Graduation 09

This is me recieving the certificate at the Whitla Hall in Queen's University Belfast



At the Garden party afterwards!


eating strawberries and cream (Sharon - you can see that we not only use the sling to cary Micah but as a blanket as well - very useful!!!!!!)


Picture that Harrison took


We find it nearly impossible to get a family photo will all of us looking sensible!


It was a good day although admittedly a little stressful!  With 2 children the day is never about you no matter what is happening.  I don't think we were quite as organised as we should have been which was a little crazy at times but all in all it was a good day and I was proud of my self.  I really enjoyed the garden party and the weather was beautiful despite predictions of torrential rain!  We went out for dinner later in the evening just Jonny and mum and lorna and I.  It was very relaxed and the food was good!!  Today I think we were all exhausted.  Harrison slept for 2 hours this afternoon!! Micah was up feeding quite a lot during the night - at 12.10, 4am and 6am so I was tired but he did sleep well today and is down for the night (8pm).  He cal roll right over onto his tummy and is developing a real determined streak - he sees what he wants and you can see his whole body trying to get it - he is very strong.  He is also passing things from hand to hand!!
Anyway - that's our week so far - the rest of the week is fairly busy but not too bad!

This is Harrison in his rugby kit - he takes it all very seriously!



Daddy and Micah


This is me and Harrison at the same age Micah is now - do you think they look alike?




So Micah is 4 months tomorrow - hard to believe.  He is a very good wee baby, very smiley and happy - he knows how to work a room!!  He'll stare someone out until they smile at him - very funny!!!
He is rolling over like a pro and can work himself round in a circle on the floor.  He is sleeping quite well - still not right through but for 6 or so hours at a time, he had injections last week so that messed him up a bit but he is doing well!! He has discovered his hands and is grasping things really well - everything ends up in his mouth!  We are going to have to start thinking about what room we will move him too when it's time ( he will prob stay in our room til he is 6mths).  I don't think we will put the boys in the same room so we will have to tidy the study up (Nightmare).
Harrison is doing good too - we have had a few battles as he seems to think he doesn't need to do what I say but we're getting there.  He has tonsillitis at the moment so he is miserable but coping ok.  Micah had a great night sleep last night but then Harrison was up between 12 and 2.30am - typical!!  (will I ever get a full nights sleep again!!??)
He also 'graduates' from play group on  Thurs!!!!!  I am really looking forward to it, I know they have been practising something! I will miss play group - it has been nice to have 2 and a half hours everyday with just Micah  - I have to think of things to keep Harrison occupied!!!

anyway - i  think that's everything for now!!  My Grandma's funeral is tomorrow so think of us!!!
