30 years ago

I created a "First decade book" as a gift to Josh, for his 30th birthday. This was taken on the day we brought him home from hospital on 30 January 1979.


Josh was 7 months old when this was taken at the park in Braidwood with his Dad, cousins Claire & Davey and their Mum & Dad.



He was about 10 months old when these two shots were taken in our garden.

Maxie made the cake for his first birthday party (but that was 29 years ago).

It was a double celebration yesterday for the January birthday boys (Rob and Joshy) and a welcome back for C & J & O & A, from their action packed holiday in Italy. It was a special enough occasion to celebrate with Moet on a perfect summer afternoon, 25o and very mellow outdoors, which the little kids all loved. Ollie seems very grown up - way too mature all of a sudden for the little people toys here (After all he's been to ITALY already; he can even say his "L" sounds now as well as some Italian words!).

Miss E didn't find the big boys games (with the "dog ants") overwhelming at all. She thinks her dad is great even though he's no longer in his twenties.
