Otto's Birthday

Thanks to Lynne Woolfenden who posted a comment today, I thought I should come an update this site. It's been months since I have been near this blog. To tell the truth, it's still a little hard to visit - let alone read. But it's Otto's birthday tomorrow. He'll be three and I think that deserves an entry.
Last year at this time, Mum and Dad were toiling away in the kitchen making him a Hickory Dickory Dock cake. It took them hours. It's a strange feeling to consider how much has changed in a year. To consider the tornado that was dad is no longer going to be making birthdays events that rival Barnam and Bailey's. He would have been so proud of the little human being that is Otto. He is creative and funny and loves his family to bits - just like his grandfather.
We will do our best to keep the Geoffness around Otto. He still remembers Dad and has taken a photo of him and mum to his swimming class on a number of occasions. Thankfully he refrains from wanting to take Geoffy for a dip with him.
Ginger is a delight. She's turning into a real little girl. She loves her brother who is now finally giving her more than a passing glance. It's wonderful to know that Dad was able to see both these amazing people enter this world before he left it. And they will know their grandfather because we can never forget him.
