This has been a very interesting year for the McAdams family.
The highlight has been the arrival of our new baby boy, Felix Theodore, on 5th December. He came three weeks early, but fortunately with no complications. He weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz. and was 19 inches long. Felix was born at home even though we hadn't planned on it. By the time Lucy noticed she was in labour, our little man was already making his way out. We had no time to get to the hospital!
The older kids dote on their baby brother. They’ve been having an interesting year themselves as well.
Rose is ten, on her last year of primary school and doing an excellent job as usual. Her school has decided to put her in the Gifted and Talented programme because of her interest and hard work. We’re very proud of her. As always, she loves to read. Her newfound passion is Ancient History.
Julius and Simon are eight. They couldn’t possibly be more different. Julius enjoys rough play, is loud and likes to drive his siblings crazy, whereas Simon is quiet, caring and prefers to read or build forts with his LEGO. In spite of their opposite personalities, the boys are best friends and always look out for each other. They both joined their school football team this year and are having great fun at it.
Stella is five and began her first year of primary school this September. The school year hasn't had the greatest start for her, though. Barely three weeks after school started, she came down with the chicken pox. She developed a particularly rotten case, poor thing. Fortunately it was over a couple of weeks later, but she was miserable. She’s now doing perfectly well and enjoying her first year at her “big kid” school.
Elizabeth and Dylan are three years old and have just begun nursery school. They're very social, so we thought they would benefit from being in contact with other children their age. They're absolutely thriving in the new environment. They caught the chicken pox from Stella, but luckily theirs was a very mild case which was over within the week.
Lucy and James are doing very well too, still working at the same jobs, which they enjoy greatly. They're looking into moving into a bigger house by next spring.
Love,
Jamie, Lucy, Rosie, Jules, Sam, Stella, Bess, Dylan & Felix McAdams
