New Arrival in Wicklow




Last weekend Sarah and I went down to Wicklow to look after Jacob and Zac while Philip and Laura headed up to Dublin - and last Saturday evening Beth was born!!





This was taken a couple of days ago, last Thursday when she was only 5 days old. I'm looking forward to going down to Wicklow again next weekend with Sarah and Charlotte to see her for the first time.



Meanwhile it was our job to keep Jacob and Zac entertained, and so we got the electric trains out again - I suggested laying the track on the kitchen floor. After some initial sceptism from Jacob ("My Dad would say this is a bad idea!") at which point I reminded him he wasn't around to complain! a great track was laid, winding around the chair legs and under the table.


The following day we met up with Ian and Jane and the gang at Redcross church before heading back to theirs for a Sunday lunch with Jane's parents.

This weekend we have started the dreaded house-hunting - things started looking up with a beer in our local TGI Fridays and then we decided to have a pizza next door in the little Italian restaurant. Today we met Kristin - or should I say she met us at our flat at 10am (good effort, Kristin!) and went to Glenageary church before returning to our flat for a delicious Sunday lunch of pork tenderloins (good effort, Sarah!).

This week, we have an extra sailing course tomorrow night as we missed a couple of sessions owing to the inclement weather - that is if our instructor manages to get back from delivering a boat to Kinsale - he set off from Dun Laoghaire at 3:30am Saturday. This week is our last week of the course - we have met some great people, and are looking forward to our end of term dinner on Friday.

unbelievably they then decided to go to bed at 7:30 as they were tired - is that normal behaviour?
