I'm a bit tired and under the weather tonight, so this update will be mostly picspam with a few comments thrown in here and there to clarify things.


Winter seems to have brought a little surprise present for Violet, though. I wonder what it could be?





Making sure the baby gets all the cheesy goodness it needs.



Arthur's managed to recruit one of the townies that hang around the village into the policeforce. Her name's Riana Something-or-Other, and she comes along with Arthur after work most evenings to get some tutoring in the noble art of policing.



Arthur: "...so when you come across a burglar, you...?"
Riana: "Run away as fast as I can and come and tell you about it!"
Arthur: "Let's start over..."



Violet studying some much-needed Parenting skills.

Violet: "Bottle goes in mouth nub-first? Well I never!"



Violet and Arthur's firstborn is a little boy (yay!) named Wensleydale. He has Arthur's red hair and grey eyes.





Gives a whole new meaning to the word 'babyface' :P



I'm glad you want to include your son in the cheese-lovin', guys, but he's not on solids yet. Bit of an enthousiastic serving there.







Birthday time for little Wensley! Time sure flies when you don't have a lot of pictures you're having fun.



Wensleydale: "Ew mom, get your hand out of my face, I don't know where it's been!"



Arthur: "When I asked if we should try spicing up our grilled cheese sandwiches, this isn't exactly what I had in mind..."
Violet: "Are you complaining?"
Arthur: "Noooo no no no no. No complaining here, ma'am."



Violet's PT face is awesome :)

EDIT: I mistakingly referred to Wensleydale as 'Damien' in this update. I blame this on being absolutely shattered when I wrote the update, and on having Damien in mind as a boy's name before I decided that the Picklethorpes were going to name their children after different kinds of cheese. Sorry for any confusion this caused!
