Holiday - Celebrate!

Well it's my last week on holiday from work - despite taking a total of 6 weeks off work I've ended up with just over a week at home with Niamh and Joe and Sylvie. Still, we're having fun getting used to each other.

Sylvie seems to be going from strength to strength - she is feeding well and was weighed today and had increased her weight by 8 ounces in a week (though we had just fed her - ssshh - don't tell the health visitor). There seems to be a problem adding pictures at the moment but I'll try later

I was best man at Andy and Aine’s wedding on Saturday. It was great. Beautiful church (link attached http://www.stetheldreda.com/home.html ); amazing choir; great venue for the reception (an old bank on Chancery lane converted into a pub); Aine looked wonderful; great speeches (!). It was also just amazing to catch up with so many friends – to name a few Andy and Aine, Conor and Liz, Sam & Paul, Mark & Phil, Vic, Beth, and to meet the Magees and Foleys and all their friends. I can’t do the wedding justice in a few lines so I won’t bother – ask Niamh!

Have to say a huge thank-you for all the cards and presents we’ve received. We are way behind with thank you cards but will get there eventually. In the mean time – THANK YOU!
Huge thanks of course to Breda and to my Mum and Dad for their stunning baby-sitting performances. We’re talking 6.30 am to 7.30 pm with no breaks and onto night duty. We asked a lot and you delivered! THANK YOU!

I'm trying to attach a video from the days when we went to visit Sylvie in hospital several times a day. When we took Joe, he got very excited by the lifts as you can see – and seemed to be very keen to see Sylvie judging by the speed he ran off! Not sure if the attachment works....
