Entry 70
January
15th
Lacey
just stared at her new sister while she was sleeping in the cot. I walked in
and Lacey asked "Is that all she does? I want to play with her."
"At
the moment yes but Jewel will get bigger and then you can play with her.
However you can feed her and change her nappy."
"I
will help feed her but I won't change her as she smells."
I
understood not wanting to change a nappy but she didn't have to say it out
loud.
Tam and
Lacey would spend time outside in the garden, looking after the vegetable
patch.
April 8th
So much
has happened in the last few months, Jewel has grown a lot and is now my
shadow. She can now walk and talk and is into everything. Lacey is now
discovering science and how to make potions.
Dad is
now over 100 years old and is not slowing down. The girls adore him and will
sit and listen to him reminisce about the good old days. I bought a horse and
Lacey named him Sweet. We extended the garden so he can practice running and
jumps. However Sweet does drive Tam nuts as he eats any new plants she is
trying to grow, I've had to tell him off a few times.
Lacey
ran to our new ice-cream van to get a lolly. She loved this new way of getting
treats, that truck must be doing well.

10th
I found out
I'm going to be a Dad again for the third time. Tam decided to remodel parts of
the house and she put in a laundry room and redesigned the bathroom. She also
re-decorated Nina's old room so Lacey and Jewel can share. Lacey loved playing
pee-a-boo with Jewel and dressing up in her throne outfit. I have to say at the
top of Lacey's favourite things to do was having a bed time story for her
Granddad.
I heard
a noise in the middle of the night so I got up to investigate and found that
Lacey had snuck outside to feed a treat to Sweet. I know I should have called
her but I didn't have the heart.

15th
I have
entered Sweet and myself in a beginners race and doing the last bit of training
before the race and Lacey came and helped out at the stable because she brushed
Sweet and sorted out his hooves and saddle. She begs me to let her ride him but
I have told her that you have to learn how to look after a pet before you get
to do the fun stuff.
We
waited outside centre waiting to be called to take part in the race and at that
moment it seemed to take forever. At last we were called in. We qualified for
last place position but the moment the race started Sweet was off, he was like
a bolt of lightning.
I
didn't have to give much encouragement, he over took the first 3 horses and
then started to fall back and then he gained momentum and over took a few more.
The last lap was coming up and I kept thinking 5th place for a first race won't
be so bad but I guess Sweet had other ideas because without warning we had
actually came in first. Our first blue ribbon.

Tam had
now extended the garden and was growing different and more plants. She had
received a call that a restaurant wanted to try the produce so she took a
sample over and now they are going to recommend her veg to other chefs in the
area.
May 1st
As I
was driving home yesterday I found Lacey waiting outside Sophia's house again,
I called to the car and I asked her what she was doing? She told me that she
had been seeing her mum for the last few weeks. Lacey told me that she was
going to continue seeing her mum whether I liked it or not. She wanted to get
to know Sophia and have a relationship with her but told me as far as she was
concerned Tammy was more like her mother than Sophia was. "Then why see
her then?" I asked.
"It's
just something I need to do."
May 3rd
Lacey's
birthday, she is finally turning into a teenager. James turned up for her big
day but Nina couldn't make it as Emily was ill. When she came down stairs and
blew out the candles she looked up at me and to my shock she was like a mirror
image of Sophia but at least Lacey had the better personality.
I
almost forgot my sister did get married and here is a picture of her in her
beautiful gown on her big day.
