Another first

Jamie and I are blessed with such great fathers, fathers who have been supportive and kind, loving and loyal and most of all great role modles for us to be parents.

Well today was Jamie's first Father's Day. (With a baby in the fresh air, Emily hadn't arrived this time last year!) We have had a fun day; it has been a bit manic as J was leading worship and I helped plan the service, but we squeezed in a couple of cool things. Jamie had a lie in whilst Emily and I made cards, then we went to visit Grandpa David to drop off his pressies, (Granda is coming home from Romania to visit us on Thursday). We went to the Trafford Centre, then to grandpa's to look at the pressies we delivered. Then home to sort ourselves out and for J to mark GCSEs.

Can you tell Emily was feeling restless?!


Jamie wants to enjoy cooking and experiment a bit more so he received a cheesy commercialised apron, Incidentally Emily does think he is the best Daddy in the world as J can get the biggest laughs and giggles out of her where others, including myself fail!
On a side note but a first from yesterday... Uncle Greg,Auntie Sara and Auntie Deirdre... Emily is learning to throw a ball. Maybe she will like sports as much as you do!


I will leave you with these piccies, He adores her and me and we adore him.

Happy Father's Day!

Yes, we are planning to come back over to your side of the pond next Autumn '08 (and maybe for a visit in February or so).

See you then!
