa’s bike. The plan being that this way she can do the school run on the bikes. So one October Sunday afternoon we went out for a trial run and took some pictures. The pictures are in the gallery, go to http://gallery.thegilmours.net/ to see them. Remember you need a password to view pictures within the gallery.
Heather wasn’t overjoyed at the bike seat, but absolutely loved going in the trailer with Elizabeth whilst Emily rode in the bike seat. It was a pretty successful trial and ever since when the weather has allowed Lisa has used the bikes to do the school run.
Problems with the main site October 6, 2006
Unfortunately we have had some problems with the main gilmours.net site and so we have reverted to this as the front page for now. Sorry for the trouble with the main frontpage. Hopefully we should have it back up and running very soon.
In the meantime please continue to enjoy our diary. We shall be putting up some pictures of the new house this weekend. Keep checking the gallery for the pictures. If you need the password to the gallery site, please drop us a note using the email tab at the top of the page.
All the best - The Gilmours
Finally moved. September 28, 2006
Our house move is now complete,the last few weeks have been a bit unnerving as we have been waiting for the final piece in the puzzle to fall into place. The nerves dropped considerably though when we were able to exchange contracts at the beginning of the month as this meant if anyone in the chain pulled out then they would be liable for penalties. Thankfully nobody did and last Friday we completed and the move happened.
Friday was a very busy day but thanks to the help of lots of friends, mainly from Church we were able to get everything moved and even had the beds set up so we could sleep. Scott, Elizabeth and Emily went for a sleepover at Nick and Matthews whilst Heather stayed at Reg and Jan Littlecotts for Thursday and Friday night which meant
that we could concentrate on getting things moved. On the day we had an elite force of workers helping us move for some though it was just too much
A really big thanks to all those who helped us.
We’ll post a couple of pictures of the new house in the gallery, I’ll put the link on here when they are up.
Out on the bikes… July 8, 2006
We’re having decent weather again at the moment and so we decided a bike ride was in order again.
This is the first time we have all been out on the bikes together since Heather was born and Mark had his bike accident. See here for the story of that accident.
So armed with a new bike for Dad and Heather strapped into her car seat in the bike trailer we headed off for a trip around where we live to see how they all fair on their bikes.
In the end Emily took the trike as she wanted to go in the trailer with Heather but as you can see from the picture there was no room. Our little bike ride only took us around the estate to the local shop for ice cream but it was really great fun.
