Sleeping like a baby...

It's been really nice these last couple of weeks to have family members come over to Ireland to visit and help out. (Nana Debbie from the USA comes next week!!!)

Each visitor has made their own helpful contribution to these early days.

Here's Grandad...



(Sorry, Dad. I couldn't resist it.)

15 Minutes Young

Still waiting...

...so Jane decided she would knit some cute, little baby booties in a choice of finishes. Ahhh.







They're bootie-licious!

Happy Birthday Charlie!

1st May was Charlie's second birthday. For several months now we haven't known if we would be able to celebrate it because of the arrival of the (yet-to-be) baby. It looked like poor Charlie was already going to suffer from being the middle child that gets forgotten.

But we didn't forget him! That baby hasn't come (although - breaking news - as of 4pm Jane is beginning to wonder...Watch this space!) so we invited a couple of friends around for some cake.

Here's a couple of photos and a video.

A Stitch in Time...

Jane is still waiting for anything to happen. In the meantime she has been busy finishing off a couple of knitting projects. She thought you might like to see them and be amazed.

But where are the little booties...?

Bloomin' Marvelous

Jane is now overdue, so I thought I better post this photo before the big event or it will look silly being posted afterwards.

This was taken just a couple of weeks ago. Jane looks very neat, as they say in Ireland.

Splish Splash

We all have embarrassing pictures of ourselves in the bath when we were children, so why should our kids get away with anything less...

Year in Review

Here's something that was planned at the end of last year, but I have only had the opportunity to do it now!

We hope you enjoy this selection of photos of Alannah and Charlie from 2007.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Alannah celebrated St Patrick's Day in the traditional Irish custom of flying a blue elephant.
