Yesterday was a busy one, with lots of jobs around the house that needed doing. We had new wardrobes to bring upstairs, and the old stair gate that has defended the little ones from the ravages of gravity for the last five years was in the way. Now that Gabriel is quite adept on the stairs, and probably no more babies on the way, it was time to take it down.

Raffy was keen to prove his DIY skills, and I love this picture of him using a screwdriver for the first time, while still wearing his gi from his karate lesson.
