Ma and Pa Newton's

	As most of you know, we spent 5 weeks vacation in England this year. The kids and I stayed for 5 weeks and Rob was there for 3 of those weeks. We spent 2 weeks looking after Rob's sister's house while she honeymooned and then about 3 weeks at my Mum's house. The following pics are all at my parent's house. Here, you can see Luke helping washing Kitty in the bath. The dogs were very popular during our stay and the kids were very excited to give them a bath.
ssw	My friend Nicola visited us with her husband Paul and their 3 kids. This is a pic of Leilani with Bethany, age 7 and Billy age 4. They had a lot of fun playing in and out of the garden one evening.
	And here's the 4 of them with Luke giving a pirate look.
	Put 'em up! Put 'em up! Leilani appears to be body popping while Bethany looks to be amused at Luke. Billy's wondering if we are all done taking the Picture yet.m

At	At the end of the street where my parents live there is a large car park. On several occasions we went out there and hit some tennis balls together. This photo shows the state of Lani's legs after one such visit. Somehow I don't think the brush is going to make much difference.
	Another exciting event for the kids was when the fish pond was cleaned out. My brother Robin is working hard to clean it out here. d
	This is a great pic of my youngest brother Ben, looking very cute with his dimples.
	They are still surveying the pond activities. Mum's got the Benny Hill pose going here too.

	Mum was very excited to get a visit from her sisters one gorgeous sunny day. We spent the whole day in the Garden, it was great. After a while my sister in law Sharon mixed up a pitcher of sangria for us all to drink. From left, cousin Layla, Aunty Norma, Dad and Mum.

	This is the house where I grew up with my 3 brothers in Alvaston, Derby.
	Another lovely visit was had by all when Nana and Grandad Toone came by. It was an opportunity for the kids to see both sets of grandparents together. This doesn't happne too often with us living in the USA. From left, John, Luke, Lani, Chris, Lynne and Pam. JJohnD
	Here's a cute pic of Dilly smelling a strawberry plant.
	Kitty posing with Luke & Lani. She was the favorite puppy to hassle.

	Mum's garden looked so healthy and luscious while we were there. The following pictures show some different angles.
